MARVEL FANFARE #48


Marvel Fanfare (1982-1992) #48
3 stories- all devoted to She-Hulk. Well, that was the original plan. It seems that John Bryne backed out of penning what was to be the 3rd tale of this all Jennifer “She-Hulk” Waters tribute. So, in order to keep with a theme, editor Al Milgrom commissioned a tale starring fellow Avenger the Vision. (The theme is now supposed to be green super-heroes as the Vision is partially green, but it’s a stretch.)
The She-Hulk tales and subsequent pin-ups are visually stunning and very good stories.
The Vision’s involves a man suffering PTSD and Vision’s attempts to cure him. Let’s just say without revealing spoilers that if Vision tried what he does on a real human, that person would be dead. Good Grief- next time, let’s just kill the guys entire family why don’t we. Really, what were the writer and editor thinking?
2/3 of the issue is great. The last third is a stinker.
Worth Consuming/ Worth Consuming/ Not Worth Consuming.

  Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
