Shanna’s multi-issue arc concludes with a thrilling conclusion that involves the She Devil being some sort of reincarnated Egyptian animal goddess.
Ok, the action is thrilling, but the story is just plain silly. It’s also a big 180-degree turn from the B-list Hollywood assassins plot of the past 3 issues. Turns out that this story’s writer had the first 3-chapters in the bag in 1977, but it was 10+ years later before he got the green light to finish it. What a difference a decade makes.
The second story is a very good romantic romp involving Patsy Hellcat Walker and her return to her hometown having gone from teen dream to superhero. It’s a great (and intentional) tribute to Marvel’s romance books of the 50s and 60s.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
