There's a trio of stories in this issue. The cover story involves a man who must have emergency heart surgery. As a result, he's given an experimental mechanical heart which has some interesting side-effects. Due to a flaw in the heart's calibration with the man's metabolism; the patient is slowly turning into a machine!
The next story involves a character called 'The Green Glob'. A sort of Oa'n pre-cursor to the Green Lantern Corps, these unnoticeable gas clouds go around the universe secretly impacting the lives of total strangers. In this adventure, a con man flees to South America on a cruise line. Determined to keep his head down, the rogue finds himself the hero in a number of accidental situations.
The final story was my favorite. Four strangers on an elevator find themselves in another dimension when the doors open. It's one of those morality play stories in which each person overcomes their individual unique flaws to save the lives of the other three. I'm a sucker for these type of yarns and it was done extremely well!
They just don't make comic books like this anyone more! Interesting, intriguing and certainly unexpected!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
