Marvel Comics Presents #10

I love the Fastball Special coming my way from Mike Harris (Marvel Team-Up). It signifies the end of the Wolverine/Tyger Tiger epic, which ran about 2 chapters too long and the beginning of Colossus' solo epic, 'God's Country"; a story that I've reread at least twice so far and I like it more each time.

The Man-Thing story that isn't a Man-Thing story is hitting the home stretch and it's getting weird. Good weird. 

Then we've got a one-and-done starring Machine Man. According to the title, M.M. will meet the F.F. Only it's not the Fantastic Four. Nor is it the the First Family of Marvel's rotating line-up of arch foes, The Fearsome Four. No, this is a bunch of odd balls called the Failure Five. If it wasn't for the fact that the creative team behind this story consists of greats Steve Ditko and Dave Cockrum, it would have sucked major rocks. 

An uneven issue. But when you've got 4 chapters of 4 different stories going into completely off-the-wall directions, I guess this is the best you can ask for. 

Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
