Marvel Comics Presents #18

2 unexpected holiday themed Marvel Comics Presents in a row?!? I must have been really good this year!

In the first Christmas carol, Jennifer Walters, newly unencumbered from the Fantastic Four is rather lonely this Christmas Eve. So the She-Hulk places a call to her former team leader, Benjamin J. Grimm- the ever Blue-eyed Thing! It seems like a trip down memory lane. That is until Doctor Doom shows up. Then Magneto and then... Nope not going to spoil it! All I will say is that this was a wild one and a great set-up piece to She-Hulk's amazing solo series by John Byrne.

The other Christmas piece also centers around a member of the Fantastic Four family. It's Baxter Center postman Willie Lumpkin who is accidentally visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The spirits were supposed to haunt J. Jonah Jameson. Instead, this case of a wrong delivery will turn the usual happy-go-lucky postal worker into a scrooge too!

Only 2 of the 4 stories are Christmas tales. But when you add the festive cover, this is a yule tide treat! 

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
