Marvel Comics Presents #21

There's a great story starring the mercenary Paladin. It involves a newspaper magnate hiring Paladin to rescue his daughter whose been kidnapped and held for ransom. Only the kidnapping was faked in order to bring awareness to protected lands owned by her father. And then you get the mafia, KGB and nameless other entities involved! It's a good thing Paladin charges for expenses!

This In Like Flint-type story was hilarious. I wish it wasn't a one-and-done story. The Scott Lobdell penned story was far more superior than the Cyclops mutant virus cover story and the way too drawn out Black Panther tale. 

The other 8-pager stars The Thing. This story was also very good. But with the subject matter of domestic violence and mental illness, it was also a heart-breaker.

I want more Paladin!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
