If you haven't seen the latest Marvel flick, Eternals, don't read this review.
If you do so anyway, don't blame me. Yes, I am spoiling something about the film. But I haven't seen Eternals either.
This issue features an 8-pager by that latest darling of the MCU- Starfox. It's an off-the-wall tale that was refreshing considering how grim a lot of the material in MCP is.
The Cyclops tale is about a terrible virus designed to wipe out the mutant population. The Black Panther story is about apartheid, racism and hate. And then there's the other 8-page one-shot starring Wolfsbane and Mirage of the New Mutants. It was about indigenous peoples and their loss of identity to white suppression.
For those of you who claim that today's comics from Marvel and DC are WOKE; let me just say Marvel Comics Presents was woke long before the alarm went off.
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with these type of stories. It's just if you are looking for stories to cheer you up and feel good about yourself and maybe even humanity- only the Starfox story is gonna do that for you.
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
