Marvel Comics Present #44

The complete origin of the entity at the center of the Wolverine story is revealed. And our baddie is a really, really fat guy! Man, Marvel sure likes its villains to be obese. The Blob. Kingpin. Whatever this things real name is. Talk about fat shaming. 

The Avengers bring out the really, really big guns in an attempt to end the Enchantress' thrall over Wonder Man. Enter Captain America and Thor!

The Doctor Strange 8-pager was my favorite story. Doctor Strange has a new student- the Bull-like humanoid Rintrah. Strange is about to go out for a night on the town and encourages his apprentice to practice his magic. But a missed spell causes a mound of trash to take on a monstrous form. Now it's killing New Yorkers indiscriminately. Can Rintrah take out the trash on this baddie before it's too late?

Lastly, there's another one-and-done with another Native American hero: the Puma. I've never encountered this character before. And I must admit that my first encounter was forgettable. I honestly cannot remember what happened in this story. 

This issue wasn't terrible. But when you can't remember what happened in 25% of the book, I don't really think you can give this anything close to a perfect grade.

Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
