Savin awakens in the future with a new cybernetic eye, replaced limbs and the designation of Coldblood-7. Unable to remember what happened to him, he's given a clue to search out a mysterious woman who will answer all of his questions. But first Coldblood will have to stave off a futuristic looking array of tanks and helicopters that are all out to destroy him!
If you noticed similarities to Deathlok like I did, there's a very good reason. Dealthlok co-creator Doug Moench also was one of the creators of Coldblood. Even though I felt like I had read this before, there was enough differences in story and tone to make me want to read more of this character's story.
As for the other stories in this issue. Black Panther is stagnant. He's still fighting the same battle for what is 2-3 issues now. (Why is this story so long and boring???)
The Havok story isn't any better. It's got some kind of ancient Egyptian cult involved. And I don't care what anybody says, Egyptian cults are just boring. You have mummies and deities with animal heads. I get it. It's been done- to death!
The last story- a one-shot- intrigued me. It's got the Hulk taking on the persona of a Vegas enforcer called Mr. Fixit and the blue people of Atlantis. Someone thinks it's a good idea to pit a Hulk robot against Mr. Fixit. Only, Misses Banner's little boy ain't having it and he tears the android to pieces. Ironically, Fixit never learns that it's the Atlanteans who are behind the attack.
2 out of 4 stories were rather good. 2 stories were massive stinkers. At least it's not a political pity party as in issues past. I can see why Marvel went bankrupt and almost went under during this period of time.
Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
