Another very good issue.
We start learning more about the origin of the Black/White entity that is terrorizing Hong Kong. Tragic backstory about a poor mutant that becomes lab rat fodder. If they had started with this in the story, I probably would've been a fan of this entire story. At least this story has been improving over the past couple of issues.
Iron Man makes 2 appearances. He's still working with members of the Avengers to free Wonder Man from the enchantments of the Enchantress. Then in a single issue story, Tony Stark must dive into his company's newest AI when a baddie long thought dead imparts himself as part of the tech.
The last story was my favorite. It too was a single issue story; starring the daughter of X-Man Banshee. Theresa Cassidy is on Muir Island home alone when a group of mutant villains storm the house looking for poppa. Called the Kinsmen, these antagonists don't seem to realize that the child of a mutant might too have special powers. Using not just her inherited vocal mutant powers, but some ingenuity and martial arts training, Siryn plays the role of Kevin McAllister in this mighty Marvel take on Home Alone.
4 solid chapters. I think 8 pages was enough for the Iron Man story. But I would have liked Siryn's story to maybe have been a two-parter. It was very funny. I think doing 3 segments (or more) wouldn't have worked. But I think you could have done one cliffhanger with a Home Alone type booby-trap saving the day at the beginning of part 2. A missed opportunity but still a very good issue of MCP.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
