Marvel Comics Presents #48

After about 4 dozen issues, Spider-Man is finally given the chance to star in his own multi-part series and what do you know? He's gotta share the spotlight with smelly old Wolverine. It's all part of MCP's new plan to have Logan play host a la Marvel Team-Up or Marvel Two-In-One with members of the Marvel Universe. I'm all for a team-up. They're one of my favor genre of superhero comics. But enough with the Wolverine already!

As for this story's plot- a mutant girl and her father are targets of a gang of baddies. Both Spider-Man and Wolverine have history with the pair. So cue up the team up!

The two 8-pagers were fan-dam-tastic! The Wasp comes face-to-face with an obsessed fan with tragic results that come with a twist. Then the mistress of meteorology Storm is reunited with, of all people, Doctor Doom. Apparently, the two have a platonic history to which puts Storm up there with Reed Richards and Doom himself, as the only people who share the Latverian leader's respect.  

My thoughts of these 2 stories. 1) Give Wasp her own mini in this book! Just make sure that the creative team is Dwight J. Zimmerman (Sensational She-Hulk) and Rodney Ramos (Transmetropolitan) 2) Where can I find that Storm/Doctor Doom first meeting? This issue has piqued my interest so badly!

Rounding things out, the Devil-Slayer story keeps getting more bizarre and I love it! The characters change should be only temporary, hopefully. But for now, I really dig it!

4 great segments. Even if Wolverine continues to steal the show!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
