Marvel Comics Presents #51

The newest Wolverine led story has Logan facing his demons from his days in Alpha Flight. His former Omega Flight apprentice Wild Child has resurfaced after years of being believed long dead. Seeking another chance, Wolverine will pull out all stops to save the floundering mutant. 

Iron Man rejects a UN cease and desist order to conduct a one-man rescue mission for a close person friend being held captive by a Communist Asian nation. Though never mentioned by name, the country is either China, North Korea or Vietnam. My money is on China, with North Korea a distant second. Regardless, Marvel refused to name names least they be boycotted! 

And that infuriates me when companies like Marvel will turn a blind eye to the Chinese government's atrocities all for the sake of profits!

Then the French solider of fortune, Le Perigrine is recruited by the US Navy to help free a vessel from terrorists. I'm wonder if Tom Clancy wrote this one because it's got a military cover-up almost as big as the Red October!

A pleasing trio of stories to balance out the really lame Comet Man story. The only thing about this story that impresses me is that Billy Mumy and Miguel Ferrer wrote this story. Most people remember Mumy from Lost in Space. But I did not know that Robocop's Miguel Ferrer wrote comic books! Now I know why he didn't very many comics...

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
