Marvel Comics Presents #52


Rick Jones and the Incredible Hulk appear in this issue. Just not together. 

Former Hulk sidekick Rick Jones is in the Caribbean taking a much needed break from the rigors of being a touring rock star. When the landlord of his motel is accosted by a gang of brutes wearing animal masks, Jones uses his experience as a former sidekick to Captain America to bring about some vigilante justice.

The Hulk story must be a flashback. In recent issues, he's been going as the gun metal gray Mr. Fixit. Now Hulkster is green again. Maybe Marvel had a special on green ink as the alien race of telepathic pranksters are also green.

The Wolverine/ Wild Child story is actually really good. It's refreshing to see Logan being compassionate and a little vulnerable for a chance. The Comet Man story continues to be trash. I just can't get into this domestic abuse multi-parter.

Once again 3 out of 4 stories are very well executed. 

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
