I've really not been a fan of the Billy Mumy/Miguel Ferrer Comet Man story. Maybe the domestic violence storyline that runs through the plot hits too close to home. Maybe it's just not that good. Well, I can't dog on the finale. There's a satisfying but eerie twist that was thrilling, unforgettable and unsettling.
The B-lister aqua-hero Stingray debuts in this book with the opening chapter of a 4-parter. I did not know that the character had ties to the Sub-Mariner arch-villain, Tiger Shark. They're brother-in-laws! It's definitely got promise!
There's also a one-and-done starring Black Widow and Silver Sable. The two femme fatales battle it out on the Eiffel Tower in order to lay claim to a former Nazi war criminal. Widow's working for SHIELD. Sable is working in the employ for some other international law enforcement agent. A flip of the could decide who claims the prize.
Plus, Wolverine attempt to reform his fallen protege Wild Child comes to an end. The ending is far from unexpected. But I did not expect to be such a fan of it.
4 superb segments in an anthology series that has had more misses than hits.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
