Marvel Comics Presents #55

Wolverine and The Hulk are busy getting acquainted

Brother-in-laws Stringray and Tiger Shark get into such a ruckus, they end up hurting the one person both of them loves most.

Jack Russell seeks a tribe of berserk werewolves and ends up becoming the target of a religious fanatic who seeks to cleanse the world of his kind.

But the story that gets my attention is the 8-pager set in China. A group of brothers make up a Communist superhero known as the Collective Man. A hero of the People, the government forbids the brothers from going to visit their dying mother. That's really the wrong move as nothing stops a collective man from his mama!

I've never heard of the Collective Man before. The logo on the back cover for the character(s) is so cheesy looking. But this was a very good story that was action packed. I wonder if he makes a appearance in Shang Chi or is this a character too controversial for Marvel to present least they fear the Communist Chinese government's reprisal in the all too important international movie theater market. But I'd be happy to see him appear in the MCU.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
