Marvel Comics Presents #64

Vampires are the subject once more for the second issue in a row with a one-and-done starring Blade! With appearances of Safron Caulder, Hannibal King and Frank Drake, this felt like a missing issue from Tomb of Dracula. Old Fang-Face is mentioned. But he doesn't appear. Darn!

The Fantastic Four start off a 5-part series. It looks like the first 4 parts are going to focus on a single member of Marvel's First Family. First up is Mr. Fantastic.

Wolverine and Ghost Rider... AND Ninjas! Logan's foes are in Madripoor. Danny Ketch's are in Brooklyn. And it looks like both anti-heroes are heading for a showdown in the heart of Manhattan!

Meanwhile Poison finally meets the Mop Man and the reason why someone is trying to kill this poor paranoid schizophrenic with special powers is finally revealed. And it's one of the dumbest reasons for trying to kill a man. Apparently, when Mop Man is sane- he's quite the lover. And so jealous boyfriend who is like a wealthy day trader with fancy apartment, nice threads and an even nicer car has decided to hire a hit man. A hit man employed by one very large nasty crime lord.

A good run of 3 great entries and one tale that is completely flying off the rails. It's interesting. But geez, that Poison tale is it really implausible. 

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
