Marvel Comics Presents #76

After 3 intense chapters worth of torture, Weapon-X escapes and gets some revenge. Finally. It's about as gory and rough as you can get without this issue losing its Comics Code rating. 

The Shanna the She-Devil story still hasn't concluded yet. But it's full of action, this chapter is. 

Death's Head, the Marvel UK answer to DC's Lobo has a solo shot story. The robot assassin has the tables turned on him as it's the target of an intergalactic big game hunter. Like somebody can out hunt Death's Head...

Then the D-list Marvel character Woodgod has the other one-and-done slot. Rarely seen unless in the pages of a Marvel team-up series or a Hulk comic, the human/animal hybrid goes head-to-head with the nefarious Roxxon. The mega-corporation wants to capture Woodgod and his fellow Changelings. The 'best way' to do this involves convincing one of Woodgod's underlings to turn against the de facto leader and then kidnapping all the female Changelings. Let's just say that Woodgod's reaction is definitely one that was lead not by his heart or his head but another part of his body...

An interesting issue. Each story segment was very good. I think the Shanna story is running a bit long. But overall, I enjoyed this issue quite a bit.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
