Marvel Comics Presents #86

The newest tale that dives into the long and mysterious past of Wolverine continues to impress me. Cyber is a villain that terrifies Logan to his core. I love it!

This entire issue really impresses me, actually. 

The Firestar story really heats up as Angelica Jones plans an assault on the government facility that has captured her father. At the risk of her personal freedom at the hands of both the US government and Emma Frost's Hellfire Club. I'm loving the anti-hero dynamics of Freedom Force- the mutant version of Suicide Squad led by Mystique. I'm lamenting that this team never saw their own personal series or mini.

Hank McCoy becomes embroiled in an international incident during some sort of genetic symposium. We start to see parts of his past along with a developing subplot that will see The Beast becoming an ersatz secret agent. I'm excited about the prospects.

Lastly is another story starring the bounty hunter, Paladin. He takes an assignment to protect the owner of a minor league baseball whose life is threatened. But the assailant has a bomb and so Paladin must save the entire stadium. That is if his client ups his handling fee...

A flawless issue of MCP. A rarity in this series for sure.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
