Marvel Comics Presents #89

We've got extensions of the Wolverine/Cyber story and The Beast's European adventure. But the stories that stick out in my mind the most are the pair of one-and-dones.

First up is the British World War II superhero Spitfire. She looks a whole heck of a lot like Firestar. Except for the blonde hair. Being as she made her first appearances in the pages of The Invaders in the late 70s, that's probably why for a very long time I thought Firestar was a mainstay in the Marvel Universe for as long as I did and not just a creation for the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends cartoon series.

Next up is a very fun yarn with Mojo! In need of ratings, Mojo and his production crew try to film the Mojoworld's next best thing. 8 pages was just not enough for this story. But I enjoyed every minute of this parody of home videos and the entertainment industry.

This issue was a jump back in the right direction. All 4 segments were enjoyable. But it was the 8-pager single stories that were the real winners.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
