Marvel Comics Presents #100

To celebrate MCP reaching the century mark, Marvel goes epic. Instead of 4 unconnected episodes, writer Howard Mackie (Spirits of Venom) and artist Sam Keith (The Maxx) take a single story and have it presented in 4 separate chapters.

Building off stories from the past couple of issues, the Doctor Strange villain, Nightmare, has decided to invade the slumber of a trio of Marvel Universe characters. First up, Doctor Doom. Nightmare has been using his insecurities as the totalitarian leader of Latveria. 

Then Wolverine, who for a couple of issues now, has been using Professor X's help to navigate a reoccurring night terror, faces Nightmare and causes the dream lord a tiny bit of battle damage. Which is something unthinkable in Nightmare's realm!

Last on Nightmare's hit list is Ghost Rider. The past couple of issues, Nightmare has been using some pesky little blue demons as weapons against Danny Ketch. Now licking his wounds from tussling with Wolverine, Nightmare goes for broke against the Spirit of Vengeance.

With Chapter 4, expect 3 very pissed off super-humans to pay Nightmare a visit!

While I hate the idea of this anthology series going away from 4 different tales, I was okay with this. It was a one-time thing. It was done to celebrate a milestone. And it felt like 4 different stories that were interconnected and not an overdrawn novel-length story.

A really enjoyable read. As long as MCP doesn't make a habit of straying away from its roots, I am pleased with the results of issue #100!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
