Marvel Comics Presents #118

Both the Ghost Rider/ Iron Fist and the Bill Foster Giant-Man stories end in this issue. Both were very good stories. I was more of a fan of the Bill Foster tale if only because it was a more energetic and fun story. 

The Wolverine story is a team-up with Venom. In typical Marvel fashion, the two characters think the other is responsible for their current predicament and instead of talking things out, they beat each other's brains in.

The one-and-done story was another Marvel 2099 introduction. This time it's Doom 2099. Could it be that the tyrannic leader of Lavteria has returned after nearly a century of being long thought dead? 

Upon reviewing the last issue, I discussed how despite the character of Ravage being touted as making his Marvel debut in the pages of MCP, the Marvel [Database] wiki claims that Ravage 2099 was that guy's debut comic. Well, Marvel's editing staff claim that Doom 2099 is making his debut in this book and I wanted to know what that other resource thought. They concur that issue #118 is the first appearance. Hmmm... I wonder why the wiki agrees on the first showing of Doom 2099 but not Ravage? I guess it's just one of those eternal questions that wie'll never have an answer to.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
