After a very lackluster issue #122, this issue offers 4 fantastic segments. 3 of these segments are multi-parters.
In the Wolverine story, Logan stumbles upon a feral girl that contains within her a biological secret that could change the world. Sensing a kindred spirit, Wolverine will do whatever it takes to protect her from the researchers who want her back.
In the Ghost Rider story, Typhoid Mary returns! Normally, when I say that, I am talking about them just appearing again in the pages of this comic. But not here with Mary. This team-up with Ghost Rider is actually a continuation of the Typhoid's story with Wolverine. While I don't expect the X-Man to pop up here, I am now expecting there to eventually be a future story starring Wolverine, Ghost Rider and Mary!
Personal favorite She-Hulk is the star of the 3rd multi-parter that begins in this issue. A woman who has been beaten down by life gets a second chance with an experimental surgery. With increased strength and confidence thanks to an adrenal gland transplant, the woman paints herself green and goes on a rampage. The reason- to frame She-Hulk who put her hubby in jail in a recent court case.
Then in the one shot story, you will feel sorry for a Nazi! It's the final hours of the Captain America villain Master Man. Now in his golden years, heavily bandaged and in a coma, all Wilhelm Lohmer can do is reflect on his life. Knowing his time is near, the former Nazi realizes that his life choices were wrong. But unable to actually repent, Lohmer mentally agonizes on his sins to a point where all of the occupants of the hospital feel his sorrow and pain.
Yes, that story involves a Nazi. Yet, it's also a story about how people can change and regret their wrongs. But if you wait too long to do it, that's the real tragedy, I think.
4 very strong segments in an issue I couldn't put down.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
