I'm really enjoying both of the cover stories. For myself, that's been rare. I think it's because both of them are tying up some loose threads from earlier stories. With the Wolverine story, the German mercenary Courier and the French bounty hunter Peregrine have teamed with Logan to help the young feral child known only as Lynx escape her former tormentors and captors. Too bad the mutant forgot that you can't trust soldiers of fortune. In the Ghost Rider story, Danny Ketch is troubled by a series of dreams of a mysterious beauty. Turns out, that mystery woman is Typhoid Mary!
I'm also loving the She-Hulk multi-parter. There's a She-Hulk impostor doing everything in her power to make She-Hulk come across as being on a Gamma induced rager. Jennifer Waters' only hope for help is a zany Batman knock-off character known as Nosferta! It's a great romp by Spider-Man Magazine's Kelly Corvese that has not disappointed thus far!
The one-shot story stars a 2nd rate Punisher type character called Solo. Really, it's not the protagonist who impressed me. It was the villain. That's because our antagonist is the South American baddie, El Tarantula!
Unfortunately, this isn't the Tarantula I encountered as a kid in the pages of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1. I didn't find out that it was a different character until later on after reading it. But the nostalgia factor was what sold me on the Solo story. As for the impostor calling himself Solo- he ain't no Harrison Ford!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
