The stories starring Wolverine, War Machine and Vengeance come to an end in this issue.
The War Machine story gets interesting as we learn just who is behind the stolen Stark tech that has wound up in the hands of several gangs of L.A..
Wolverine's story, which had been a laugh riot, ends on a more serious note. A little bit of a disappointment. But the previous 3 chapters were just great.
Vengeance's story ends just about how I expected it to. That's not a bad thing. Hopefully, we've not seen the end of fellow NYPD cop Rebecca Taylor. She's the yin to Michael Badilino's yang.
Our lone new segment is supposed to star the New Warriors. However, only one actually appears in the story: Namorita. Recently, the Atlantean had undergone a mutation that makes her look more like an aquatic creature than a human. Now going by the moniker Kymaera, she awakens in an oversized aquarium; the lab subject of a deranged geneticist who calls herself Mother Matrix. The scientist's plan: utilize Kymaera's genes to become the mother of a new race of super humans.
The 3 tales that ended were all satisfactory. Though I do wish that the Wolverine adventure would have ended with those slapstick hi-jinks that had filled the first 3 chapters.
With the New Warriors thing, I don't know what to think. If this is supposed to star the New Warriors like the cover promises, where are all the other New Warriors? Why wasn't Namorita or Kymaera listed instead? Maybe her teammates will pop up in the next issue like when each member of Excalibur were featured players in their own chapter from issues #31-38.
We shall see next issue. So I will withhold full judgement on that story for now.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
