This is it! The final issue of Marvel Comics Presents!
There are 4 segments and they are all 8-pagers. Obviously.
2 segments continue stories that I thought were over. You know how at the end of a scary movie, the monster does a jump scare before actually dying off? Well, that's what happens here with Vengeance as Diabolique returns! Man, I hate that scary ass white kid...
I also had thought that Lunatik's story with Silver Surfer was completed last issue. But the two titans have decided once again to go toe-to-toe.
The other half of this issue involves characters from the epic 150th issue. There's a group of kids known as NewGenX. They've all been turned into living weapons thanks to the geneticists of The Fortress. That's the research compound that kidnapped Typhoid Mary during that massive issue. Well, these kids appeared in like 1 panel then and this issue is the chance to tell their story. As this is their only full appearance in over 80 years of Marvel Comics, apparently 16-pages was enough paper in which to tell it. Did I say 16-pages? That's because the mercenary Steel Raven saves the kids from The Fortress in her 8-page segment.
I never thought I'd finish this series. It had a few highs but a whole heck of a lot of lows. There was a bunch of Ghost Rider. Too much Wolverine. And not enough quality. This finale didn't do anything to end this on a high note.
Not Worth Consuming!
Rating: 4 out of 10 stars.
