Cyclops in “the Retribution Affair” part 7 written by Bob Harras art by Ron Lim During his battle with Master Mold, Cyclops musters up enough determination to bring his power back, despite its near-neutralization due to the Retribution Virus he’s been infected with. But, after being swept easily aside, the X-Man and Conscience devise a plan. Since Conscience is based on Stephen Lang’s emotional engrams (and Master Mold’s programming is based solely on Lang’s rational mind), he may be able to “infect” MM’s programming, causing Master Mold to rethink unleashing the Retribution Virus upon humanity at large. |
Black Panther in “Panther’s Quest” part 11 written by Don McGregor art by Gene Colan The Black Panther manages to escape the South African soldiers and he seeks out Sarah Slade. He sets up a meeting with her husband for the following evening. After his conversation, he returns to his glider to rest for the night. |

the Falcon in “The Forest For The Trees“ written by Fabian Nicieza art by Dave Cockrum The Falcon breaks up a gang initiation and finds that one of the new members is the son of a neighbordhood acquantaince named Hal. But, when he goes to speak with the kid’s parents, he discovers that they’re influencing his bad behavior. Can the Falcon save this family from a life of drugs and gangs? Does a costumed vigilante even have the right to interfere? |
Wheels in “Lady Jane” written by John Figueroa art by Ron Wilson Wheels (of the Wolfpack) has his eye on a cute girl named Jane. And, when her ex-boyfriend won’t accept the break-up, Wheels finds a perfect opportunity to make his move. |
The Falcon tale is an excellent insight into the importance of parenting and the concept of “it takes a village”. I highly recommend checking this one out.
