\nWell, it turns out that Senator Wycombe wasn’t murdered – but he was captured! And, he’s going to be the latest experiment in Project: Glamour <\/strong>– the very same operation he was asking about last issue. Project: Glamour intends to rediscover the Super Soldier Serum that Ted Sallis <\/strong>was trying to unlock years ago. Sallis’ experiments played a part in his transformation into the Man-Thing. Meanwhile, back in the swamp, the Man-Thing’s empathic nature leads him to an occultist who believes the monster will create a great opportunity for her.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nDays after her Leiko Wu’s capture, Shang-Chi <\/strong>is still hitting the streets – looking for information that will bring him closer to his first love. When he returns to homebase, Black Jack Tarr <\/strong>invites the Master of Kung Fu to join him in his war on terrorism. Later, a package arrives addressed to Shang Chi, containing Leiko Wu’s severed left hand!\n<\/td>\n

\n 
\nThe alien Fear-Eater <\/strong>sets his sights on the Thing <\/strong>– putting him through the emotional wringer. He uses Ben Grimm’s grotesque appearance against him – hoping to set in fear of being stuck in his monstrous form forever. But, the first inkling of adversity leads to a great feeling of honor and self-esteem that quickly defeats any negative feelings – leaving the alien near starving to death.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/center>
\nNote<\/strong>: in this issue, the Thing is in his “pineapple Thing” appearance – easily my favorite look for the character.<\/p>\n

Note from the Format Dept<\/strong>: this issue’s cover returns to the wrap format established by the first issue.<\/p>\n
