\nWolverine <\/strong>and the Tyger <\/strong>miraculously survive the explosion that nearly killed them at the end of last issue’s episode. There’s an interesting moment as Logan and Jess contemplate the future. Roche is clearly evil and Logan wants to take him down but, if Jess replaces Roche as the new crimelord – she runs the risk of being just like him. In which case, Logan will be after her next. Later, Logan and Jess stop Roche’s punkboys from attacking Madame Joy’s brothel. The leader reveals that Roche <\/strong>thinks he knows who the Tyger is! Roche suspects that the Tyger is O’Donnell <\/strong>(from the Princess Bar). As the episode draws to a close, we discover that the crimelord has captured O’Donnell and subjected him to the torments of the Inquisitor.\n<\/td>\n

\nIn Washington, the investigation into Jody Choate<\/strong>‘s mismanagement of government programs continues – linking Latverian arms sales with the Anti-Drug initiative, Freedom Science Studies Institute’s experiments and more. Meanwhile, armed gunmen have been sent to dispatch the loose cannon, Marea<\/strong>. Her companion, the mutated Man-Thing<\/strong>, gets caught in the crossfire. \n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nShang-Chi<\/strong>, the Cat, Black Jack Tarr and Reston fly off to Argus’ Terrorist Base in Sardinia, where Leiko Wu is being held captive.

\nSub-Mariner<\/strong> in “From Sea To Deadly Sea<\/em>”
\nwritten by Steve Ditko with Hollis Bright
\nart by Steve Ditko
\n<\/center>
\n 
\nNamor<\/strong>, the deposed monarch of Atlantis, discovers a cell of Atlantean pirates who have set up camp in a Dead Zone area, surrouned by noxious undersea gases. But, these aren’t just pirates. Oh no! They’ve got loftier goals – goals of using the weapons they’re stealing to establish themselves as the new rules of Atlantis. Unfortunately for them, Namor defeats their leaders, Ruthar and the mutated Zoga. With the strongest of them defeated, the rest of the Atlantean pirates disband and Namor destroys their stronghold so that it can’t be used against Atlantis again.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The Sub-Mariner story is quite bland but it does illustrate Namor’s great love for Atlantis. Even though he was cast out by his people, Namor still cares enough to ensure their safety. <\/p>\n
