\n 
\nThe three attacking men, from last issue, check in with their boss, Alexander<\/strong>, to make sure he wants them to carry out the murder of their captive. Alexander confirms the kill and waxes on about the importance of carrying out covert operations within the United States of America and then controlling the message that is fed to the media. Meanwhile, before the attackers can finish the job, they’re interrupted by Colossus<\/strong>. And, that’s when we discover that they’ve got super-powers of their own.\n<\/td>\n

\nMan-Thing <\/strong>in “Elements of Terror<\/em>” part 11

\n 
\nThe decapitated Man-Thing <\/strong>head has slowly been rejuvenating itself and recreating an entire body from the swamp floor. Meanwhile, above Central America, the mutated Colonel Choate <\/strong>explains to his fellow freakish super soldiers their new mission of killing the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. Back in the swamp, Marea is reunited with our reformed muck monster!\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n 
\nWhile playing dress-up, young Cassie Lang dropped her grandmother’s diamond ring down the drain. And, for most kids, that’d be the last they saw of the ring. But, Cassie’s not most kids … she’s got a super-powered father … so it’s Ant-Man <\/strong>to the rescue!\n<\/td>\n
\n

\nWolfpack’s Slag<\/strong> in “Over and Over!<\/em>“
\nwritten by John Figueroa
\nart by Ron Wilson
\n<\/center>
\n 
\nSlag’s crackhead cousin, Chris, owes Ty-Rock <\/strong>(a dealer) one thousand dollars. And, since he doesn’t have the cash, Ty-Rock will cancel his debt if Chris kills a cop. So, Slag <\/strong>steps up to the plate to take down the dealer and get him to leave his cousin a lone. But, Slag quickly discovers that the war on drugs doesn’t care how strong he is, physically.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Ant-Man <\/em>story is an excellent example of the fun that can be had with this hero. Ant-Man stories can turn the most mundane things into huge adventures … kind of like those Honey, I Shrunk the Kids <\/em>movies. As for the Wolfpack <\/em>tale: it makes for a great after-school special. Additionally, Leonardi’s Colossus cover looks fantastically detailed!<\/p>\n
