\nExcalibur<\/strong> in “Having A Wild Weekend<\/em>” part 4
\nwritten by Michael Higgins
\nart by Erik Larsen
\n<\/center>
\nMeggan <\/strong>awakes to find herself trapped in an episode of the Munsters<\/em>. But, when she manages to break free, the Loonies <\/strong>realize that something has gone wrong – someone’s messing things up with their system, allowing Excalibur <\/strong>to free themselves of their prisons. Of course, we know from last issue, that someone is Kitty Pryde<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
\n

\nBlack Panther<\/strong> in “Panther’s Quest<\/em>” part 22
\nwritten by Don McGregor
\nart by Gene Colan
\n<\/center>
\nZanti Chikane<\/strong>, wounded from last issue’s gunfire, struggles to his feet as the Black Panther <\/strong>gets the sonar glider off the ground. The Panther circles the glider around to rescue Zanti and they fly off to his village. The friends part ways: Zanti returns to his village, wife and family; the Panther ventures off to Devil’s Peak to find his mother.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nColdblood<\/strong> in “Rise and Shine<\/em>” part 9
\nwritten by Doug Moench
\nart by Paul Gulacy
\n<\/center>
\nAgainst his internal computer’s advice, Coldblood-7 <\/strong>decides to trust Gina (assuming she’s not a Mako-controlled robotic imposter) and the duo decide to take down Mako’s city by destroying its power station. They cut the power, leaving Mako <\/strong>with no computerized defenses (no more robot assassins) so Coldblood leaves Gina behind as he makes his way to the Library, Mako’s control center.\n<\/td>\n
\n

\nCaptain America<\/strong> in “Past and Present Sins<\/em>“
\nwritten by Sholly Fisch
\nart by Jack Sparling
\n<\/center>
\nGolden-Age super-hero, the Thin Man <\/strong>(of the Liberty Legion), tips off Captain America <\/strong>that an old Nazi war-criminal, Agent Axis<\/strong>, was smuggled into the U.S.A. and is now living in Queens, New York. The Thin Man discovered that his beloved land of Kalahia was destroyed, along with its people, by Agent Axis after the war. With vengeance in his heart, the Thin Man kills the Nazi war criminal in cold blood, as Captain America looks on in complete surprise and disgust!\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Wow! This Erik Larsen artwork is so fun to look at! It seems much more lovingly embellished than even his recent stylings on Savage Dragon. The Captain America short took an unexpected turn. At first, it looked like two, feeble senior citizens wrestling – and then it quickly turned into a murder scene. The most interesting part of the story is the wide array of emotions that the death stirs within the Star-Spangled Avenger.<\/p>\n
