\nWolverine<\/strong> in “Black Shadow, White Shadow<\/em>” part 7
\nwritten by Marv Wolfman
\nart by John Buscema
\n<\/center>
\nWolverine <\/strong>enters the temple and finds his friends (Mai & Ch’un) chained up. White Shadow <\/strong>appears and recommends that Wolverine runs away – he can’t stop Black Shadow forever, after all. But, the X-Man doesn’t heed the warning and he explores the temple further. He discovers a morbidly obese native sitting on a throne, near motionless. Moments later, a portal opens in his chest and Black Shadow <\/strong>emerges to attack Wolverine.\n<\/td>\n

\nWonder Man<\/strong> in “Stardust Miseries<\/em>” part 7
\nwritten by Michael Higgins
\nart by Javier Saltares
\n<\/center>
\nAt Avengers Mansion, Captain America <\/strong>and Thor <\/strong>discover a badly beaten Beast<\/strong>. Meanwhile, the Enchantress <\/strong>has hooked up Ant-Man<\/strong>, the Wasp <\/strong>and Iron Man <\/strong>to her assimilation machine. She intends to drain them of their life forces and imbue them within Wonder Man<\/strong>, enhancing his powers to all-new levels! Cap and Thor attempt to come to the rescue but, they’re bested by Wonder Man and the Enchantress – and then hooked into the machine, as well!\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nDr. Strange<\/strong> in “Trashed<\/em>“
\nwritten by Roy Thomas
\nart by Dave Simons
\n<\/center>
\nWhen Doctor Strange <\/strong>is called to a neighboring dimension by his amulet, his apprentice, Rintrah <\/strong>is left to help Wong with household chores – like taking the garbage out. Putting his newly learned spells to work, he animates the garbage to have it take itself out. But, since he’s still new at this, the spell doesn’t quite work as planned and ends up creating a garbage monster rampaging through Greenwich Village. Can he set things right before his master returns?\n<\/td>\n
\n

\nPuma<\/strong> in “… And Not A Drop To Drink<\/em>“
\nwritten by Dan Mishkin
\nart by Gavin Curtis
\n<\/center>
\nPuma <\/strong>is faced with a lizard-monster that wants his family’s sacred land. The lizard offers to teach Puma the ancient ways and the ability to transform reality if he will just give his land over. Can Puma deduce the reason the lizard wants the land and then satisfy both it and his family tribe?\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This issue features early work by now-popular atist, Bryan Hitch. I haven’t read many Doctor Strange stories but, I’ve always enjoyed the ones that feature Rintrah. This issue was no exception and the Doctor Strange story was easily my favorite of the four. But, that’s only because it was truly a Rintrah story (not a Dr. Strange tale, as it was billed).<\/p>\n
