Bills started piling up and Lou turned to alcohol – so Rosemary took her nephew and left. After getting her new address from Lou, Comet Man <\/strong>takes off for Connecticut to find his sister and his son. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Max <\/strong>runs afoul of some gangsters but makes quick work of them with his powers.

\nLe Peregrine<\/strong> in “the Straight Approach<\/em>“
\nwritten by Fabian Nicieza
\nart by Don Heck
\n<\/center>
\nLe Peregrine <\/strong>has accepted an assignment from Silver Sable International <\/strong>to protect a shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz from a surveillance station’s blockade. When he lands at the station, he’s met with American troops that reveal the corporation that hired Sable International was Stane International<\/strong>. Stane has been dirty dealing with both sides of the Strait – trading in munitions, hardware and oil. So, the mercenary clears the way for the Stane ship to make it through the Strait – and then, as payback for being put in a bad situation, he attaches an explosive to its hull and warns the crew to evacuate.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Like the previous Wolverine story, this one appears like it’s going to be very action-oriented, as well. The Comet Man story kicks up a notch with the hero befriending the villain’s secret identity. To be honest, the Iron Man story seems like it’s supposed to be heart-touching but I feel like I’m missing out on some of the subtleties. Seeing the French mercenary in his own solo tale was kind of fun – I can certainly picture him holding his own mini-series if it was done in similar fashion. But, really – that’s Nicieza – fun comics are par for the course when it comes to him.<\/p>\n
