\nWolverine<\/strong> in “Acts of Vengeance<\/em>” part 3
\nwritten by Howard Mackie
\nart by Mark Texeira
\n<\/center>
\nStanding over the knocked-out bodies of Ghost Rider and Wolverine are three figures: a father and his son and daughter. The next night, Wolverine wakes up in a hospital while Ghost Rider is fighting Deathwatch’s assassins again.\n<\/td>\n

\nPoison<\/strong> in “Vandals of the Heart<\/em>” part 7
\nwritten by Steve Gerber
\nart by Cindy Martin
\n<\/center>
\nFoxy<\/strong>, who’s now missing his left hand, recruits Dallas <\/strong>to take out Trinity Joe<\/strong>. And, though it would appear he’s helpless in his hospital bed, he is now inhabited by Mrinh\u00e4 <\/strong>– a mysterious, powerful force. Foxy invades Joe’s hospital room with gun blazing – but, when he exits the room, he’s now missing both arms! Poison <\/strong>looks on – fearing that Mrinh\u00e4 is slowly but surely taking over Joe.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\nFantastic Four<\/strong> in “Dark Dimensions<\/em>” part 3
\nwritten by Robert Denatale
\nart by Tom Morgan
\n<\/center>
\nMr. Fantastic calls the Baxter Building to alert the Thing <\/strong>that the Mad Thinker’s androids have been reactivated (see last issue). Just at that moment, the Thing is the victim of the first of many explosive forces. But, where are they coming from? He investigates the origin of the energy blasts to discover … a green-skinned alien!\n<\/td>\n
\n

\nVolstagg<\/strong> in “The Thief of Asgard<\/em>“
\nwritten by Sholly Fisch
\nart by Sam Grainger
\n<\/center>
\nThe Enchantress enchants Volstagg, implanting a mission in his mind. That mission? Steal the gem that Karnilla, Queen of the Norns, gave to Balder. The oafish Asgardian then embarks on a hazardous journey through distracting treasure (kegs of wine), dangerous terrain (winding stairways), and wild beasts (ok – it’s just a cat) – all to grab the emerald gem for the Enchantress. But, before he can hand off the jewel, it’s intercepted by his fellows: Hogun, Fandral and Balder himself. It appears that the voluminous one is not quite as stealthy as he’d like to believe.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Wolverine\/Ghost Rider feature was nearly a waste. It seems as if nothing significant happened. This Mrinh\u00e4 spirit is quite powerful … I hope we learn what it is next issue (the conclusion). It appeared as if the FF story was not going to be one large story but this issue clearly sets that notion aside. The green alien looks like a mix between the Impossible Man and the Infant Terrible. Finally, the Volstagg feature was excellent! It was truly the most enjoyable MCP story I have read yet. To be honest, I don’t know if there is a more perfect Volstagg solo story. This captures the character’s self-congratulation brilliantly!<\/p>\n
