\nWolverine<\/strong> in “Blood Hungry<\/em>” part 3
\nwritten by Peter David
\nart by Sam Kieth
\n<\/center>
\nAfter his meeting with General Coy<\/strong>, Cyber <\/strong>has approached Tyger Tiger <\/strong>to seek out a counter offer for the powerful hallucinogenic drug he intends to begin dealing in Madripor. Meanwhile, Logan <\/strong>is bleeding out from the wound Cyber <\/strong>gave him last issue. He’s lost so much blood that he’s started hallucinating. Perhaps Cyber infected Wolverine with the drug when he sliced open his gut last issue?\n<\/td>\n

\nFirestar<\/strong> in “Life During War Time<\/em>” conclusion
\nwritten by Marie Javins with Marcus McLaurin
\nart by Dwayne Turner
\n<\/center>
\nAs Bart Jones begins to heal from his lung transplant operation, he’s unaware that his daughter, Firestar<\/strong>, has joined forces with Mystique <\/strong>against the Arms of Salvation<\/strong>. With Spiral’s help they defeat the the Arms and Mystique helps Firestar fake her death to keep them from coming back after her.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nBeast<\/strong> in “Just Friends<\/em>” part 3
\nwritten by Scott Lobdell
\nart by Rob Liefeld\/Jae Lee
\n<\/center>
\nThe Beast <\/strong>has a long, drawn-out fight against the Constrictor<\/strong>. During the fight, he recognizes one of the hotel guests as Dr. Ivan Kragoff (you might know him better as the Red Ghost<\/strong>). The Beast <\/strong>takes note that Kragoff looks like he’s dying. Just before he’s defeated, the Constrictor <\/strong>reveals that the Red Ghost <\/strong>hired him to kill the Beast. Soon after, the Symposium on Mutant Research cocktail hour begins and the Beast is introduced to his old friend, Jennifer <\/strong>Nyles. That very moment, they’re attacked by the Red Ghost’s Super Apes.\n<\/td>\n

\nShroud<\/strong> in “To Touch the Darkness<\/em>“
\nwritten by Eric Fein
\nart by Ron Wilson
\n<\/center>
\nIn Los Angeles, a gang is attacking senior citizens – and the Shroud <\/strong>wants to put a stop to it!\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Sam Kieth’s depiction of Tyger Tiger on page two is worth the price of admission, alone. Firestar’s story wraps up here and it’s plain to see this is intended as a prequel to New Warriors #1. I find it strange that they added in this plot point of faking her death. The Beast feature was a TON of fun – Beast is at the height of his quipping in his battle against the Constrictor. Shroud’s story was pretty basic – but I always enjoyed his story: becoming a crimelord in order to defeat crime. This short utilizes that plot point.<\/p>\n

Note<\/u><\/strong>: this is Joe Madureira’s first published work!<\/p>\n
