WEAPON OMEGA takes center stage, as the mystery deepens: what is happening to Michael Pointer (a.k.a. Guardian) - and who is doing it to him? Meanwhile, Detective Stacy Dolan gets one step closer to the truth in VANGUARD, but that step plunges her headfirst into danger. HELLCAT's war with herself comes to an end - but which one of her comes out on top? And finally - the OUTLAW KID puts his life on the line in a tale of frontier justice!
What else? The Hellcat story is vastly improved now that I have some idea of what the heck's going on. The Weapon Omega story, while slow-moving at times, is a significant leap over the recent Omega Flight mini-series. I only wish USAgent wasn't the only other Flight member to make an appearance. And, finally, the original story for this month deals with The Outlaw Kid, one of Marvel's many, many cowboy heroes. While I pointed out in my review of Bat Lash #1 this week how overcrowded the cowboy market is becoming these days, one short story is hardly going to tip the scales towards overexposure. Much like the "Vanguard" story, I was pleasantly surprised with Christopher Moeller's painted art. Marvel is packing each issue of MCP with a terrific level of talent, and that's precisely why the series satisfies so consistently. Open your wallet and fork over the 5 bucks. Trust me.
