Rated T+
The strength of the fabulous first and third story featuring Wolverine and Winter Soldier make up for a second story that didn't quite hit the mark. I highly recommend this issue nonetheless. Read Full Review
Marvel Comics Presents hasn't had an "essential" issue just yet, but at least Issue #7 shows that it's willing to try different tacts along with the seralized aspects. Read Full Review
An international espionage thriller of sorts, this short story sets up a massive arc for next month. Read Full Review
This was actually pretty good. Soule is hit or miss with Wolverine and this chapter is a bit better this time and I think it will read better as a collected edition. Siquera's art is a delight to look at.
Subprime Mortgage Man is my new favorite villain and I thought it was a very clever story up until the end when it fell apart and went against its own narrative. Still credit to Ryan North for a pretty great idea and almost perfect chapter that ended up tasting just as bad as the 2008 meltdown. Rod Reis's art is a great match and the facial expressions were well done!
Now the Winter Soldier chapter was the weakest in my opinion and forgettable.
The Wolverine story was okay. I like the Iron Man story, but it was a bit weird in the end. I appreciate the sentiment though. The Winter Soldier story was a bit nonsensical, however.
I went into this genuinely hoping Iron Man would fight the concept of a recession, and I’m a little sad he didn’t! Winter Soldier story was weird, so that drags everybody down.
The Wolverine strip takes a nice uptick. The Rien character is a purpose-built parenting challenge, though; contrived like a five-course molecular gastronomy meal.
