About the Time Period- Reed was believed dead, Ms.
Marvel was mutated by Dr.Doom and put into stasis, Ant-Man was on the
team, and the fans were ticked off. Far from being a high point in the
book
Synopsis- The
Wizard makes a comeback and joins the Red Ghost and his Super Apes, Klaw,
and the Mutated Ms. Marvel together to finish off the team. The story isn't
all that bad, it's just the way it plays out. Ant Man versus Klaw, no contest, yet he
defeats Klaw with static. Roy Thomas is one of the greatest story tellers
to date, but since Marvel at this point was forcing story
lines to their writers, it seems obvious that it wa Marvel's doing for such
a bad story line and not the writer.
Best Moments-
The sonic ants were a nice touch as was
the basis for the story line. Aside from that, not much
else.
Weak Points-Where to start. Ant-Man and Sue in love almost, how
about Ms.Marvel against her teammates before vanishing forever, how about
a weaker Sue, or crappy artwork (Herb Trippe was great at one point, but
in this issue his work is sloppy). All of this adds to one of the worst
issues ever. Nuff'' Said. Sean writes in to say "The art was
horrible. But it wasn't really Herbe's fault. Were you aware
that he was told to draw like Rob Liefeld in this book, or hit the
road? This came shortly before he and other Marvel veterans were
fired anyway. The way Marvel treated him and others is a disgrace" Many
thanks Sean.
Over all rating-
