"Do the Disney people know about this?" Honestly, you should always be asking yourself that.

Sometimes I grab these Marvel Comics Presents as I find them, to set up posts in reserve in case I'm busy or something. This issue was thrust upon me at a toy show when I bought something else; maybe we'll see why! From 1993, Marvel Comics Presents #132.

Technically, the Ghost Rider/Cage cover is the front, since it has the barcode, right? So we start with "Heart and Soul, part 2 of 6: Love Connection" Written by Karl Bollers, pencils by Freddy Mendez, inks by Chris Ivy and Ken Branch. (I always feel like the biweekly serials burned through a lot of story titles!) This was the 90's post-Power Man & Iron Fist Cage in Chicago, where he and GR are not doing great against Darklove. Um, that's the bad guy's name. This serial may have been Cage's first run-in with the Rider, as he indicates he previously thought he was a hoax. 

 Next, Iron Fist, in "The Book of Changes, part 8 of 8: All Debts Forgotten, All Sins Forgiven." I feel like that title is longer than anything I have to say about this one? Oh, all right: this may have been trying to build a new supporting cast for Danny, as the Contemplator had been manipulating him, his Rand Corporation, and HYDRA; in an effort to get him to step up and "become the superior man" and somehow bootstrap the rest of humanity up with him. The Contemplator leaves a triangular prism with which to contact him, which I'm not sure I ever would? Little jerk...

On the flip side, yay, Steve Lightle cover and art! "Brothers in Arms, part one: Trouble in Paradise" starts yet another Wolverine serial, this time written by Dan Slott. Logan's in Hawaii, working on his game, but can't hit on this island girl yet; she's on the run from cultists and smells like Cyber! Later, with a batch called the Coven, Cyber is just as unthrilled to realize Wolvie was there, "a little piece of grit stuck between the teeth of my life!" Cyber also finds the Coven to be creepy weirdos, but work's work.

Lastly, an Iron Man short, "Novel Approach," written by Glenn Greenburg, pencils by Paris Karounos, inks by Tim Tuohy. Ol' Shellhead--in the 90's modular armor--is attacked by an armored foe calling himself "Techno-Killer." A terrible name, which also happens to be that of the latest novel of a Tom Clancy-type. What's his connection? Is he responsible? Eh, maybe? It's not the worst short I've seen in MCP, even though Techno-Killer is an awful name for a book or a villain, and his armor is a solid orange like a traffic cone.
