Human Torch - Back in New York! Hurray! Wait, he wants to go back to learn to become a cop?!?! Must be a side-story issue. I did like the ending though as it leads into Marvel's first character crossover storyline. Funny how random people in the arctic and other countries know of the Sub-Mariner, but the Human Torch (whom everyone seems to also recognize) does not know him. Hmm...

Angel - The Angel waited about three panels to find a new girl. Luckily, she too has a name. Too bad, she has a ton of dramatic baggage in her family. Baggage such as murder and blackmail... the usual. I say you walk out on that one Angel.

Sub-Mariner - All hail Prince Namor: Emperor of America! He makes his base the Statue of Liberty and goes to town destroying New York. Then Betty Dean shows up out of nowhere saying that the Human Torch has just joined the force. This ticks off Namor and he threatens to beat the Torch and Americans.

Masked Rider - I really did read this story only one issue ago. This time instead of the Bar W Ranch, it is Bar Y Ranch... clever storytelling.

Blasting Bombers - I never was into dogfights. Especially ones that were about fake countries named after real ones. Vinland and Nussian. Don't want to piss off any of your fan-base?

Electro - Electro shows himself to be a humanitarian robot while saving several victims of the Ohio River flood. Of course, several thugs decide to take this chance to rob the bank. Electro steps in to stop them. Not sure why they put in the elephant attack though. That was a little out in left-field. The writer must have gone to the zoo that day.

Ferret - I guess these just are never a mystery. This one though had a weird twist. It's a henchman dressed up as a woman. They don't explain WHY he is though since it seems to have nothing to do with the story other than you wonder who she is...

Ka-Zar - Ka-Zar finds that man can fly... planes. Guess he doesn't remember that's how he got to the jungle in the first place. Not sure how he hasn't found the wreckage in the jungle yet. Too bad he blows this one up. He finally has a chance to find a girl and he blows it by throwing her on the elephant and shipping her back to civilization since she can't hack it. Nice going. Getting a little too attached to the wildlife, eh, Ka-Zar?
