Review: An exciting issue wherein Mandrill tries to take over a nuclear plant to get revenge on mankind and his parents. And the tale is enlivened by the old Good Guy turns Bad plot device which has a strong quality to it because of the close friendship between Hellcat and Val. The issue is still a bit talky, hallmark of Ed Hannigan whose final issue this is. It was a nice run, taking over from Dave Kraft and running with it. Next Up: J.M. DeMatteis.
Comments: Part three of three parts. Final issue written by Ed Hannigan, who has a farewell note at the bottom of the last page. Mandrill returns in AVENGERS WEST COAST #66 where he apparently dies before showing up safe and sound in a cameo in ALPHA FLIGHT #121. After that he appears in random comics over the years. Shadow Cloak returns. The letters page includes one signed, “Professional Criticism, Inc.”
