Folks, if you thought our run-ins with the Maggia, the Locust, El Tigre, and the Super-Adaptoid were dull… well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Today we’re meeting the man once known as Merlin the Mad… now, Warlock (not that Warlock… not the other one, either!) I already can’t wait to read the Mutant Mail-Box letters about this one!
Speaking of which, we’ve got one of those here! Also, Bullpen Bulletins, the Mighty Marvel Checklist, our own Mailbag… and even a dive into the Voicemail box!
