The war between the Omegans and the Citadel rages on as Starfire and Blackfire duel to the death on Tamaran. A solid final chapter to a four-part, sci-fi epic from Titans regulars Marv Wolfman, George Pérez and Romeo Tanghal.

Storm falls under Dracula’s thrall once more, but what’s going on with a distraught – and seemingly murderous – Kitty Pryde? Another mismatched story of horror and superheroics from the future New Mutants team of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz.

A mysterious government agent enlists Spider-Man’s help in solving a murder while Spidey also pursues Doctor Octopus. This annual features top-shelf art from John Byrne and Terry Austin but the story, by Marv Wolfman, leaves questions unanswered.

An industrialist inventor’s effort to launch a tidal power station runs afoul of the Sub-Mariner – and the Magaia. Throw in Daredevil and Black Panther and this annual – by the creative team of Marv Wolfman, Chris Claremont, George Tuska and Frank Chiaramonte – still falls short of entertaining.
READ
Power Man, Iron Fist and Machine Man scramble to recover a computer “super-circuit” stolen by the Hulk. A ho-hum affair by Roger Stern, Herb Trimpe and a host of inkers.

A powerful Romani sorceress hellbent on revenge sends Nightcrawler to infernal damnation – or does she? On its own merits, this is an interesting outing from the team of Chris Claremont, John Romita Jr. and Bob McLeod. But it feels like a letdown in the wake of “The Dark Phoenix Saga.”

With the Bend Sinister looming and Doctor Strange laid low, it’s up to Spider-Man to save the day. One of the better annuals of the Bronze Age, from the epic team of Denny O’Neil, Frank Miller and Tom Palmer.
READ
Arkon the Magnificent seeks Storm’s help to save his world – and he won’t take “no” for an answer. Chris Claremont’s story is a pretty average X-outing, but the art by George Pérez and Terry Austin is magnificent!
