Much more cohesive than many of the artistic visionary volumes, though there were nonetheless a lot of hands working on this volume. The initial Chris Claremont story from Marvel Team-Up is a big fight with a deus ex machina at the end, e.g., not very interesting [3/10]. The Marvel Two-In-One issue which marks Byrne's writing debut is a big fight, but with a fun premise [6/10]. Marv Wolfman's two issues about Blaastar and the Futurist should share flaws with Claremont's work, since they're likewise slugfist with a deus ex machina. However, Wolfman's clever juggling of the plots combined with much better scripting and dialogue raise the story up [6/10]. The sequel by Bill Mantlo about HERBIE is even better, nicely mixing an enemy within with, nice continuity, and a great ending--some of that apparently supplied by Wolfman [7/10]. Unfortunately when Mantlo writes a story of the Frightful Four on his own, the results are more mediocre [5/10]. Byrne's story that ends the volume is unfortunately pretty mediocre--though it has a nice ending--probably due to its origins as a promo comic.
