The Master of Flame Versus the Monarch of the Sea!!

The fans demanded it, and now Marvel deliver!—Kinda. Considering the past two issues, the amazing cover art and premise, this one is big letdown. Much like the weakest of these Strange Tales issues, and the general whole of Tales to Astonish, the problem here is the large focus on bizarre uses and implementations of our hero and villain's powers.

Johnny feel'd the rest of th...
