Owner's Description

“Lady Mandarin”. Mandarin, reestablishing the Mandarin’s control over the Hong Kong underworld. With that accomplished, her master, Matsuo Tsurabaya, orders her to take care of a potential, recently-arrived enemy, Patch. Wolverine has come to Hong Kong with Jubilee’s help, although he is still suffering both from his extensive injuries and from hallucinations. He and Jubilee visit Rose Wu, a friend of his working for Landau, Luckman & Lake. While shopping, Jubilee and Rose’ granddaughter are kidnapped by Psylocke. The Ninjas later confront Wolverine. Logan has the upper hand in the battle until he recognizes his teammate, Psylocke. She uses his confusion to take him out. In Cairo, Illinois, Storm, changed to a prepubescent child, is on the run from both the police and the Shadow King, not remembering her life with the X-Men. On Muir Isle, Banshee, who feels a wrongness, asks Forge to install a backdoor into the defense system he’s installing, so that they can slip back in undetected, should something be wrong. Polaris fears that the wrongness is her fault. Before she can act on this, though, she is taken prisoner by the mentally instable telepath Legion. <br /><br />This is part of the Act of Vengeance crossover, where villains attack heroes all over the world in a coordinated effort. Rose’s photo seems to be a hint towards Logan’s extra-dimensional activities with Landau, Luckman & Lake. Wolverine has connections to Tyger Tiger and actually helped her rise to power, as shown in Marvel Comics Presents #1-10. Jubilee’s costume with the colors red, yellow and green and the short pants is a clear homage to Batman’s sidekick, Robin.<br /><br />This Signature Series copy is one of only two SS copies in 9.8 condition. It is signed by Jim Lee and picked up from Kevin Boyd. Thanks Kev!! <br /><br /><br /><br />
