West Coast Avengers #25 (1987): Firebird quits

Wonder Man is in Hollywood, and gets a big movie role in a blockbuster, and then becomes a complete tool and decides to quit being a hero and just act.  Abomination visits him on the set.

Wonder Man fights Abomination for reasons I can’t understand and learns that Hollywood is unkind so he goes back to the West Coast Avengers.

He beats him a little too easily.  I mean, Abomination has taken on Hulk. Wonder Man should at least work up a sweat.

A famous director guest stars.

I’m sure Dino DeLaurentis is not proud of how he is depicted. 

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Englehart’s take on this team is the Mockingbird story, where she was raped in the Old West by Phantom Rider and then killed him.

She continues to struggle with the need to keep her own secret.

Also Firebird quits the team after joining last issue and saving Hank Pym from his own suicidal thoughts…

And finally, some time with Moon Knight.

I don’t know about Dino DeLaurentis, but the depiction of Moon Knight is so awful in this comic.

Moon Knight says goodbye to Frenchie and decides to hang out with the WCA for a while. Sniff. Sniff.
