“The Importance of Being Deadly”

In "The Importance of Being Deadly," Northstar brings Aurora to a psychologist to confront her dual identity, then seeks help from his friend Raymonde Belmonde—only to find the restaurant under threat from the ruthless crime lord Deadly Ernest. When Ernest kills Belmonde and takes Aurora, Northstar must suppress his powers in front of Belmonde’s daughter Danielle while vowing revenge. Meanwhile, Delphine Courtney extends an invitation to Alec Thorne for a mysterious new endeavor. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Byrne and colors by Andy Yanchus, the cover by Byrne captures the tension of a world where danger wears a smile.
