Fantastic! #43

In "The Vengeance of the Thunder God! [Part 1]," Thor must prove his worth before Odin by defeating the Absorbing Man within 48 hours, aided by reporter Harris Hobbs and a determined police unit. With Loki's deceit casting doubt, Thor races to stop the rampaging Crusher Creel—using a clever trap involving helium gas to send him soaring into the sky. As the clock ticks down, Thor returns to New York to briefly watch over the sleeping Jane Foster before preparing to face the Trial of the Gods.

In "If I Must Die, Let It Be With Honour!", Iron Man answers a call from Senator Byrd to confront the newly emerged Titanium Man, a former prisoner turned enemy armored in stolen tech. With Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan by his side, Tony Stark flies to Alberia, where the Countess de la Spiroza’s playful advances stir tension — but the real test lies ahead. As Iron Man faces his armored foe, a hidden minefield traps him in a devastating explosion, leaving his fate uncertain and Happy left wondering where Tony has gone.

In "Divided -- We Fall! [Part 2]," the X-Men—Professor X, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, and Iceman—find themselves mysteriously pulled to Central Park, where phantom echoes of their own powers test their resolve. One by one, they're overwhelmed by five formidable foes: Count Nefaria, Maggia, Eel, Porcupine, Unicorn, and Scarecrow. Trapped and separated, the team is brought to Nefaria’s fortress, where the villain offers them a twisted choice: join his scheme to seize Washington D.C. or face the consequences.
