Frankenstein #9

In "L'émule de Frankenstein," Deathlok—once a man, now a machine with a human mind—grapples with the echoes of his past as a flashback reveals his creation was orchestrated by his former army buddy, Major Simon Riker. The story unfolds with a chilling revelation: Riker, too, is a cyborg, his fate entwined with Deathlok’s in ways that deepen the mystery of their shared history.

In "Intouchable," a man's desperate quest for ultimate understanding leads him to construct a machine that promises to let him feel the thoughts of everyone on Earth—only to find his own mind overwhelmed by the flood of consciousness. Written by a noted mind, the story unfolds with quiet dread as the line between connection and collapse begins to blur.

In "Fuite nocturne," the FBI interrogates J. Jonah Jameson over his son's sudden disappearance, while Kristine Saunders finds herself ensnared by the deceptive Harrisyn Turk, who poses as her new art teacher. Meanwhile, Hate-Monger and Red Hate seize control of Man-Wolf, intent on reclaiming the Orbiting Space Station, but the beast breaks free during SHIELD's assault—killing Red Hate and turning on his captors.
