In "The Curse of Xanukhara," the Blackhawks race to secure a mysterious leather briefcase holding a secret that could alter the course of human evolution—two billion years of history reduced to a single, fateful plan. With the fate of World War II hanging in the balance, the team faces a mystery far older than the conflict itself.

In "Deathtrap for the Death Patrol," Del’s wartime flight takes a surreal turn when he encounters a strange gas, plunging him into a vivid hallucination where his fallen comrades—King Hotintot, Gramps, and Hank—speak to him from beyond, guiding him home. When he awakens, he’s stunned to learn the truth: the men he thought were lost are alive, having been rescued and healed all along.

In a high-stakes aerial duel over the Pacific, the Tracer faces off against the seemingly unstoppable Japanese war machine known as The Thing—its armored form unyielding to bullets and bombs. When pilot Dunn uncovers the robot’s hidden weakness, the battle shifts from brute force to a race against time to exploit the one vulnerability that could turn the tide.
