Nova #83
In "Prenez garde aux Retrievers !", Tom DeFalco and Ron Wilson deliver a tense, character-driven chapter as The Thing teams up with Alpha Flight to confront the ancient menace Ranark, whose madness threatens Canada. With Ron Wilson’s dynamic art and Chic Stone’s sharp inks, the story balances high-stakes action with emotional weight, as Walter Langkowski returns to New York alongside Ben Grimm—only to face the painful reality that even his strength can’t save Bill Foster from a fatal dose of radiation. Jean Frisano’s cover captures the urgency of the moment, perfectly framing the stakes of this pivotal 1984 issue.
In "Le Super Bouffon !", Spider-Man and Black Cat share an uneasy dinner that quickly turns into a clash with the Hobgoblin. As the fight unfolds, Black Cat's inexperience proves a liability, letting the villain slip away—leaving tension simmering between them.
In "... le Canada en péril !", The Thing joins forces with Alpha Flight to confront the ancient and unstable god Ranark, whose wrath threatens to consume the Canadian wilderness. After the crisis is averted, Walter Langkowski returns to New York with Ben Grimm, only to face a personal tragedy when he realizes he cannot save Bill Foster from the deadly effects of radiation poisoning.
