Ombrax-Saga #246
"Le dernier adieu !" marks a pivotal moment in the Ombrax-Saga, delivering emotional closure as Patricia Starr testifies on Hank Pym’s behalf, leading to the dismissal of charges and a formal exoneration for both Pym and Hawkeye. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated with precision by Al Milgrom, with inks by Joe Sinnott and colors by Christie Scheele, this 1986 issue sees Pym retire from heroics, passing the Yellowjacket mantle to Captain America, while Elysius releases Eros of Titan from his vow—signaling new beginnings. The cover, a striking piece by Jean-Yves Mitton, captures the weight of this final farewell.
In "Le dernier adieu !", Patricia Starr’s testimony shifts the tide in Hank Pym’s trial, leading to the dismissal of charges and a full exoneration for both Pym and Hawkeye in the aftermath of Egghead’s death. As the Avengers reaffirm Pym’s standing and he reconciles with Janet van Dyne, he steps down from heroics, passing the Yellowjacket mantle to Captain America before retiring to a quiet life in the Midwest. Meanwhile, Elysius frees Eros of Titan from his vow, marking a quiet but profound farewell to a shared past.
In "Le crépuscule des dieux," Odin, Sif, and Frigga return to Asgard to find Loki once more wielding his full power. As the prophecy of Ragnarok looms, Odin warns that the end begins with the death of Balder the Brave—only for the invulnerable hero to fall suddenly, struck down by an enchanted weapon forged in shadow.
