Secret Wars #31
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "...Nothing to Fear... Chapter Five," John Byrne's striking artwork brings to life a haunting Arctic mystery: a forgotten headband awakens ancient forces, summoning a man to surrender his "seed of humanity" and return to Earth years later. A year after his return, Shaman is drawn to the same remote dig, where the goddess Nelvanna reveals herself—pregnant and in need of his help—entrusting him with the care of her newborn child. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, blending mythic weight and personal duty, all rendered in Byrne’s distinctive style and Yanchus’s evocative colors.
In "...Nothing to Fear... Chapter Five," the aftermath of Battleworld's chaos leaves the heroes gone and Doom struggling to contain the Beyonder’s overwhelming power. As the villains turn on one another, Klaw exploits the moment to manipulate Doom into resurrecting the fallen heroes—only for the Beyonder to reclaim his power, erasing Doom, Klaw, and Ultron from existence. When the heroes return to Earth, they’re forever changed: Spider-Man now wears a black alien suit, Curt Connors is cured, the Hulk bears a broken leg, Colossus mourns the loss of Zsaji, the X-Men sport new costumes, Lockheed returns with a dragon companion, Captain America’s shield is whole again, and She-Hulk joins the Fantastic Four as The Thing remains behind on Battleworld.
In the frozen silence of the Arctic Circle, a forgotten headband awakens ancient forces, calling a man to surrender his "seed of humanity" and vanish for fifteen years. When Shaman arrives at the same site, drawn by an unseen pull, he finds the goddess Nelvanna—pregnant and alone—entrusting him with the care of a newborn child.
