Spécial Strange #7
In this standout issue of Spécial Strange #7, the mystery of the Omni Sword deepens as Darkfire recounts its arrival on Earth through ancient worship of the demon Nidhogger, and the legendary defeat by the "Last of the Viking Heroes." Sensei shares his own origin, revealing how he unearthed the blade in a Viking burial site—and how an unassuming archaeology student named Bill unexpectedly became Apocalypse through a mystical bond to the weapon. Written by Michael Thibodeaux and Jean Depelley, with art by Thibodeaux and inking by Marty Lasick, the story unfolds with haunting precision, colored by Reed Man and lettered by Reed Man. The cover, by Rodel Noora, captures the tale’s eerie, mythic tone.

Sensei then relates his tale of discovering the sword in a Viking burial site. And how a dis-interested archaeology student named Bill managed to 'inherit' the mystic link to the sword and become Apocalypse.
