"Combats" delivers a sharp, high-stakes clash in the Temple of the Dragon's Breadth, where the Warriors face off against the Folding Circle—only to be confronted by Tai, who reveals a long-buried pact tied to her past in Vietnam and the mysterious origins of the Well of All Things. With the Dragon's Breadth’s power at her command, she sets her sights on a final, devastating act, demanding the Warriors’ sacrifice to complete her plan. Meanwhile, back home, the trial for Vance’s murder reaches a critical moment as both the Thing and Vance’s mother take the stand. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Chris Marrinan, with inks by Andrew Pepoy and colors by Joe Rosas, this 1993 issue features a striking cover by Whilce Portacio.
