Strange #139
"Point de rupture..." marks a pivotal moment in Spider-Man’s story, as D.A. Towers officially clears his name—only for the Chameleon to strike with a cruel public smear, staging a false confrontation with an elderly woman during a press conference. With Flash Thompson rallying the crowd in Central Park to defend him, Spider-Man earns a rare moment of public acclaim, but not everyone is pleased: J. Jonah Jameson fumes in outrage, and a shadowy figure in a Westchester lab vows revenge. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Keith Pollard, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Marie Severin, this 1981 issue features a cover by Jean Frisano.
In "Point de rupture...", Daredevil uncovers the truth behind Maxwell Glenn's crimes, revealing the Purple Man's hypnotic control as the hidden force behind the recent chaos—just as Glenn is arrested for kidnapping Debbie. The revelation adds a layer of complexity to the case, forcing Daredevil to confront the psychological manipulation at play.
In "Le Caméléon égale... le chaos !", Spider-Man finds himself unexpectedly cleared of all charges—only to be thrust back into the spotlight when the Chameleon orchestrates a public spectacle designed to ruin his reputation. As the media turns against him, a moment of unexpected solidarity in Central Park sparks a rare moment of unity, but not everyone is ready to let the hero off the hook. The story unfolds with sharp tension and shifting loyalties, setting the stage for a reckoning that’s already in motion.
In the aftermath of a brutal clash with Firefall, Brandy and Brent race against time to awaken Rom from his coma, unaware that the Dire Wraiths have unleashed the deadly Thornoids to exploit his vulnerability. As the alien threat closes in, the fate of Rom—and the fragile hope of his allies—hangs in the balance.
