In "… une journée particulière," Tony Stark, still recovering from recent wounds and operating with an older armor design, faces a new threat when the Melter attacks Stark International. With Rhodey missing and Dr. Ian Forsythe unable to reach him in Scotland, Stark is pushed to his limits—both physically and emotionally—when Vic Martinelli uncovers Obadiah Stane’s involvement, leaving Stark with no proof to act. As old demons resurface and the weight of his responsibilities mounts, Stark must navigate a day where every decision feels like a step toward breaking.

In "... le Gardien !", Dr. Strange rushes to aid Rom in his battle against the Dweller on the Threshold, only to be blocked by the Living Tribunal, who warns that the balance of good and evil has tipped too far toward the angels. Forced to confront the In-Betweener, Strange fights on one front while Rom faces the Dweller alone—amidst a growing crisis as Brandy, fused with the Starshine armor, obeys Dredd’s commands and turns on her former allies.
