Strange #186

In "De l'importance d'être mortel," Northstar brings Aurora to a psychologist to confront her fractured identity, then turns to his close friend Raymonde Belmonde for comfort at her restaurant—only to find it under threat from the ruthless crime lord Deadly Ernest. When Ernest kills Belmonde with a single touch and takes Aurora hostage, Northstar must suppress his own powers in front of Belmonde’s daughter Danielle, vowing to avenge her.

In the frozen silence of the Arctic Circle, a forgotten headband awakens an ancient calling. When a lone digger answers its summons, he vanishes—only to return fifteen years later, changed. A year after that, Shaman arrives at the same desolate site, drawn by forces beyond understanding. There, the goddess Nelvanna reveals a secret too vast for mortal hands: a child born of the divine, entrusted to him.

In "Rien ne peut arrêter le Fléau," Madame Web receives a chilling prophecy of her own demise at the hands of an unknown killer—only to reveal that the threat is none other than the seemingly invincible Juggernaut. With time running short and no one immune to his power, Spider-Man must stand between her and the unstoppable force she foresees.
