Strange #199
In "Ô temps, suspends ton vol !", Peter Parker is reeling after MJ confesses she knows his secret identity, only to be unsettled further when the Black Cat appears at his apartment and MJ leaves abruptly. As Peter grapples with the sudden shift, his new black costume takes on a life of its own, leading to a disorienting night of sleepwalking through the city and a chilling nightmare. With the help of Mr. Fantastic, he learns the costume is an alien symbiote, and after a sonic blast separates them, Peter returns home in an old Fantastic Four uniform with a paper bag for a mask. When MJ shows up again, tensions rise—just as the Hobgoblin makes a mysterious offer to the Rose. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Ron Frenz, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and colors by Bob Sharen, this issue features a striking cover by David Mazzucchelli.
In "Ô temps, suspends ton vol !", Elizabeth—recognized by Snowbird as the promised one—uncovers a coronet in her father’s medicine bag, transforming her into Talisman upon donning it. With Alpha Flight, she journeys a century back in time to face the ancient threat of the beast Ranaq.
When Peter Parker learns that MJ knows his secret identity, the truth hits harder than any web-swing. That night, his new black costume takes control, dragging him through the city in his sleep—only to plunge him into a nightmare of shadows and hunger. With Reed Richards' help, he discovers the suit is no ordinary gear but a living alien entity, and after a sonic blast rips it from his skin, Peter swings home in an old Fantastic Four uniform and a paper bag mask. Just as he tries to catch his breath, MJ shows up to talk—and someone else has a plan for the Rose.
In "Souvenir du passé!", Peter grapples with the weight of Mary Jane’s newfound knowledge about his secret identity, as she shares her family’s painful past for the first time. With the Hobgoblin reemerging and targeting Harry Osborn, Peter must confront his legacy—both as Spider-Man and as a man haunted by the past—while Mr. Fantastic’s attempts to reach Spidey through his alien suit remain unanswered.
In "Le deuxième secret," the Gael, imprisoned and desperate, uses a clothes pressing machine to break free and reach a hospital—his escape route tied to a mysterious mission involving the Old Woman of Beare. Daredevil intervenes, uncovering a dangerous connection when he learns that Glori is working for the I.R.A., thrusting him into a conflict where loyalty and truth are far from clear.
