In "Hulk est parmi nous!", a desperate Omega Flight flees their clash with Alpha Flight only to stumble into Madison Jeffries at a mall parking lot—where he effortlessly takes them down. Meanwhile, Talisman, still furious with her father after being pulled from Shaman’s medicine pouch by the Beyonder, uses her magic to send the team back to base without her. And when Roger Bochs attempts to transfer Walter into a new, more fitting body, he accidentally activates the form of the incredible Hulk—just as the team’s troubles are far from over.

In "null," Alpha Flight faces their greatest challenge yet when their attempt to replace Walter with a new host goes awry, accidentally binding the Hulk to their mission. Now hunted across Canada by the rampaging green giant, the team must confront their own insecurities to stand a chance. This pivotal story marks Alpha Flight’s official rise as Canada’s premier superhero team.

In "Démasqué!", Spider-Man finally unmasking his foe in a brutal showdown with the Hobgoblin, only to be stunned by the revelation: the villain is none other than Flash Thompson—his old friend and high school rival. But as the truth unravels, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and the fallout from the Human Fly’s death casts a shadow over the confrontation.

In "Purgatoire," Matt faces the Kingpin in a brutal showdown that leaves him broken and abandoned—only to rise again from the river, body unclaimed and fate uncertain. The story unfolds with raw intensity, tracing Matt’s descent and the eerie aftermath of a death that never sticks.
