Strange #216

In "Pestilence!", Namor's desperate bid to free Marrina ignites war in Atlantis, while Alpha Flight faces the terrifying rise of Pestilence—now wielding the essence of Snowbird's child to fuel his dark power. As ancient beasts answer Pestilence’s call, Shaman dons the coronet of enchantment, becoming the new Talisman in a desperate stand to stop the onslaught, though the true threat slips away, carrying the child’s soul within him.

In "Les deux font la paire," Spidey’s search for Flash Thompson takes a wild turn when he’s pulled into a clash with Titania and the Absorbing Man, culminating in a tense standoff where the Absorbing Man threatens an airplane full of passengers—leaving Spidey to swing away, unimpressed.

In "Et la lumière fut !", the Living Laser returns—not as a man, but as a being of pure, unstable energy, driven by rage at Iron Man for stripping him of his humanity. Now a force of chaotic light and heat, he sets out to destroy the hero who once made him what he is, leaving a trail of scorched memories and shattered steel in his wake.
