Strange #248

In the second part of "La colère d'Insomnia," Elizabeth races to reclaim her birthright as Talisman, seeking her father Shaman just as the Dreamqueen’s influence spreads through Edmonton. With Alpha Flight incapacitated and Sasquatch overtaken by the villain’s power, the circlet becomes a focal point of desperate struggle. As Snowbird arrives to break the spell and restore Walter Langkowski, the team braces for a confrontation with a madness infecting the city—while Elizabeth must decide what it truly means to wield the power of Talisman.

In "Heavy Metal!", a rogue Super-Adaptoid—posing as the Fixer—teams up with Machine Man, promising to revive Jocasta, and forms the dangerous faction Heavy Metal, recruiting Sentry 459 and Tess-One. With their new alliance, they launch a ruthless assault on Hydrobase, forcing the Avengers—Dr. Druid, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Black Knight, She-Hulk, and Captain Marvel—to confront a threat that’s as unpredictable as it is powerful.
