Strange Tales #134

In "The Challenge of...The Watcher!", the cosmic observer sets the Fantastic Four on a mission through time to stop Kang’s conquest of King Arthur’s era, where he’s imprisoned Merlin and seized control. Though forbidden to act, The Watcher guides Ben and Johnny across centuries to restore the timestream—only to return them to a very different kind of battle: a teasing reunion with Reed and Sue, who aren’t buying their “hard day’s work” excuse.

In "Earth Be My Battleground," Dr. Strange returns to Earth in hiding as Mordo's spirits close in, forcing him to flee. With Clea drawing Dormammu’s attention by unleashing the Mindless Ones, Strange makes a desperate leap into the sun—only to return to The Ancient One, who whispers of "Eternity" before fading. As Dormammu consolidates his power and Clea fears exposure, Strange begins his search for the elusive truth behind that final word.
