☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Part Seven: Communing with the Smoke," Kurt Busiek and Yıldıray Çınar deliver a striking chapter as Threadneedle shares a legendary tale from the comic book world—how the nation of Siangcong was born from the fusion of a cosmic entity, Shan-K'ang, and the land itself. When the heroes return to Siangcong, the ancient presence begins to awaken, reshaping the world around them in ways both awe-inspiring and unsettling. Alex Ross’s evocative cover captures the moment’s weight, while the interior art by Çınar and coloring by Guru eFX bring the myth to life with rich, haunting detail.
In "Part Seven: Communing with the Smoke," the heroes are drawn into the heart of Smokeworld, where Warbird confronts Lady Lotus with urgent questions about her father’s fate. As tensions rise and the smoke thickens, Kevin Schumer and Melinda May stand at the edge of a mystery that ties past and present in ways neither expected.
In "Part Eight: Almost Positive," Warbird recounts her past to her imprisoned allies as Lady Lotus holds them captive. With the team divided and the stakes rising, Kevin Schumer and Ace must find a way to break the spell, while Dr. Strang and Melinda May lead a desperate charge through a mysterious portal in Lady Lotus' temple—uncovering the truth behind her power before it's too late.
In "Part Nine: The Forgotten War," Lady Lotus confronts the lingering echoes of her past as her daughter recalls the quiet battles fought in Siancong—where memory itself became a weapon. Through fragmented flashbacks, the legacy of Hana, Crimson Dynamo, Dr. Strang, and Carla Strang unfolds, revealing how secrets buried in time still shape the present.
In the ruins of Lady Lotus’ temple, the heroes confront a haunting wasteland littered with debris and the remnants of Warbird’s father, unraveling a mystery tied to their pasts. Guided by the enigmatic Ace, they journey to a forgotten comic book shop where they meet Threadneedle, setting off a chain of revelations that blur the line between memory and myth.
In "Part Twelve: What Happens Now," the fate of Siancong hangs in the balance as Shan-K'ang's return threatens to erase the nation entirely—yet Threadneedle's plea may offer a fragile compromise. With power shifting and the land itself reshaping, figures like Melinda May, Warbird, and Dr. Strang stand at the edge of a new era, unsure what comes next.
