Nightstalkers #9
In "Crossing the Rubicon," the Nightstalkers are pushed to their limits as tensions flare between Hannibal, Blade, and Frank over whether to destroy Morbius—one of "the nine." With Morbius captured by the enigmatic Stonecold and Linda struggling to control the deadly "perpetual motion wheel," the team fractures under pressure. Meanwhile, Samantha Regent’s fateful letter remains unread, and Blade makes a solitary vow to confront Richie Regent’s troubles on his own. Written by D. G. Chichester and illustrated by Mark Pacella, with inks by Don Heck and colors by John Kalisz, this pivotal issue sees the team’s unity tested in ways that won’t soon be forgotten—cover by Mark Pacella and Dan Panosian.
