Spécial Strange #86
"Chaude alerte" delivers a gripping chapter in the Warriors' journey, as the team ventures to Japan at the home of Mariko Yashida, seeking answers about the mysterious connection between the Yakuza and the Taylor Foundation. With art by Mark Bagley and inks by Larry Mahlstedt and Don Hudson, the story unfolds with intensity as the Warriors are ambushed by Tatsu'o’s Cybersamurai, leading to a pivotal moment when Thrasher demands answers—and ultimately walks away, dissolving the team. The fallout hits close to home when Vance, back in the States, faces brutal consequences after defending himself from his father’s abuse, culminating in his arrest. Jim Lee’s dynamic cover captures the tension, while Fabian Nicieza’s writing keeps the stakes high and the momentum relentless.
