“Dinner Hour [Missing in Action Part 2]”

In "Dinner Hour [Missing in Action Part 2]," Peter David and Rich Buckler deliver a tense, character-driven chapter where Black Cat’s desperate attempt to confront Dr. Strange ends in supernatural rebuff as his sanctum refuses her entry. Meanwhile, Alexander grapples with the aftermath of his power’s devastating consequence, Robbie faces the awkward reality of Randy’s return with a white wife, and Black Cat returns to her apartment only to find the Foreigner has taken up residence—leading to an unexpected truce between two very different kinds of outsiders. The cover by Rich Buckler and Joe Rubinstein captures the moment’s intensity, while the layered inks and bold colors bring the emotional stakes to life.
