Rom encounters his first superhero since coming to Earth; unfortunately, Jack of Hearts thinks the spaceknight is a killer! A generally solid issue from Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema gets bogged down by back story and exposition.

Called by a dream, Clea joins the sisterhood of Sibyls in an effort to thwart the Black Oracle prophecy. A pair of stories – including a backup with stunning art from Michael Golden and P. Craig Russell – demonstrate the underlying problem with the Doctor Strange/Clea relationship.
