    Flashback: Walter explains to Heather that he as Wanda has no access to his fortune. Broke, Alpha Flight breaks up, taking their frustrations out on nosy reporters. Kara, Laura, and Goblyn go to live with Mrs. Killgrave, who receives a telegram that her husband was killed (in the Emperor Doom graphic novel). Kara goes to the grave and tries to resurrect him, to no apparent effect.

    At an archaeological dig in the Yukon, Elizabeth senses a menace.

      It was clearly part of the post-Sandman horror phase.

      Which isn't to detract from it; yep, it is a great issue.
