Nighthawk has been captured by the Headmen. Chondu the Mystics brain has been put in Nighthawk’s body. Dr Strange discovers this and switches Jack Norris’s soul into Nighthawk’s body and Chondu’s into a fawn that the Hulk had been protecting.
Meanwhile red alien fish type creatures are abducting humans and animals alike, including the young fawn who Chondu’s spirit inhabits.
Thinking that Nighthawk is still Chondu the Headmen render Dr Strange, Hulk and Valkyrie unconscious. They wake up and a battle ensues and Jack Norris, in Nighthawk’s body, grabs Nighthawks brain which is in a bowl of solution. Believing it to be Chondu, Dr Nagan does not give chase.
Nighthawk, and brain, is captured by the alien fishmen and is confronted by their leader Nebulon “ the Celestial Man”. Our story ends.
Rating: 7/10
