Description
Llan the Sorcerer tries to open the Eye of the World, a.k.a. the Gateway of Night, and recalls how the last Talisman defeated him so many thousands of years ago. Vindicator and Diamond Lil continue to battle Nekra and Scorpion, and soon, Asp and Owl arrive, turning the tide. Box and Sasquatch try to get Talisman to let them help their friends, and after realizing that she may have failed, Talisman sends them to help. However, Gamma Flight have arrived, and they also take on the American villains, and Vindicator realizes that Nekra and the others are acting as if they are being influenced by an outside force - the Sorcerer! She convinces the sorceress Witchfire to search for any signs of the Sorcerer and she does, and the Sorcerer eventually cuts the strings of the puppets, and the American villains fall. With Box and Sasquatch arriving, Gamma Flight them places Alpha Flight and Diamond Lil under arrest. The Sorcerer’s plan worked, as the violence that has been occurring was the key to opening the Eye of the World - and the real violence is about to begin!
