This is it! The final confrontation between Ba’al and Wolverine!

On the way to the prince’s castle, Archie Corrigan, Captain Tai, Patch (in his Madripoor disguise of Wolverine) and O’Donnell are ambushed by the followers of Ba’al. Patch tricks the vampires into dragging him into the woods, where he can dispose of them quickly, and separate from the group so he can make it to the castle quicker. In the castle, Jessica Drew is trying to explain to the Prince of Madripoor how dangerous his “guest,” Ba’al, is. However, the prince disbelieves her story, especially once Ba’al offers the prince immortality in payment of the last gem. In the streets of Madripoor, Burt is doing all he can to figure out where Jessica has gone.
