"Final Encounter!" featuring Nick Fury.
Nick Fury takes a terrible beating from Baron Strucker, wielding the Satan's Claw, but through force-of-will, manages to survive and strip the gauntlet from Strucker. He manages to switch identities with Baron Strucker, with the use of the machine which changes the identity of the Supreme HYDRA. This gives Fury time to escape with Laura Brown. The Death Spore bomb that HYDRA had set on the SHIELD Helicarrier detonates on HYDRA Island, as Fury had brought it with him when he stowed away on Strucker's ship.

"The Sands of Death" featuring Dr. Strange.
The Ancient One is dead, his power now a part of Doctor Strange. Strange stands in the presence of an omnipotent Living Tribunal, who has given the Earth a death sentence. Strange's cloak of levitation is ablaze from his fight with Zom. The Living Tribunal makes Strange aware of how his cutting of Zom's top-knot unleashed black magic into thousands of practitioners throughout the world. He plans to destroy the world in order to prevent the evil from growing. Strange bargains with him for a chance to reverse the damage himself, and the Tribunal sets a deadline before he acts.
