⭐ Plot/Synopsis (Flip Side — Code: Blue Backup Story):

This edition contains a full second story that is not present in the standard edition.
The flip side features a Code: Blue adventure focused on New York City’s elite police unit trained to deal with superhuman threats.

This backup story follows members of the team as they respond to a powered disturbance, showcasing their tactical approach, internal team dynamics, and the gritty reality of operating in a world filled with gods, mutants, and supernatural threats.
It expands the street-level Marvel Universe and ties into the environment surrounding Thunderstrike without being a direct continuation of the main plot.
