Doctor Strange, trying desperately to relax with Clea, fields a "catch up" call from the Avengers, followed by Nighthawk's appearance in the early hours - a mystery, a possible supernatural murder! It seems a research lab is haunted by ghosts, and the people who work there are doing their bidding. But the explanation is more mundane - the villain Death-Stalker is trying to augment his might with stolen technology. How will he fare against Doctor Strange? That depends on whether Doc can withstand his icy death touch!
