In this episode of Unspoken Issues, Jesse and Chris plunge fang-first into one of the most brutal and visually arresting issues from the Ultraverse: Black September relaunch — Rune Infinity. Released in September 1995, this comic showcases twisted body horror, dual identities, and apocalyptic energy clashes, all wrapped in Kyle Hotz’s gloriously grotesque artwork and Len Kaminski’s cyber-horror storytelling.
The story centers around genetically-engineered twins, Eric and Noel — products of Aladdin’s superhuman experimentation — who now share a single monstrous body. One is a bloodthirsty predator; the other, a helpless conscience trapped inside. Their brutal psychic battle for control unfolds alongside Adam Warlock’s resurrection in a distant cocoon, linking Marvel’s cosmic legacy with the Ultraverse’s raw, chaotic energy.
