In this episode of Unspoken Issues, Jesse and Chris dive into Night Man #Infinity, a pivotal installment from the Ultraverse that collides with the wider Marvel multiverse during the dramatic Black September event. Published in 1995 and written by legendary comics scribe Steve Englehart, this issue pits two versions of Night Man against each other in a mystical, reality-fracturing confrontation with the sorceress Rhiannon at the center. 

The hosts break down the story's intense themes of duality, morality, and identity as “Good Night Man” and “Bad Night Man” wrestle with their own nature and the seductive pull of power. As the battle escalates at Stonehenge—complete with Celtic rituals, spectral beasts, and even the horned god Cernunnos—one Night Man is cast into the Marvel Universe while the other remains, altered and mysterious. Jesse and Chris dissect the twist ending and how it tees up the transition to Night Man/Wolverine.

You’ll also get background on Steve Englehart’s prolific comic legacy, artist Dean Zachary’s clean storytelling style, and how this issue fits into the larger tapestry of the Ultraverse. If you’ve ever wondered which Night Man is “real” or just want to hear about mystical blade fights, this episode has all the answers—and even a shoutout to Bone Claw Wolverine (nose intact!).
