Synopsis for ""Blood Church""
Continued from last issue... With Spider-Man and Valkyrie missing after their battle with the Meteor Man, a troubled Dr. Strange looks out of allies to help him look for them. Locating the Human Torch and understanding him as one of Spider-Man's closest friends, Dr. Strange seeks out the Torch and enlists him in helping to find Valkyrie and Spider-Man. While the Human Torch goes to search the Meteor Man's last known address, Dr. Strange goes to the prison where he was held to learn more.
When the Torch arrives at Norton Fester's former apartment, he finds himself confronted by Jaramiah and his followers the Innocents of God. Jaramiah, having waited for someone to show up looking for Valkyrie, and finding the Torch suitable for his purposes knocks out the Torch with his mystical eye bolts. The Torch wakes up to find that Valkyrie is being used for a mystical ceremony that Jaramiah is conducting. Freeing himself and trying to stop it, the Torch is once more knocked out by a mystical bolt from Jaramiah.
Meanwhile, Dr. Strange's trip to the prison turns out to be a dead end when the warden won't let Strange see the Meteor Man. Leaving, Strange picks up evil magic near the city, and checks it out in his astral form. Strange is then pulled into another dimension where he finds Valkryie's soul being tormented by demons, Strange fights them off before returning to his human body.
Meanwhile, the Torch revives and frees himself, and uses his flame powers in order to prevent Jaramiah from using his followers in a sacrifice. During the battle Dr. Strange arrives, and with his superior mystical skill, easily over-powers Jaramiah and banishes him to the realm of the demons he really worshiped.
