Review/plot:
In this unreadable mess, Moribus goes to Dr. Strange's house, pretending that Modred betrayed the other group of Midnight Sons. Ghost Rider is not buying it.

But inviting Morbius, who is housing a Lilin called Bloodthirst, into his house, Dr. Strange has weakened his barrier, allowing other Lilin to enter starting with Martine Bancroft.

In the messy, chaotic fight that follows, Morbius, with Dr. Strange's help, struggles against Bloodthirst and seemingly regains control. Strange then dumbly sends Morbius to join the others in the fight against the Lilin, except of course they don't know that he's been cured so it just results in a lot of infighting. Meanwhile, Strange prepares to deal with the overall assault on his home.

Garbage. But i do like this ape thing.

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: This is part five of Siege of Darkness. Part six is in Marvel Comics Presents #144. (The next issue blurb incorrectly points to #145 and Doctor Strange #61. Which is wrong on both counts: Doctor Strange #60 is actually what comes after Presents #144..

References:

• Frank Drake says that he never should have given Morbius the benefit of the doubt in Nightstalkers #8-9 and Morbius #11.
  
• Dr. Strange failed to detect Bloodthirst in Morbius #13.
