In death, Strange was put to work by Death herself as The Harvestman. It was his job to make sure that the dead stayed dead, which put him at odds with The Blasphemy Cartel, which was resurrecting old heroes as revenants. For his work, Death promised to return him to life. He would eventually be found out by Clea, who had been tracking resurrections hoping for his return.
With a lead from Pandora Peters, Clea and Stephen learn the The Blasphemy Cartel is a former strike team of W.A.N.D. using resources they stole during the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Together, they raided the old WAND facility and were met with impressive force.
