The King and Queen of Diamonds are both dead and the Jack ascends to the throne with the Queen of Spades by his side. The King of Spades calls for his army...only, he has none. Foul play is suspected as the Aces are called to return to their respective kingdoms and prepare for battle. The Clubs decide to launch an all-out assault on the Diamonds while their kingdom is in disarray. All this in a story titled "The King is dead, long live the Jack!"
