But on the night of a party, Noah is hypnotized and awakes the next morning to some subtle changes: his mother has a scar on her face that wasn't there before; his old dog, who once walked with a limp, is suddenly lithe; his best friend, a lifelong DC Comics disciple, now rotates in the Marvel universe.
