Defenders: The Best Defense #1
The lost Atlanteans. The Train. The bedsheet man. Dead Steve. The Stock Exchange of Souls. Trust us, it all makes sense. In fact, it makes enough sense to destroy our entire solar system…unless four very different heroes can come together to stop it.
Characters: Doctor Strange, Galactus, Hulk, Mephisto, Namor, Silver Surfer
