- Synopsis
- The Defenders and their new allies are sent to the planet Yann, where they meet Dr. Christopher Ganyrog, the planet’s Scientist Supreme, and Romantic Objective Pamela. There, they rest and recuperate from their most recent battle with the Order. They learn that the Curse is just a ways to a means for Yandroth to destroy Yann via the violence used by the Order on Earth. Meanwhile, Earth’s heroes gather together for an all-out war on the Order.
Indexer Notes
Dr. Christopher Ganyrog and Romantic Objective Pamela are an homage to Adam Strange and his wife Alanna (from the planet Rann), space adventurers from DC Comics. The Geuliscwarz system, where the planet Yann is located, is a tribute to Julius Schwartz, a long-time editor at DC.
