Stories

  • Swarm Song · 22 pages

    The Defenders discover that Macabre and her cohorts are actually members of a viral collective from another dimension who have been turning the homeless of Phoenix, Arizona younger to carry out their wishes. When Dr. Strange arrives to help, the team pools their own collective strength to allow him to send the villains back where they belong.
