Solicit Synopsis

“THE BEST DEFENSE” FINALE!

• 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.
