Synopsis for "A Round with the Ringer!"
Following their battle with Scorpio, the Defenders bid farewell to Moon Knight, and Jack Norriss is offered a job working for SHIELD by Nick Fury. While in Russia, Tani is taken to a secret project known only as Sergei. While Valkyrie begins to establish a new life for herself by starting college she meets Dollar Bill and Ledge. While a new villain known as Ringer tries to rob a bank bringing him into conflict with Nighthawk.
