On the East Coast of the USA, Attuma, now Nerkkod, Breaker
of Oceans, has assembled his army to conquer the surface world when he is
confronted by the new Defenders (Namor, Doctor Strange, Loa, Lyra the Savage
She-Hulk, Silver Surfer). Namor calls on him to surrender and Attuma responds
by opening gushers on the land and ordering his men to attack. Lyra and Loa do
a fastball special which allows Loa to use her powers to destroy a giant war
machine. (“Eat your heart out, Wolverine!”) But while Attuma wields the hammer
he is unbeatable. Reinforcements arrive: (almost) every past member of any Defenders
team summoned by Dr. Strange. For some added advantage, Strange casts a spell
blacking out the enemies’ glass helmets. Namor, his fears having dissipated,
attacks Attuma with everything he’s got, separating him from his hammer. Loa
burns off the villain’s right hand to keep him from recovering it while the
others thump on him. Attuma throws them off and summons the hammer to him which
restores his missing hand; he then conjures up a waterspout and vanishes….
Namor thanks his allies for their aid but Strange knows that
there is more to be done if the whole world is to be saved….
