DEFENDERS VARIANT COVER BY Jamal Campbell
• Join Chip (Zdarsky) and Joe (Quinones) as they say goodbye to Howard in a Very Special Issue that is still priced as a Regular Issue!

• Guest-starring Spider-Man, probably.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Can’t believe this series is ending and actually going to stay ended. How many issues did Zdarsky write?
