First Wave #[nn]

In the heart of the Amazon, Johnny Littlejohn is wounded by a mechanical foe, while in New York, Doc Savage confronts a cryptic mystery at his father’s grave—only to find the coffin empty, filled instead with gold dust stamped with red hands. Meanwhile, in Wildwood Cemetery, The Spirit is drawn into a midnight meeting, and across the globe, John Sunlight begins to move. As Anton Colossi orders a village destroyed for sheltering Johnny, who’s been rescued by the mysterious Rima, The Spirit’s path collides with the Blackhawks in a sudden, tense clash.

In "First Wave Book Two," the fate of the Spirit hangs in the balance as the Blackhawks, led by a ruthless new faction, hunt him through the ruins of Hildago and the skybound city of Neolantis. With Monk and Ham urging the Avenger to don a disguise, and Doc Savage making a dramatic entrance to break the siege, the stakes rise as Ebony is taken hostage and the truth behind the coffin begins to unravel.

In "First Wave Book Three," John Sunlight swims through a storm-laden night as chaos erupts across the city—Dolan’s enforcers clash with the Spirit, who commandeers an autogyro in mid-air. Batman, battered and hunted, narrowly escapes a deadly ambush by the Right Red Hand cult, only to be rescued by the Avenger, who leads him to Hildago, where Colossi’s robot holds a captive Johnny. Meanwhile, Doc breaks free from jail via a Blackhawk jet, and Ebony is sent on a grim mission to unearth a missing coffin—just as the city’s hidden war begins to surface.

In the shadowed streets of Hildago and the sky-piercing towers of the floating city Neolatis, the fate of Doc Savage hangs in the balance as the Right Red Hand cult prepares a moonlit sacrifice on an ancient Aztec temple. With the Spirit and Renny racing to find Johnny, and Bruce Wayne navigating the secrets of Neolatis, the stakes rise as the Avenger, Monk, and Ham fight off an ambush in New York—just as the Batman, drawn by a cryptic clue, swoops in from the sky.

In "First Wave Book Five," Blackhawk Wu Cheng is felled by a rogue robot as the fight for Neolantis escalates. With Doc and Batman evading the Right Red Hand cultists, they plunge into the city’s heart, where Renny races to secure a vital computer disk while Spirit and Rima are taken. Meanwhile, in New York, The Avenger infiltrates John Sunlight’s hidden lab, uncovering horrifying experiments—only to be captured alongside Monk, Ham, and Tom. As the tide of conflict rises, Doc pushes toward Neolantis’s core, facing Colissi’s twisted creations: mutated iguanas and a relentless robot, all guarding a terrifying secret—the world-ending power of a tsunami machine.

In the crumbling city of Neolantis, Doc faces the final reckoning as he confronts a mindless cyborg and battles a colossal iguana, while Johnny, Wu Cheng, and Rima fight to survive the chaos. With a tsunami reversed toward the city and Batman ambushing Colossi, the fate of Neolantis hangs in the balance as escape pods launch and desperate choices are made. In New York, John Sunlight’s twisted plan collapses—yet he lets his enemies go, leaving behind only the echoes of a fallen dream.
