The Order #4 (16)

In "Norrin's Rib," the Defenders enlist a mystical gambit to counter the Order by creating a female counterpart to the Silver Surfer—resulting in the sudden emergence of Ardina, born from the Surfer’s essence. With the Order now aware, the team’s plan unravels as they’re forced to flee, thrust into an unknown realm after their incursion goes awry. Written by Jo Duffy and Kurt Busiek, with art by Dan Jurgens and inks by Bob Layton, this pivotal issue sees the cover by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino capture the moment of Ardina’s creation.
