The Order #6 (18)

In "Out of Order," the Order's brutal war with Earth's Assembled Heroes is thrown into chaos when a mysterious force from the planet Yann intervenes—bringing with them The Defenders, Namorita, She-Hulk, Clea, Ardina, Dr. Christopher Ganyrog, Romantic Objective Pamela, and the Masters of the Mental Arts. Written by Jo Duffy and Kurt Busiek, with art by Matt Haley and inks by Dan Panosian, this pivotal 2002 issue sees the Order’s female counterparts, who have been harboring their core psyches, step forward to block the onslaught—leading to a shocking unraveling of Yandroth’s control. The cover, by Carlos Pacheco and Jesús Merino, captures the moment of confrontation with dramatic intensity.
