DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH DARK DESTINY #2 (OF 4)

TRIAL BY FLASH! In Defenders of the Earth Dark Destiny #2 (of 4), the fallout from Ming’s defeat reshapes Mongo as rival factions collide—and all converge on the Defenders as the scapegoats. Written by Dan DiDio with art by Alex Sanchez and a cover by Marco Santucci, this second chapter sustains a brisk, pulp-infused blend of superhero action and borrowed sci-fi spectacle. Flash Gordon is drawn into a harsh courtroom-style showdown that becomes a brutal trial by combat, while Rick Gordon and his friends’ search for Dale Arden is interrupted by a menacing Weather Demon attack. The issue deepens character ties, expands the Defenders’ dynamic, and pushes the ongoing arc further into the classic property’s mythos. With bold visuals and kinetic storytelling, it balances personal stakes, spacefaring conflict, and the enduring call of heroism across the cosmos.
