With several new enemies aggressively pursuing her to extort and capitalize on her newfound abilities, Lex is forced to fight for her life and save those she loves from certain death.
* Aspen has teamed up with comiXology to offer large-scale omnibus editions of flagship series Fathom, Soulfire and Executive Assistant: Iris.
