Original solicitation: "'DEAD WRONG' Part 2 of 6. The kids are back in town, and LA will never be the same. They've set up new digs in Malibu, but will they be able to keep it from being destroyed the first day?

All this from comic legend Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise, Echo) and superstar Humberto Ramos (X-MEN, SPIDER-MAN)!"
A fight with the Majesdanians totally wrecks the Malibu house. Nico casts a scatter spell that disperses the Majesdanians around the world. The kids keep one as a hostage and discover why the Majesdanians are hunting Karolina - they hold her responsible for the destruction of Majesdane.
