THE “NON-TEAM” OF THE SEVENTIES HITS MASTERWORKS!
Leap into the adventures of the dynamic Defenders, comics’ greatest non-team! Bonded in a mutual mission are the mightiest misfits in the Marvel U.: The Incredible Hulk, the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer. But these warriors three don’t rest on bylaws and butlers: they, along with the Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Strange, and the defiant Valkyrie, come together only in moments of utmost crisis.
Facing enemies from across the incomprehensible divide, the Defenders square off against Dormammu, the Nameless One, the Enchantress, and a dark menace from Dr. Strange’s past – the sorcerer Cyrus Black. It’s not just baddies they do battle with, though. In a prelude to the epic Avengers/Defenders War, Hulk, Namor and the Silver Surfer go head-to-head with the mighty Avengers in a fight that pits hero against hero like none other!
