HELLCAT AND MOON KNIGHT MAKE THE SCENE IN THE SIXTH DEFENDERS MASTERWORKS!
The Defenders, Marvel’s “non-team” with an ever-changing roster, brings together its most famous members — Doctor Strange, the Hulk, the Sub-Mariner — with new comrades — Red Guardian, Moon Knight, Nick Fury — and fan-favorites — Luke Cage, Hellcat, Valkyrie, Nighthawk — and the result is nothing short of classic! The creative team of Kraft and Giffen jump into the series feet first and spin some of the Defenders greatest adventures: Doctor Strange, possessed by the Red Rajah, becomes a mystic threat to the entire universe! Scorpio and his Zodiac launch a kidnapping conspiracy involving S.H.I.E.L.D. Valkyrie struggles to reclaim her life. Also featuring an all-new Emissaries of Evil, the origin of the Red Guardian, Atlantean mega-monsters, and the debut of Lunatik.
