THE ORIGINAL DEFENDERS REUNITE AND THE HULK GOES HOME WITH HELLCAT!

One of the most offbeat storylines of the ’70s is completed in The Defenders: At last…the Omega Saga! Then, the return of the original Defenders! Hulk, Doctor Strange and Sub-Mariner journey to Tunnelworld, a secret realm savaged by war. Led by the winged Aeroika, the trio prepare for battle against the Unnamable, but one of their own has already been compromised! The ladies of the Defenders have things handled with Fem-Force and Mutant Force—until Mandrill makes the scene! Nighthawk is in trouble with the FBI, while Patsy Walker’s life is turned upside down by tragedy. Atlanteans have stolen Wakandan tech, and Black Panther is not going to put up with that! It’s Namor vs. T’Challa in a Battle Royal!
