The Defenders #122

Don Perlin and Brent Anderson pack this August 1983 issue with an arresting lineup: a mysterious purple-clad figure stands with their back to us, facing a surge of Defenders pouring through a blazing portal — Doctor Strange swooping in his red Cloak of Levitation, the Hulk crouching at the ready, a warrior riding a winged Pegasus, a silver-skinned figure striding forward, a blue Beast lunging low, and a bat-winged golden figure on the left. It's a genuinely dynamic composition that makes the team feel both vast and purposeful, with the title "Things to Come!" promising plenty of J. M. DeMatteis storytelling ahead.
