The Defenders #138

This December 1984 issue of The New Defenders puts the whole team front and center in a dynamic rush of action, with Angel leading the charge alongside Beast, Iceman, Valkyrie (sword drawn), a green-costumed woman, and a chrome-skinned figure — all surging forward against a massive, snarling orange creature looming behind them. The corner box teases additional faces, hinting at an even fuller cast waiting inside. Cover art by Chris Warner delivers a confident ensemble shot that captures the team's energy perfectly.
