Defenders

Marvel’s 2012–2013 Defenders run, written primarily by Matt Fraction and Jon Moisan, reimagines the classic non-team as a cosmic-tinged ensemble. With art by Terry Dodson, Mike Norton, and Jamie McKelvie, the series pits Stephen Strange, Namor, Silver Surfer, and Iron Fist against reality-bending threats that demand their unique, often clashing, perspectives. This twelve-issue saga stands out for its blend of street-level mysticism and cosmic grandeur, offering a fresh, character-driven take on a beloved Marvel concept.
