Description
A mind-bending new take on Marvel’s classic non-team!
When existence itself faces extraordinary threats, it needs an extraordinary defense! That’s when you call...the Defenders! Doctor Strange and the Masked Raider gather a non-team of Marvel’s weirdest, wildest heroes for a mission that will uncover the hidden architecture of reality itself! This cosmos was not the first to exist — but if the Defenders can’t track Marvel’s oldest villain through the deepest trenches of time, it might be the last! The group must travel to the long-extinct previous cosmos, the birthplace of Galactus — but the Devourer is not the man they remember. Meet Taaia, Omnimax and more as Marvel history expands and Strange’s makeshift Defenders face extreme jeopardy! But following the death of the Sorcerer Supreme, who will rise to defend everything again on an incredible journey all the way back to the Second Cosmos? Would you believe, Loki?! Featuring the long-awaited return of the Beyonder — and the mystery of the Masked Raider!
