The Defenders, Marvel's weirdest non-team, have a new roster, a new headquarters, a new leader - they've evolved into a New Defenders! Their adventures are some of the most far-out trips Marvel has ever presented, but what more could you expect from a group consisting of a valkyrie, a gargoyle, a cosmic psychic, a sentient cloud and a pair of ex-X-Men? Together they'll take on an all-new Secret Empire, killer nuclear spores in human form, the deadly Manslaughter and towering disembodied demons! Guest-starring Nick Fury, Odin, the New Mutants and more! Also featuring two miniseries starring the Defenders' Iceman and Beast in solo action - plus rare articles from Marvel's 1980s behind-the-scenes magazine, MARVEL AGE! COLLECTING: DEFENDERS (1972) 126-137; ICEMAN (1984) 1-4; BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1984) 1-4
