Defenders: The Coming of the Defenders #1
"The Day of the Defenders!" kicks off with a chilling twist: an alien conqueror, Xemnu, manipulates humanity through a children’s TV show, using mind control to spread his influence. As the world teeters on the edge of submission, the Defenders—united by necessity—must rise to confront a threat that’s already inside every home. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Ross Andru with inks by Bill Everett, the issue’s bold visuals are matched by Neal Adams’ striking cover.
