The big tease at the end of 2019's finally ha🎃s an answer - the return of Marvel Comics' Defenders.

Writer Al Ewing and artist Jaꦅvier Rodríguez are reviving the Defenders team🃏 for a five-issue series debuting this August. From the looks of the cover, this series' line-up appears to be Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, Red She-Hulk, the Masked Raider, and Cloud.

"Defenders is something I've been turning over in ♏my head since Marvel Comics #1000. Now it's finally here - and Javier Rodrigue🧸z is joining me, with all the power at his command and all the artistic freedom I can give him!" Ewing tells Newsarama. "When you ride with the Defenders - you're on the trip of a lifetime!"

Álvaro López is inking a portion of Defenders #1, but otherwise all fౠive issues of Defenders will be penciled, inked, and colored all by Javier Rodríguez. Wil Moss and Sarah Brunstad aꦜre editing Defenders, with veteran Marvel letterer Joe Caramagna expected to round out the team.

"When existence itself faces extraordinary threats, it needs an extraordinary defense! That's when you call...the Defenders!" reads Marvel's description of Defenders #1. "Doctor Strange and the Masked Raid▨er take a non-team of Marvel's weirdest, wildest heroes on a mission that will uncover the hidden architecture of reality itself! 

"This cosmos wa꧟s 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!"

Ewing 🦩wrote some of the '' mini-event back in 2018, and Rodríguez previously drew Strange in the un꧙derrated . The two of them worked together on the Marvel cosmic series .

Defenders #1 (of 5) goes o🦋n sale on August 11. Look for ဣMarvel's full August 2021 schedule later this week on Newsarama.
