DEFENDERS Epic Collection Volume 2 Enter The Headmen

The Defenders are back — and things are about to get weird in all the best ways! As we begin, the team confronts Nebulon and the other-dimensional Squadron Sinister, an encounter that brings Nighthawk into the fold and changes the team forever! Magneto and his Ultimate Mutant strike, the Wrecking Crew debuts, Luke Cage and Daredevil join up, and Valkyrie continues the search for answers to her fractured identity! Then, Steve Gerber takes the writing reins, injecting the series with knowing absurdity and cutting social commentary in the form of the bizarre Headmen and the bigoted Sons of the Serpent! Gerber crafted challenging stories that set the tone for the Defenders going forward — and define them even today! Written by Len Wein, Chris Claremont, and Steve Gerber. Art by Sal Buscema, Jack Abel, Klaus Janson, Dan Green, Vince Colletta, Mike Esposito, and more.
