THE DEBUT OF THE DEADLY MORIDUN!
Doctor Strange and his misfit crew land in a world of dark, primal magic - where our world's master of the mystic arts is just a magical morsel for countless hungry sorcerers. The most powerful entity on this plane, the maker of magic itself, already knows the Defenders and their mission. Their paltry abilities mean nothing to him, save one: The power to move between cosmos. All of existence lies vulnerable as the Defenders find themselves outmatched!

Ewing and Rodriguez continue to flourish with this offbeat tale, with a story that could become one of those definitive arcs that help showcase how good a great comic can be. Im hard pressed to find anything less than perfection when describing this book. This team has crafted a story all the earmarks to become a classic in the making. Read Full Review

Ewing and Rodriguez are perfect for this trippy story! Very enjoyable!
Great art, trippy story.
What an extremely weird book! But it's the good kind of weird, and if they keep this up, they might last as long as the original Defenders series (152 issues). And I love, love, LOVE Taaia, so keep her around!
Only... no Dollar Bill this time... please no Dollar Bill! :D
This is a lot of fun. I like this a lot.
I like this a lot. Hope it becomes either an ongoing, or (even better) a series of mini-series - that way they could keep Javier Rodriguez on every story.
The Defenders' run through the 5th cosmos passes quickly with an easy victory over Mor-I-Dun. Art and prose both really tickled my fancy this time around; the Harpy's point of view delivered exactly the sort of insight I was looking for. I can only hope that the next POV character agrees with me too.
If Snyder’s Batman is metal, Ewing’s Defenders are prog rock.
Excessively weird, in a great way, and extremely vague to the point of almost sometimes hard to follow.
Great art, silly story.
