Six-issue limited series written by Kurt Busiek and Jo Duffy. Art by Matt Haley, Dan Panosian, Chris Batista, Dan Jurgens, Bob Layton, Ivan Reis & Jose Pimentel. Covers by Carlos Pacheco & Jesus Merino.
Plagued by a curse which draws them together in times of crisis, the original Defenders (The Hulk, Dr. Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer) decide to take matters into their own hands, by becoming the rulers of the Earth! Naturally, there are objections: not just the billions being ruled, but armies, governments, and many former allies, including the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Avengers and the other Defenders!
