It is beginning to look a lot like Marvel Comics is rebooting the Defenders as they’ve revealed throughout the day teasers for a variety of heroes. The only text to go with the teasers says, “The Best Defense” and the team is composed of classic Defenders heroes.
In the latest tease Marvel revealed Doctor Strange who followed Namor, Silver Surfer, and Hulk (who looks very much like the newer Immortal Hulk version from Al Ewing’s series).
Take a peek at all of the teasers below:
