DEFENDERS...No More?!  It sure looks like it, as Iron Man shuts down New Jersey's Initiative team...and Nighthawk's dreams of redemption.  But when the diabolical U-MAN threatens humanity, Nighthawk finds the best Defenders money can buy:  Paladin, Junta and Atlas!  Meanwhile, what role does DAMIEN HELLSTROM play?  And who has he sought out to advise him in his journey? A strange connection to the Defenders' past appears as the must-have super hero team book of '08 continues!
