The Defenders Saga
From Hell's Kitchen to the modern MCU, New York's streets never truly went quiet.
While the Avengers faced cosmic threats, another corner of New York belonged to heroes working much closer to the ground. This saga is defined by crime, corruption, revenge, faith, and the neighborhoods they refused to abandon.
