Netflix's The Defenders doesn't debut until August 18, when the streaming empire airs an eight-episode series gathering Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) into a dynamic crimefighting force.

To keep the marketing fires burning, Marvel is releasing a new The Defenders comic series starting June 13, written by the Eisner Award-winning Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil) with art and cover by David Marquez (Invincible Iron-Man, All-New X-Men).

Here's the solicitation synopsis:

Daredevil! Luke Cage! Jessica Jones! Iron Fist! Individually, these four heroes have been on the front lines of the battle to keep the streets of the city safe and secure! But now, with a deadly enemy from the dim past making a major move to unite the underworld, they will need to become more — they will need to become DEFENDERS! Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez unite to bring you the next great super-team, in the tradition of NEW AVENGERS!​
