Defenders, The (1972 series) #10

This story follows on from AVENGERS (1963) #117

Chapter 9 - The Hulk walks through Los Angeles following the mystic directions planted in his head by Dr. Strange. These directions lead the Hulk right to one of the Evil Eye components. Unfortunately the Mighty Thor arrives to stop him. It isn't long before the two magnificent titans are locked in destructive combat until they are given pause by the arrival of the rest of the Defenders and the Avengers who now stand united, aware that they have all been used as pawns.

In chapter 10, it is shown how the members of the two titanic teams were made aware of their duo deceit by villains Loki and Dormammu. When the Hulk reluctantly hands over the Evil Eye component that he had secured, Asti, the all-seeing servant of Dormammu, swoops down out of nowhere and consumes the components of the Evil Eye. This mystic messenger manages to evade the combined efforts of all the heroes, taking the Evil Eye to Dormammu. Next, the Los Angeles landscape begins to transform into an alien landscape even as humans are transformed into alien creatures. Dormammu finally appears, boasting that the earth will now mirror his own devilish dimension in appearance. The chapter ends with the mystical and diabolic menace of Dormammu facing off against the combined might of the Defenders and the Avengers.
