"Into the Shadowlands"

As Shadow Demons start to influence people across the world, pushing them to make wrong choices and hurt others or themselves, the Defenders set out to find what could be the cause of the sudden rash of attacks.
But venturing into the Shadowlands proves to be more difficult than anticipated when Dormammu intervenes.
As the new ruler of the Shadowlands, he denies his realm's involvement and warns that any attempt to prove otherwise will be seen as an act of hostility. And will be dealt with as he sees fit.

The Defenders find themselves in a standoff when Dormammu refuses them access to the Shadowlands to stop the Shadow Demon invasion of the Earth Dimension.

While Doctor Strange, Clea and Jack of Hearts take a diplomatic approach to work out an agreement, Andromeda, Sersi, Hercules and Moon Knight head back to Earth to repel the invading forces.

But when one of the Defenders gets possessed by a Shadow Demon, help comes from an unexpected source: another Doctor Strange?!

"INTO THE SHADOWLANDS" Part 3

Jack of Hearts, the Master of the Shadowlands?

As his sanity slips away and he succumbs to the Shadow Surge, Clea has to referee a confrontation between the two Dr. Stranges.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Sersi and Hercules may have found a way to banish the Shadow Demons, at least temporarily. With one catch... Someone will have to make a sacrifice and act as a human barrier to the Shadowlands until the crisis is averted.

But even with a temporary solution to the invasion, the Defenders are caught unprepared when Dormammu claims that the Jack of Hearts' rise to power in the Shadowlands infringes on his Dark Dimension and threatens his own attack on Earth.
