Defenders of the Earth: Dark Destiny Sneak Peek

Ahead of its December 10th release date, Mad Cave Studios dropped a sneak peek at art for Defenders of the Earth: Dark Destiny, the follow-up to their Defenders of the Earth 8-issue series. You can take a look at the art, created by Juancho! Velez, below.

Defenders of the Earth Dark Destiny releases December 10th, 2025.

Synopsis: "Flash Gordon! The Phantom! Mandrake the Magician! Lothar!

Mongo is a shattered empire—and it’s at least partly Flash Gordon’s fault. The Defenders of the Earth may have saved their home planet, but Mongo paid a hefty price for Ming the Merciless’s games. Now the tolls come due—and it’s the Defenders who will pay it!"

This new series will be written by Dan Didio, with art by Alex Sanchez, colors by Juancho! Velez, and letters by Carlos M. Mangual.

At Chronicle Chamber, we reviewed each issue of the previous series, as well as discussed the storyline as a whole on X-Band: The Phantom Podcast.
