salineaYou know how much I love Misty Knight, right? Well a lot.
But that's not what I want to talk about in this first issue of Fearless Defenders.
( four pages of Fearless Defenders #1 )

Nighthawk's Brain! 6/6
Dec. 1st, 2012 08:59 pmskjamIn the previous issue, we were introduced to the new Red Guardian, Arthur Nagan was an asshole, Chondu got a makeover, and Valkyrie got arrested.
So now it's time for the final chapter of the Nighthawk's Brain saga, The Defenders #36.
Five pages of seventeen, and an ad.
( A Garden of Earthly Demise )
Your thoughts and comments, especially as this is the end of the post series?
Next time--something that isn't Seventies Marvel.

Nighthawk's Brain! 5/6
Nov. 28th, 2012 03:50 pmskjamIn the previous issue, Nebulon unveiled his plan to help humanity through Celestial Mind Control, which manages to be even skeevier than it sounds. Valkyrie voiced her objections to strip-searching, and Chondu demonstrated that being in the body of a fawn doesn;t make him harmless.
So, five pages from seventeen of "The Defenders" #35, plus a Hostess ad.
( Arthur Nagan is an asshole. )
Next time: The conclusion of the Nighthawk's Brain plotline.

Nighthawk's Brain! 4/6
Nov. 25th, 2012 10:34 pmskjamLast issue, we learned that Jack Norriss' mind is in Chondu's brain, which is in Kyle Richmond's body. Chondu's mind is in Bambi's brain and body. Kyle Richmond's mind is in his own brain, which is in a shallow dish. The other Defender's minds are in their own brains and bodies, but may not be right any more. The Headmen's HQ is in ruins, and Nebulon is back in town.
Which brings us up to The Defenders #34, five pages of seventeen (nrrgh) and dessert.
( I Think We're All Bozos In This Book! )
Next time:. Chondu gets a makeover!

Nighthawk's Brain! 3/6
Nov. 24th, 2012 10:32 pmskjamHi again!
Last issue, the Defenders learned whose brain was residing in Nighthawk's skull. Nighthawk recapped his origin, and the Defenders were knocked out by Ruby Tuesday.
Now, let's look at six pages of eighteen (and dessert) from "The Defenders" #33.
( Bambi returns! )
Next time: Nebulon's plan to save the world!

Nighthawk's Brain! 2/6
Nov. 23rd, 2012 10:06 pmskjamHello again!
In the previous issue of The Defenders, we saw Kyle (Nighthawk) Richmond be captured by the Headmen, who transplanted the brain of Chondu the Mystic into his skull. Chondu infiltrated the Defenders, but tipped his hand too early, allowing him to be captured by our heroes.
Now, issue #32. Six pages of eighteen, plus dessert (and I mean that a bit more literally this time.)
( So if your friend is acting out of character, who do you call? )
Next time--The return of Bambi!

Nighthawk's Brain! 1/6
Nov. 22nd, 2012 09:04 pmskjamHi, folks!
Given recent Spider-Man events (if you haven't already heard, you may want to come back later) I decided you folks might like to see how this sort of plotline has been handled by Marvel in the past.
In specific, the "Nighthawk's Brain" arc in "The Defenders" starting in #67.
Six pages of eighteen, plus a dessert.
( Subplots! Lots of subplots! )
Next time, more mind boggling madness!
Until then, Happy Thanksgiving!

From the Marvel Vault...
Jul. 14th, 2011 12:29 pmarbre_rieur
icon_uk already posted about the strange origin of this one. As I understand it, most FROM THE MARVEL VAULT comics are stories that for one reason or another were shelved and never printed, lost stories from Marvel's archives finally seeing the light of day. In the case of this DEFENDERS issue though, it was written so long ago that, while they still have the artwork, nobody had a copy of the original plot anymore, nor did anyone remember what it was supposed to be. Apparently, even flipping through the art didn't jog any of the original creative team's memories. So Kurt Busiek (who didn't write the original plot) basically has to come up with a new story tailored to the already completed artwork.( Four pages from DEFENDERS: FROM THE MARVEL VAULT... )
From the Marvel Vaults - The Defenders
Apr. 30th, 2011 11:25 amicon_ukFound this news over on www.busiek.com
This is the blurb to go with it
A Marvel Masterpiece from deep inside the treasure vaults can now be told! The original team of Doctor Strange, The Hulk, Silver Surfer and Namor are together again for a hidden adventure! But why was this tale lost? What happens in other dimensions stays in other dimensions, so what unspeakable secrets of the The Defenders are to be revealed? Find out at last in these pages with the illustrious words of Kurt Busiek (THE DEFENDERS, MARVELS) and the incomparable artwork of artist Mark Bagley (ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN)!
( And this is the story behind it... )

perletwomistaeff requested scans of '70s Defenders, especially Hellcat, Nighthawk and Valkyrie, as he suspected there might be some bow-chicka-wow-wow vibes going on there. Digging through my collection, I found a few issues from around the time Hellcat first joined, and, well...you guys be the judge?
( A few bits from the Scorpio saga, which - don't even ask. )
And on to the big showdown, which spills over into the next two issues. A little less than 3 pages of a 17-page story here, for them that keep track of such stuff.
Tags ahoy! char: hellcat/patsy walker, char: nick fury, char: nighthawk/kyle richmond, char: scorpio/jacob fury (new tag), char: valkyrie/brunnhilde, creator: dan green (new tag), creator: david kraft (new tag), creator: keith giffen, group: defenders, publisher: marvel comics, title: defenders
Meanwhile, at Defenders HQ...
Mar. 25th, 2010 07:36 pms0mnambulanceIceman's rowdy college years did little to prepare him for the "rigors" he would face as a Defender.
The Defenders were never a very successful super-team...because they were always so terribly exhausted from all of their superfrolicking. Say it with me, s_d: "Context is for the ________."

volksjager.insanejournal.comI always like the Defenders it was an offbeat book from Marvels bronze age. It didn't have alot of big names in it so they could be free with the interaction and turn up the drama. I'd like to see the book come back as a non canon experience set in a retro 1983 ( a true bronze age book)taking advantage of history. Sort of like the retro Sentry book , but more serious :)
...and they had great villains like Egghead and the headmen !
