I never could get passed the art to appraise the stories.Jason Shayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326506125878276176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-87321356864473198252012-10-19T16:18:31.323-04:002012-10-19T16:18:31.323-04:00This was when I was just starting to read comics, ...This was when I was just starting to read comics, and I loved the "LOOK" of the NEW Defenders......but the stories and villains sucked. I guess Mad-dog and Professor Power were OK (again, their costumes were cool...but they were definitely bottom of the barrel villains), and Cloud, Manslaughter, and Interloper (?wtf?) were lame as hell.<br /><br />But they looked so cool on covers and in panels together<br />Beast--blue<br />Angel--red<br />Iceman--white<br />Gargoyle--orange (and purple)<br />Moondragon--green (bald AND sexy?? this blew my <br /> 10-year old mind)<br />Valkyrie-- hot Viking chick (awesome, right?)<br /><br />the chemistry of the former X-men was cool, and funny, furry BeaST IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE Marvel character---but the stories were soooo lame. I think one storyline involved slimey, green aliens being born from cows...but I guess the 80s Defenders stuff was always pretty silly.<br />Still, I love those covers.<br /><br />starfoxxx<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
