I didn’t buy the first issue of the new series (which shipped today) but I almost did. I own every other incarnation of the Marvel’s former “non-team” and may eventually buy the trade if I hear good things about it in the meantime. So here’s your chance to tell me what a mistake I’m making and convince me to give it a try.

I'm getting it (eventually) but a Defenders team with no Hulk? Doesn't seem right.
It's the non-Defenders Defenders. Very meta!

The story has some potential, but hasn't reached it yet. I won't really have an impression until a couple more issues come out.
I will say that there is a reason for the Hulk's non-involvement, however. It is addressed in the story.
On a side-note: (a mean-sprited one at that) after I looked through the freebie intro comic to this Defenders series, I flipped it over and there was a few pages on the new Cable Vs the Avengers.
When I saw it would be written by Jeph Loeb, I actually physically winced while standing in the shop.
That happens every time I see the word "Cable" in the title of a comic! :-(
I'm no fan of Cable, to put it mildly. I think it was the combination of that character and that writer which produced such a physical reaction in me.
A perfect storm...
I liked it a great deal, and I found it very reminiscent of 70s-style books.
I LOVED the retro ads at the bottom of the pages.
The retro ads are a great idea.
I passed on it, but I do that for most Marvel these days. I really only have the patience to wallow in one continuity at a time these days, even if there's lovely art by the Dodsons involved...
...House ads ? Real ads ? Parodies ?
