Defenders #1

djotaku's Defenders #1 - Breaker of Worlds Part 1: I Hate Myself And Want To Die review

This is even more awesome than I thought it'd be

I have no other experience with Matt Fraction other than Marvel Point One so I had no idea what I was getting into. I decided to pick up this issue because it has Namor in it and because it supposedly has something to do with a secret at the Heart of the Marvel Universe.But it will go on my pull list because I love pretty much everything about this issue.

I love that there are strange notes at the bottom of each of the pages. I like the opening scene with Dr Strange. I LOVE the dialog. And I love the fact that we get a look at everyone's internal monologues. I don't know if things will continue this way and I feel there's a big chance I could end up disappointed if the next issue doesn't live up to this one, but I'm very excited to see what comes in issue #2.

I loved this issue so much that I chose if for this week's Comic POW!

It was interesting to see all these characters drawn in the same way, with the same...

As of late, I've earnestly began to question just how much I trust Matt Fraction to give us a good story. Yes, Hawkeye is fantastic, but, beyond that, I've had a hard time finding something of his that has resonated with me. So, with this Marvel Digital Flash Sale (all works of Matt Fraction), I thought I'd give The Defenders a go; it's an interesting team and a really cool art style to work with. However, the characterization is so bland and out of character that I could hardly make it through...
