I thought it was just okay, but the ending pissed off a lot of people

>>94767166
>THAT Defenders series
Man fuck you, I liked it.

Oh, and it does have some fairly dumb moments too, but that's par of the course with Marvel!Fraction

That's okay, I didn't hate it myself

>>94767283
The ending was kind of dumb, and I always get annoyed when Marvel keeps trying to explain why Earth is so special.

I tried storytiming it once but couldn't make it all the way, so hopefully OP does it better than I ever did.

I remember when Fraction was giving interviews for this book, mainly because he described his version of Strange as a skeevy professor who liked to sleep with his students.

>>94767446
Didn't Hulk and the Surfer rather brutally beat each other up in planet Hulk? You'd think there'd be just *a little* bad blood. Must be all the concussions

>>94767522
Jesus. Can we just get someone good on Dr. Strange?

>>94767522
Which is kinda funny in light of the ending.

>>94767520
I kinda liked this book, but I also resent it a little.

After Fear Itself: The Deep, Bunn had wanted to do a Defenders ongoing as a follow-up.
Fraction's book was already incoming so they said no.
Bunn did, however, get to do an ongoing sequel to The Fearless, and they even called it a Defenders book.
Too bad The Fearless and Fearless Defenders were fucking terrible,

>>94767522
>>94767607
You REALLY notice how weird it is, when you read every Strange/Defenders appearance from Ditko to now.

>>94767688
I remember people giving this page shit because it came out not long after Shang-Chi did zero-g kung-fu in Ellis' Secret Avengers.

>>94767716
>fucks Misty and leaves before she wakes up
Huh
I like this less than I did when it first came out.

>>94767166

>when Elizabeth Ross was She-Hulk and Banner went Full EVUL retard because why the fuck not?

I kinda miss She-Rulk, not gonna lie. That Jeff Parker series was pretty good.

>>94768028

she was good

but then marvel replaced her and old Jen with a Shit run

>>94767879
>Prester John
Wasn't this guy one of the residents on Cable's island Providence? What's his deal?

>>94767283

>Fraction

Do you really need to ask that question?

Yeah, I feel like he's a bit wasted at DC at the moment. What was the last thing he wrote, Future Quest? And that ended a while ago

I read a storytime of this recently and this series wasn't that bad. Probably could have lasted longer if it wasn't for the $4 price.

>>94767396

tl;dr why's earth so special?

is it wrong that i really enjoy creepy stephen?

That's all for today, the rest tomorrow

>>94770406
None of these threats should hold any meaning due to it being Strange and all. I can't say I like whoever is writing this.

I genuinely don't remember the ending of this, what made people so upset? I remember reading through it all on a car trip and loved it

>>94770907
>>94770907
The Future Quest continuation (Future Quest Showcase) was out last Wednesday. He is also doing one of those Digital First books (Batman '66 maybe?). He seems happy with those old characters.

This is why I hate Fraction. His introduction of Martha as Strange's lost love. There are atleast 2 girls like her that were canon and fit the description.

You got Amanda Payne and Madeline, like fuck off Fraction I will always hate your endless shitty retcons.

>>94767633
So you resent it, because Bunn didn't get to write it, even though when he did get to write it, it was absolute shit?

>>94767633
One of the few things that I remember from fearless defenders, apart from Bunn's terrible OC who should've stayed dead, was the flashback to why Clea left Strange. Wherein she goes to the Sanctum Sanctorum and instead of ringing to doorbell or knocking she goes to a window like some kind of burglar and sees Strange with a couple of what's at best some girls he picked at a club or at worst some hookers.

>>94767166
Is this the one where they imply that Captain Nemo cucked Namor's dad and is actually Namor's biological father?

>>94770166
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME

bumpo

>>94768303
Hey man, His Hawkeye run was fantastic

>Le writer was always bad! meme
It's stale anon

>>94767775

thats not misty.
just some girl who looks like her (thus the hookup being a mistake)

This is my first exposure to Fraction's Defenders series. I didn't really know what to expect but so far I'm loving it.

Both her arms are made of flesh.

>>94767298
The musTache is nice

>>94767166
I don't know much about these characters and their history, will this still offend me? Is it just as memey as a lot of Fagtion's writing?

Book kind of took a blow when Terry Dodson got off the book.

>>94771685
It annoys me cause even though these deaths were technically undone...these characters still haven't showed up again since.

>>94795996
>give Iron Fist a larger mythos and supporting characters
>don't use them
For what purpoise?
