Gonna get my garlic and stakes together to fight off all classic Defenders relaunches.
Gonna get my garlic and stakes together to fight off all classic Defenders relaunches.
I want them to take another swing at the street-level Defenders again. Maybe with Soule or Duggan or something. Add Falcon, Strange, Misty, Moon Knight, Colleen, etc. I'm also generally not the biggest fan of classic Defenders and that OG lineup. But if Best Defense does spin off into an ongoing, that's cool. Good books are good books.
While I'm not a fan of the Heroes for Hire being called Defenders, Netflix synergy be damned, I do prefer a lower powered Defenders, where 'big guns' include people like Valkyrie, Hellstrom and the Gargoyle, and there's room for weaker or even powerless people like Hellcat and Candy Southern. If the team needs a real powerhouse, throw that Eternal dude in there (whose name I have forgotten, Dragon Circle? Worldwalker? Whatever.), or Moondragon!
Too often, 'the Defenders' are seen as the Hulk (who should be an elemental force of destruction, not the strong guy on a super-team), Dr. Strange (who is the man standing between our dimension and Dormammu, Shuma-Gorath, etc. and has a WAY more important role to play than 'guy who teleports the others around'), Namor (who is freaking King of Atlantis, and should spend some time actually doing that job and flitting about the surface world) and the Silver Surfer (who doesn't belong on Earth, at all, being pretty much the poster-child for 'cosmic hero'). They all have more important things to be doing, some (Dr. Strange, for whom a break to go super-heroing is an existential threat to our universe!) more than others.
Zub has actually named the roster he'd pick if he got to do Avengers again.
Wasp, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Voodoo, Hawkeye, Vision, Hercules, Synapse. Which is five from his Uncanny team, two from Waid's, plus one from Occupy.

Well, Zdarsky did last week's Namor: Best Defense, and he's also writing Invaders, which of course features the Submariner as well. Namor's already spoken for.

Avengers No Road Home #1 variant cover by Adam Hughes.
The legacy numbering has apparently been switched, instead of interrupting Aaron's, it's now in the mid 100s (can't make out the exact number as it's blurry). New Avengers, I think. Could that title be relaunching after the 10 part weekly ends, then?

It's #166, with the last 165 being every issue of New Avengers plus No Surrender which is clusterscrewy because 2005 New Avengers and No Surrender are part of the main series numbering which is why Legacy numbering is extremely stupid and people are wrong for wanting it.
