Another grab off the racks

[L.R Johansson]

I think I read a later appearance by this villain... Necrodamus - did he also end up trying to sacrifice the mortal that had bonded to Valkyrie? I can vaguely recall Spider-man being in the story too... There are multiple appearances of him, right? Is this his FIRST appearance? I believe he wants to used dark magic to become young again, or some such?

[kilderkin]

I always loved the defenders

They seemed to have more mystic type stories, at least as I recall

The dynamics were great
