Looking at the covers, on GCD, the Sub-Mariner and the Hulk, after quitting this issue, seem to make an almost immediate return.Stevehttp://stevedoescomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-43195537755793360582010-12-13T23:48:01.888+00:002010-12-13T23:48:01.888+00:00This was the first Defenders comic I ever bought (...This was the first Defenders comic I ever bought ( for 6p! ) so it holds a special place in my heart, even if it is occasionally ropey - giant gnomes? When I first read it I was fascinated by the idea of the Avengers/Defenders War and the talk of our dimension being devastated by the power of the Evil Eye, with humanity being turned into "mindless monsters under Dormammu's rule". What an amazing epic I'd missed! When I finally read the whole story in reprints I admit I was a bit disappointed - some stories are better in your own imagination! But issue 11 is a fun ( if mental ) little story with some nice Sal Buscema artwork, and that lovely last page where the Defenders go their separate ways, but on friendly terms for once.Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
