With the roster you never asked for.https://bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-comics-brings-back-defenders-for-queen-in-black/
Most of these people are Avengers already. Why bother with a different name?
>>153035597>Most of these people are Avengers already.Two founding Avengers even
>>153035479I'm down for suprise Darkstar but I'm not reading Knullshit
>>153035624I'm not sure if that actually applies outside of Mortal Thor and Storm. The image of early Avengers has Thor instead of Bill in Iron Man.
>>153035654This is an event written by the writer of Mortal Thor and Hela being forgotten by everyone is meant to be a plot point in this event
>>153035479Every time I see Tony randomly added to a team of second stringers I get flashbacks to Benis taking over the Guardians and stripping every single bit of soul off the team.Anyway I love Bill and Flash (even if I think the Anti-Venom version of his costume looks like shit) but you couldn't force me to read a Knull event even if the entire team was comprised of my favorite characters.
>>153035479Don't care for thisWhere is the Dani Moonstar tie-in
>>153035479>Dagger but no CloakWut?
>>153035739He's next to Laynia.
>>153035479Wow I hate this roster
>>153035739they're on different defenders' teams facing different threats
>>153035479So marvel rivals push?
>>153035739He’s right there.The 8 members areIron ManCloakDaggerSunfireDarkstar (back to being good after X-Factor appearance)Monica Rambeau PhotonBeta Ray BillAnti-Venom Flash Thompson
>>153035755In general, or as a team called Defenders?
>>153035788Both
>>153035709Who?
>>153035784>Darkstar (back to being good after X-Factor appearance)Did anyone even read Mark Russell's X-factor?
>>153035784>Darkstar (back to being good after X-Factor appearance)Is she still an informorph hijacking a Dire Wraith body?
>>153035479>defenders in name only>knullshit tie-in>assembled by… Tony Starkwho the fuck is this for
>>153036800Preserving trademarks maybe.
>>153036724All of the issues have been storytimed and it was involved in events twice so most likely
fun teamBUTterrible event, modern marvel BS, knullshit, rivals synergy, just 3 issues
>>153035479>Meanwhile, Tony Stark’s all-new Black Metal Armor is the ultimate weapon against Knullmeanwhile the cover shows no "Black Metal" - just bog standard Iron Man costume
>>153035784Keep Iron Man Darkstar Photon Beta Ray Bill and that's a decent team
>>153035479Well, I guess now this picture has sense. Light heroes vs Evil Darkness and Dark heroes vs Evil Light.
>>153038396This also means Spider-Man and Venom (MJ) are going to be drawn into this, like it or not.
>>153035479>>153038396wait which subteam are Flash and Sunfire on?Flash was fighting Knull on the original cover and now he's fighting HelaAnd the reverse with Shiro
>>153039003Flash is versus Knull, and Sunfire is versus Hela, going by those two covers
>>153038396Honestly, at first, I was thinking that this was going to be just another reason to make Peter and MJ hate each other again, but interestingly, Flash, Tony, and Peter are all the closest super-powered people in her life... she's inexperienced, and Venom's likely to be irrational here. All three of them telling MJ she's making the wrong choices would be pretty interesting.
>>153038396Featuring Tony Stark from Devil May Cry
>>153039003>>153039078>BETA RAY BILL leads PHOTON, SUNFIRE and DAGGER to cast a light against Hela's sweeping darkness >while IRON MAN, equipped in new Darkforce armor, leads DARKSTAR, AGENT ANTI-VENOM and CLOAK to snuff out Knull's all-encompassing light.
>>153039971Does Agent Anti-Venom really have darkness powers? Shouldn't they have Shroud instead?
>>153040687Anti-Venom is good if Knull still has any symbiotes working for himBill's also good against symbiotes since they have an epigenetic fear of Thunder and lightning
>>153035479BILL, FUCK YEAH!
>>153038396I don't get how these guys are supposed to defeat Knull with the powers of Captain Universe and Hela with Knull's old KiB powers at the same time. Bill's the only real powerhouse in this group, everyone else is going to get thrashed.
>>153035479>KnullAnd dropped
>>153043749Monica and Tony can usually bullshit their way into the Cosmic tierDarkstar and Sunfire are impressive on a planetary scale but not quite as powerful as someone who moves at lightspeed or builds tech that rivals alien empiresCloak and Dagger have languished at street level since their inception but they are solid conduits for the Lightforce and DarkforceMy guess is that they are going to combine their powers and the resulting combo will be exponentially more powerful
>>153035752When you see it, you'll shit bricks
Listen I like like Iron Man but how does he fit this theme or even the mystical nature of the Defenders conceptually?
>>153043749They are literally fighting each villain with the opposite of its power. They are fighting Knull's Light with Darkness, and Hela's Darkness with Light.
