So with this volume, we get:

* 10 regular issues
* 3 issues of the Avengers crossover with 3-page prologue
* Giant-Size Defenders #1 complete, which includes 9 pages of primo Starlin art and a double-page pinup spread

The GS Defenders will also include the reprint material that all those framing pages surrounded. Since some of the Starlin framing panels actually were placed on the reprint pages, and since the story narrative was pretty seamless between the framing pages and reprint pages, this seemed appropriate.

So, yeah, I think this volume came together pretty well. We'll have 2 or 3 years to wait for an Avengers book that might cover the 3 Defenders issues, but this one'll do just fine.
