Today, I broke open the shrink wrap on MMW Defenders #2.  I'm into the Avengers/Defenders Clash right now @ Defenders #9.  The reproduction is absolutely fantastic!  I especially enjoy Sal Buscema's artwork!  I peeked at the cover to Defenders #10 by Romita, and it looks stunning!  Also the artwork by Starlin and company in GS Defenders #1 looks nice too!  Throughout the book, the colors are vibrant and the linework is in sharp focus.  Nice work everyone!

Speaking of GS Defenders #1, I'm curious.  Why is GS Defenders #1 (dated July '74) listed on pg. 183?  This puts it ahead of Defenders #13 (dated May '74, on pg. 220).  I was thinking that GS D #1 would be listed either before or after Defenders #14 (dated July '74, pg. 240).  What info am I missing that would explain the order of these books?  Was the placement of GSD#1 done simply to avoid breaking up the story between D #13 & #14?  Why not place GSD #1 after D #14?  Emot_help

My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!
