Our hero’s are reacting from the Secret Empire event and are trapped in New York with a world turned upside down. Jessica has been shot and someone has been trying to take out the Defenders. Enter one thought to be dead Diamondback. He“s back and he“s more brutal than ever. He also opens this book taking back his turf and making a point. There“s even a meme Easter egg in the first few pages. See if you can find it. With our hero’s regrouping they try to figure out who is gunning for them and shocked when they find out who. The panel to panel story to action in this comic is very entertaining, smooth and colorfully creative. As each hero makes the scene he or she gets an explosive old school introduction with bold name popping action! It’s a fresh look for the colors and pencil work as they complement each other. Welding as they cleverly blend together throughout the panels. We even get an awesome cameo as the story escalates.
A lot happens in this first issue. It was quite awesome as story and plan unfold. With the Netflix success of these characters I“m glad to see a comic to match. It will be epic to see them on the small screen. I do enjoy a team up and a villain that is bound to give the hero’s trouble that will only make them stronger in the end. This is a fun team to watch in comic book form and I can“t wait to see them on Netflix as well. Until then I“m quite satisfied with the ride we have until then. Defenders #1 gets five out of five stars.
