Note: At
the point of typing the Defenders series hadn’t come out yet.
Luke Cage,
Daredevil, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones, together they are the Defenders, a
street level Superhero team that deal with things below the pay-grade of people like
the Avengers. I’ve reviewed a lot of their individual outings with all but
Jessica Jones not meeting the standard I look for in comics.
So, in the
writer’s seat we have Brian Michael Bendis. If you ever want the definition of
a hit-and-miss writer, look up Bendis. I literally did an editorial on why Civil War II was a piece of sh*t. But Bendis also wrote Jessica Jones which I
enjoy and was responsible for all the Miles Morales Spider-man issues, which have mostly been good, so maybe something’s here to enjoy. Let’s find out.
