The Defenders is just over two weeks away, and the hype is real ladies and gentlemen. It’s so cool to see Marvel and Netflix’s experiment about to come into full fruition. So far the reviews seem promising, but two weeks still seems like a ways off. However, Marvel made the very smart decision of publishing a Defenders comic series before the Netflix show was released. It’s a pretty damn awesome comic, and here are six reasons why you should be reading it.
2. Brian Michael Bendis
Brian Michael Bendis is one of Marvel’s most well known writers. He’s been at the company for a long time, and has written some fantastic stories. He created Jessica Jones, wrote one of the greatest Daredevil runs of all time, and has been pivotal in developing a lot of the most well known characters. Lately he’s been working on a lot more crossover events and cosmic Marvel storylines, he recently finished up a run on Guardians of the Galaxy. And while those stories have their fans, personally I’ve been wanting to see him go back to the streets and write characters like Daredevil and Jessica Jones again. He feels much more in his element here with these characters dealing with more human problems. Plus, it’s just awesome to see him right Jessica Jones and Luke Cage in the same book again.
