He's all yours lol
The crazy guy who just wants to bust heads.
Paul O'Brien sounds a bit biased because he apparently never liked the Defenders due to their not having a really solid fundamental concept behind them. I don't really care what their initial concept was; Casey seems to have a good idea for a concept in mind for this particular incarnation--namely, the black sheep of the Initiative (although not quite so much as the Great Lakes Whatevers).
Wait, 52 teams? Do Puerto Rico and Washington, DC get teams too or something?
Who cares what Paul O'Brien thinks anyway? His reviews are always terrible.
Skull really annoyed me in this.
But everything else was good.
I have no exposure to the Blazing Skull prior to this, so I can't really judge whether Casey's kept him in line with his established character. But the Skull was basically exactly what Casey promised he'd be in his interviews prior to the issue's release.
Deadpool is a crazy guy who just wants to bust heads. Blazing skull is just a nuisance.
Blazing Skull is awesome.
I think he's "grizzled" in that he's likely to kill people in a fight. Old soldier and all that. Plus, y'know, crazy, as we've established.
I wouldn't put it past Casey in this very mini. I'm already looking forward to what Atlas'll bring to the book.
Yeah, a little panel referencing that conversation between Cyclops and Iron Man or Cyclops asking Colossus to take one for the team would've been nice. Casey seems to be treating TLD as a Nighthawk story first and foremost, though.
and, be honest, who really expects another Defenders ongoing, like, ever?
Then NONE of the original Defenders will be on the team.
