It has been over a year since our last spotlight so it's time to continue our series on Marvel Comics first official " non team "the Defenders.
Deja Vu. The strange feeling you have seen, heard, done something or been somewhere before. I don't know what it is with the DEFENDERS but it never fails. First up, I could have sworn I had made a few DEFENDERS posts but when I looked it up I had only done one. Also when I looked it up I thought it had been only a month since then so I was not sure if I should do another one but when I looked twice it had been over a year.
Also I wrote in my last post that I had been preparing all the material for a DEFENDERS post and that I was up to issue 75 of the DEFENDERS which was more than enough for the first post. Well, when I went looking in my folders for this post all of it was gone. I had nothing. Zilch. Nada. Nix.
Because as longtime blog followers know my old laptop went kaputt and took my old picture archive with it. So yep, I had to start from scratch.
Again.
Which also means that there may be some pages in this or future posts that I have used before. As usual I went to the old posts to eliminate any possible redundancies but with over 1,300 published posts I hope my readers can give me some leeway if I don't inspect every one of them.
That said we come to the contents of this post which are a bit all over the place. In our last post we started at the beginning of this team but rather than continue where we left off I have decided to include the best of the best of what I have at the moment since I always try to give my readers the best bang for their buck. Well, " best bang for their buck "may not be the best term for this occasion because TALES FROM THE KRYPTONIAN is one hundred percent free but you know what I mean.
We already did the rundown of the team's history, we have already done my thoughts on the book and on the team and I have already mentioned my favourite team member - the nordic Busenwunder Valkyrie and her indestructible giant - sized metal bikini ( her teutonic twin torpedoes gave young Subzero all kind of unsavoury ideas and I always wondered if her huge melons had the same poined enlarged shape as her phallic full metal bra or if she had to squeeze her XXL funbags into it and they popped right back to their original perfectly form when she took it off ) so from here on out it's carte blanche for whatever the heart desires.
So aside from the best pages I have included a lot of material by the late great Joe Sinnott since he is one of my favourite inkers and I have not done a spotlight post for him in a while. And also because they include a character to whom we will return in the pop culture trivia section since he has a rather interesting backstory. That said I have already taken up more than enough of your time so let's return with our public defenders.
