Hilarious Read for Marvel Fans,

This review is from: Defenders: Indefensible (Defenders (Marvel Comics)) (Paperback)
I love what Keith Giffen & friends have done with 4 of Marvel's more blustering, hot-tempered characters in this hilarious tale of the "other regions". Can you picture 2 more egocentric, long-winded characters than Dr. Strange and Prince Namor, forced to work together with the Hulk to keep another hothead, Dormammu, from destroying the universe. Meanwhile, Silver Surfer, who's supposed to be helping them, is busy getting all gnarly with the California (?) surfing crowd. The writing and artwork are superb, and I heartily recommend this to anyone who's tired of hearing Namor blowing his own whistle about how regal and superior he is...blah, blah, blah , woof, woof.... or hearing Dr. Strange going on with one of his numerous incantations. And wait until you see what the Hulk's role is in all of this! Just brilliant insanity!

Everything that the Defenders was known for...,

...is amplified to the extreme in this collection.
The creative team of J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen and Kevin Maguire, best known for their slap-stick humor on DC's Justic League International, head back to Marvel and take the strife, struggle and humor that was known in the 1970's Defenders run and put their own spin on it. The demonic brother and sister duo of Dormammu and Umar have put aside their differences long enough to try and take over the Earth, leaving Dr. Strange to convince his former comrades-in-arms to try and stop them. Unfortunately, reuniting as the Defenders is the last thing any of them want to do. This series is full of one-liners familar to casual and long-time fans alike, and is also heavy on exposition, something today's comic books seem to be lacking. Also, the art by Maguire is pefectly suited for the mood of the book, especially in the instance where Bruce Banner asks the Sub-Mariner about whether or not he had found little Nemo. A fun read...

Quite a funny read - Dormammu's sister is the star,
By danny boy "dbswongv" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Defenders: Indefensible (Defenders (Marvel Comics)) (Paperback)
This book is surprisingly entertaining in parts. It is written tongue-in-cheek and tells the tale of four of Marvel's superheroes getting together to defeat Dr Strange's nemesis The Dreaded Dormammu and his sister Umar (who?). Exactly. The writers have created an older sister for Dormammu and the siblings have this rather funny on-going dialogue exchange and practically steals the whole series. Funny in parts only because the section with the Silver Surfer and beach bums is just a waste of time.
The artwork complements the humorous treatment in this series. Goofy and campy, it doesn't always hit the mark but entertaining overall.
