The Defenders is a name of a number of Marvel Comics superhero groups â?? usually presented as a "non-team" of individualistic "outsiders" each known for following their own agendas â?? that usually battles mystic and supernatural threats. Its original and most popular incarnation is led by Doctor Strange and also includes The Silver Surfer, Namor, and the Hulk, all popular superheroes in their own right. They first appeared as The Defenders in Marvel Feature #1 (December 1971). The group had a rotating line-up from 1972 until 1986. The publication was retitled near the end of the run as The New Defenders but featured none of the originals. The concept was modified in the 1993-95 series Secret Defenders, in which Dr. Strange assembled different teams for each individual mission. In the 2000s, Marvel published a new miniseries featuring the classic line-up. This is the most complete Defenders torrent featuring 1. Defenders v1 2. Defenders v2 3. Secret Defenders 4. Defenders-The Order 5. The Last Defenders Defenders could have been a classic mainstream title for Marvel like Avengers, Fantastic Four. It featured some of the big guns of the Marvel. Hulk, Namor, Silver Surfur and Dr.Strange (all loners) packed in to one 'non team'. But Marvel killed the title when they introduced the 'New Defenders' featuring Angel,Valkyrie,Beast,Gargoyle. Now just imagine the original line up replaced by these characters. That is when the series really took a downturn. In later incarnations Marvel replaced the new team by the original members. This torrent contains Defenders title uptill the current Last Defenders title releases. I would like to thank all the scanners and original uploaders for making it possible for me to compile this torrent. Enjoy and Seed.
Thank you (^_^)
Actually, the big four weren't "replaced" by the "New" Defenders. Of the original four, only Dr. Strange and Hulk hung around for a long time and the best eras of the team (such as Steve Gerber's run and later J.M. DeMatteis' run) featured characters like Valkyrie, Nighthawk, Hellcat, Luke Cage, Red Guardian, Devil-Slayer and Hellstorm. Most of these characters were Defenders a lot longer than Namor and the Silver Surfer. What killed the book wasn't chucking the big four (because they were barely around), it was chucking the non-team, chaotic feel in favor of a more structured superhero book. The big four never made the Defenders great, it was the offbeat chaotic nature of it. This was made painfully obvious during the godawful Busiek/Larsen revamp.
Also, this Torrent seems to miss the Keith Giffen mini series that came after The Order but before The Last Defenders.
