Thursday Short Reviews

August 25, 2005, 6:35 pm

Busy day, so short reviews!
Defenders #2

More funny stuff from Giffen and company. I’m not enjoying this nearly as much as their Justice League comics, though. Most likely my anti-Marvel bias is kicking in. If you are buying this, you are probably enjoying it: there’s enough amsuing dialogue and action to go around.
