Set Description:
There are some 30 cent and 35 cent Variants in them their HILLS! Friends come and go, but Defenders are forever? They get at odds with each other in their 1st couple of Marvel Feature issues, making it then to their own lasting series and the 1st ongoing! The "group of the day" or just anyone who feels like claiming membership? The Defenders Spring forward, and from, out of nowhere! Exciting and new, no one knew what to expect in each issue.
Defenders takes a shot at the fun-loving 70's, and the risks that Marvel will take to try and make it with the groupings of heroes that all have promise. An expected end was made of the streaming series that included Iron Fist. What is next for the Defenders? What is there left to do and accomplish? Making heroes out of the actors and actresses who were willing to play roles with heart!

Fencing back and forth banter comes with its own casualties when the big picture comes around. Defenders on screen and in print may seem like two different versions from media, and of course! Long is the backdrop to get any series up and running, and these are some Bronze Age favorites that called in favors towards cosplay and other fan ages within ephemera of any era. Comic-cons and the like are brimming with those that would become Dr. Strange, Hulk, and or a Silver Surfer. In the long run and with somewhat decent sales, even a Valkyrie was in on the shelves as the arc was destined for something bigger than themselves! Top shelf was an expression to deem something worthy and or esteemed, and yet we didn't find it all too extreme, it did get those inclined excited all the same.

"National Diamond Insert!" Valkyrie joins the Defenders. Black Knight, Executioner and Enchantress appearance. I have the Valkyrie character in an Avengers issue, but I needed a follow up issue to show her usefulness! I chose "The Defenders." Displaying the cover with power, might, and hopefully keeping up with the motivation of "team" spirit. She claims to need none other than herself, we all have to keep an ear out for those battle cries. Keep an eye out for the victories, because at the heart of it all we might find the "spirit" of the Defenders. In a way though, they keep us morally taught to help others or stay confident, and hopefully they help a team or others and not out for self-glory. With a National Diamond Insert bought raw at Fan Expo Dallas 2021, and it spent several months at CGC but when they came back I agreed with the grade estimates. HAHA Glad to have summed up the submission at the advertised 7.0 from the Comic Con dealer and LCS Duncanville Bookstore. It ended up the same and without a press!
Complete with a back cover picture of the "new" Valkyrie, indeed she is as peaceable a heroine as any. $2 finds from Half Price Books, that frequently is flowing with new comics, but mostly randoms.
Grader Notes:
""National Diamond Sales"" insert;
light bends to cover;
light creasing to cover;
moderate spine stress lines to cover.

30 Cent Price Variant! THE Defenders. It was a Netflix Series, among all the ones they could have chosen for it, it wasn't too bad. I finally started seeing "The Defender's" books show up at Keiths Comics my Local Comic Shop! I snagged this Price Variant in the Dollar box, it's not in bad shape considering! Got to take what we can get sometimes. Finding price variants is still new, I've only fairly recently become accustomed to the different types. Bronze age is easier for the most part to determine. Defenders! They've got the mission, although they are not always friendly to each other, and they seem to always be changing members ha-ha. It is all in a day's work to some heroes whether they be of the slab, priced, or dollar bin variety. All shapes and sizes, as even free give aways have their day in the sun as collectables!
Complete with a back cover picture of Defenders #2 that was a great pick up and read, as it is the beginning of other members being associated, which was a Keith's Comics find that got me introduced to the Defenders comic style!

1st "Korvac!" An alien of sorts who has a mind for games, mind games that is, characters assembled for game set and match against each other! I have a raw as well; although, the raw cover is split all the way down. This Korvac could be mined in the same way he enjoys a good competition. Making those choices for a team to get behind, Korvac has certainly made his choice. His decision is sure, and the "wager" is not on the Defender side. He actually wagers on them to fail, and if the classic banter of disagreement for the Defenders, in classic Marvel style, ring true? He'll come close to having his will and way, ah but that isn't the ending Marvel has deemed necessary. As the Defenders creep up the roster, Korvac has the rocking chair swiped out from under, and the victor the spoils? I'm sure the Hulk is just happy to have a sit down after THAT ordeal!
Complete with back cover picture of the raw to read, with a bit of a detached cover, I'll still enjoy it! HaHa.
