Admittedly, some of...I kind of like Interloper. :)<br /><br />Admittedly, some of the stuff he did, like walking across the ocean didn't make a lot of sense, seeing as Eternals can Fly. Or, for that matter, Teleport. And I'm not sure why an 8 ft tall, 1000 lbs guy needs to have a scary cloak.<br /><br />And, why is someone, who has spent the last 1000 years or so hiding in Siberia, referring to himself as the Interloper. He seems quite the opposite of one to me.<br /><br />He's known to be a friend of his fellow Eternal, Gilgamesh. If you're aware of that Epic, I suggest his real name is "Enkidu". Interloper...Enkidu...works for me.<br /><br />I also think he should have been around during the 50 State Initiative times. <br /><br />I seem to recall that Hellcat was assigned as Alaska's only Initiative member. Hellcat, she with no powers to speak of, being the only government approved super in the largest most spread out state - over twice the size of Texas and very cold.<br /><br />You know who would have been better - a godlike (Super-Strong, indestructible, telekinetic, shoot energy blasts, telepathic, etc.) being who (should) could fly, or teleport anywhere he needs to be. And actually solve issues and fight huge groups of bad guys. A guy who's from Siberia!Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796605725594056206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-29569412563352446362014-12-27T16:25:50.733-05:002014-12-27T16:25:50.733-05:00Man, Moondragon was sure fixed in both Peter David...Man, Moondragon was sure fixed in both Peter David's Captain Marvel and the Annihilation/Guardians of the Galaxy series.romspaceknightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-84503101149863351402014-11-26T23:54:15.123-05:002014-11-26T23:54:15.123-05:00One thing this issue has going for it: the best co...One thing this issue has going for it: the best costume that Moondragon ever wore.

But my understanding was always that the "plan" for Maddie was for her to go off into the sunset with Scott and for them to only show up periodically, for special events and the like. Meaning, there was no plan other than for her to be a normal human being married to Cyclops. <br /><br />Until they brought Jean back, which meant having Cyclops abandon his wife and son. I've always liked how Claremont turned his resentment about that into Maddie's post-X-FACTOR, with her boiling with resentment against Scott for years. Deserved resentment. Scott is and always has been a schmuck.timoneil5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/07972882511861553820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-37713850248776466772014-11-24T21:16:37.706-05:002014-11-24T21:16:37.706-05:00@Tim.

I shoulda been more forthright: you're right, Claremont did commit to Jean's death, and the book was better for it. Didn't know they'd gone so far as to produce the first page of the next issue. Just an interesting bit of interplay between art and commerce (if Shooter stands in for the latter), all the moreso because of the eventual role reversal.<br /><br />Do you know what the hell the plan for Maddy was? Poor Claremont. The guy was the mastermind behind the most popular book on the stands, set the mold for two decades or so of team books, and had more plots overturned by editorial fiat than some shlub just in off the street. Cranking out the 'death of Wolverine' 15 years after he planned it out makes me wonder if someone there is just torturing the guy at this point.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-55009327764793292122014-11-23T17:15:20.013-05:002014-11-23T17:15:20.013-05:00I can't seem to log into my Google blogger acc...I can't seem to log into my Google blogger account on my phone. Hurm...Anyway...<br /><br />Yeah, that whole denouement storyline... Just kept throwing weirder and weirder seemingly random revelations and character hiccups silk over the place. All to boot x-factor. Poor, poor Defenders.<br /><br />However, those for characters didn't stay dead for very long. Well not gone anyway. They came back as dead spirit Defenders in the STRANGE TALES / DOCTOR STRANGE: SORCERER SUPREME arc by... yup, Peter Gillis.<br />Valkyrie eventually took over another human form (which was quickly forgotten) and then some other screwed up continuity retcons, then another form and then "died"again in ragnarok with all of Thor's cast- but RE emerged in her original Samantha Parrington body in Busieks Defenders.<br /><br />Gargoyle came back -having something to do with Daimon (son of Satan) Hellstrom.<br /><br />Andromeda came back in bodily form eventually too.<br /><br />Pretty sure Interloper and Manslaughter stayed as spirits.<br />I really don't recall.<br />Hey...even *I* can't remember every nuance of Doctor Strange related crap.<br />LoL<br /><br />Nice blog entry though.<br />Now to continue reading your reviews... ooh!

But Claremont committed to the death, took it seriously, and spent years dealing with the aftermath in UNCANNY. Bringing Jean back derailed his plans for Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, made Rachel Summers just about superfluous, and negated years of stories about Scott and the rest of the team coming to terms with her death.timoneil5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/07972882511861553820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-82957438935219330922014-11-19T20:29:58.709-05:002014-11-19T20:29:58.709-05:001.

That is... something.<br /><br />2. While I appreciate Claremont's refusal to acknowledge Jean's resurrection, wasn't killing her off Shooter's edict in the first place?Nickhttp://nicholasjahr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-54003963861070835092014-11-19T13:22:51.890-05:002014-11-19T13:22:51.890-05:00How has Manslaughter never met Deadpool?How has Manslaughter never met Deadpool?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345577.post-26780175579929614422014-11-19T05:35:51.112-05:002014-11-19T05:35:51.112-05:00Thank you for walking us through that.

Always was mildly curious how the Defenders ended but basically avoided everything past 1980 because it wasn't "The Defenders" --whatever that was. Truly hideous. Val seems like the only one to really survive this mess, eventually, in some reincarnated form or other, but she had a convoluted identity to begin with. The magical Beyonder character was so lame. Ugh. Jim Shooter. Ugh.BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14262262627667900995noreply@blogger.com
