I look forward to seeing how all this will play out in the third issue when it is released next month. Read Full Review

Action packed, well paced, and very cool. Read Full Review

This series continues to be very compelling. The characters and the storyline are developing nicely. Read Full Review

This is quickly becoming one of Marvels best comics on the stand. The dialogue is witty, the characters are well represented, and the action is fast and frequent. The pacing does make the comic feel like it comes and goes fairly quickly, but that aside, it is well worth your time and money. Its a fantastic read. Read Full Review

As you'd expect from writer Brian Michael Bendis, the dialogue is fast, funny and very real - and the reactions of each character are likewise. The art by David Marquez is excellent, with striking layouts and powerful character designs. Throw in some clever plot twists and several guest appearances, and you have a series that doesn't slow down for a moment. Read Full Review

The Defenders #2 is an excellent issue and really has set this series as a must-read for Marvel fans. For now not being caught up in all of the"events" or happenings in the Marvel Universe is really helping this series tell a grounded story that fits perfectly for these "street level" heroes. While it is great that this story has not yet been caught up in Marvels Secret Empire event I do love seeing these short cameos by other Marvel Heroes and villains, it entrenches this series in the Marvel Universe while not having it control the story being told. It looks like Marvel might have a legitimate hit on their hands with great writing and art The Defenders is off to a fantastic start! Read Full Review

Back on the beat and settling in a New York groove The Defenders #2 avoids a lot of Bendis’s second issue pitfalls and stands as a solid capitalization on the debut’s bombast. That isn’t to say this issue completely avoids some of Bendis’s tried-and-true (and perhaps even overused) hallmarks, but what it lacks in development it more than makes up for in characterization and gorgeous artwork.

Whereas Luke Cage took a strong spotlight in the premiere issue, the second issue focuses much more on Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Daredevil. Each cast member is given their time to shine equally as Cage takes a backseat. David Marquez is becoming one of my favorite current artists at Marvel. He continues to impress, his lines are at the same time clean and edgy. And Bendis delivers another strong, action packed issue here. He really knows each of these characters inside and out. This is the book, and these are the characters, that Bendis is meant to be writing. Read Full Review

The Defenders may be the most corporately-mandated comic I have ever read. This is the sort of fluff comic that Brian Michael Bendis could write in his sleep. It might as well say "Officially licensed from Netflix" on the cover. Read Full Review

Despite stellar work from David Marquez, "Defenders" #2 is out of touch with the individual personalities of Marvel's Netflix heroes. Read Full Review

This is going to be an amazing run. Only 2 issues in and the team has a lot of questions to answer. Diamondback is proving to be a serious problem, Wilson Fisk can't escape the Kingpin life, and The Punisher.. well, you're just going to have to pick this issue up and see what happens.

This is a good, action-filled issue that still has time for Bendis-style characterization. I like the cast of characters in this book (even if they are a promotional item for the upcoming Netflix show) and I like the way they are interacting. I didn't expect Blade but it makes sense for him to be here, and the Punisher is badassed. It's nice to enjoy Marquez art without the accompanying sour taste of "Civil War II," so, yeah, two issues in there is a lot of promise here.

Not defending much of anything at this point.

그림체는 휼륭하고 넷의 캐미는 끝내줬으며 넷플릭스 디펜더즈에 대한 기대감또한 많이 높여줬다! 이대로만 나오길!

The artwork is very fitting for this comic, I particularly like the pages with Night Nurse.

This was a fun read. The story is not a very in-depth one, but it sure does get the job done. The art is just fantastic. I really cant say it enough. The scene with the Jessica holding diamondback hostage is phenomenally well drawn. Overall, the story is moving slow, (it's Bendis and I expect that) but, very well written. The only thing that did not make much sense was the end. I really need to read the next issue to see what they are doing with this angle.

This was a fun "bringing the team together" kind of issue. Nice to see Danny get a good scene with Kingpin. I still can't quite get my head around how different Jessica looks in this book compared to her own book. Is her hair even a different colour?

Bendis will forever be one of my favorite comic writers ever, but this issue was just boring and uninteresting. There’s potential, but the dialogue just felt so forced. That last page was pretty crazy and Marquez’s art is still beautiful, so I’d say Defenders 2 is a 6.5

Nothing really happens in this issue. There are a few gorgeous panels by Marquez but besides that, the story isn't very interesting. The last page reveal was pretty ridiculous and didn't make much sense.

Bendis = Boring. Jessica Jones is uninteresting & the scene with Fisk & Danny was not good. Poor characterization. Pretty good art. Colors are a bit weird I think.

Enjoy synergy, now with Bendis speak!
