Will Sliney's art has shown some marked improvements over just the course of four issues even though Valkyrie's boob armor still defies explanation. He does do some great action pieces and the scene of Valkyrie's flashback to her moment Asgard with Odin is beautifully amplified by Veronica Gandini's colors. Now that the personalities of the Fearless Defenders are slotting into place and the shady force behind the rise of the Doom Maidens is amping up her villainy, The Fearless Defenders is shaping up to be one of the more unique and enjoyable titles in Marvel's monthly lineup.

Fearless Defenders #4 is another good issue that advances the story pretty well, and sets up next issue well enough, but it is still missing that push to make it standout in Marvel's NOW line-up. Despite a couple plot holes and awkward pencils, it was still a good issue and I continue to recommend this series to anyone who likes swords a sorcery. Read Full Review
"The Fearless Defenders" #4 is an entertaining issue chock full of story and solid moments. Bunn packs the pages with dialogue, which can feel bulky at times, but it means he can chock in quite a lot of narrative for one issue. Attacks are made, plans are hatched, and a hard decision is pondered. This book is an action adventure story of an all female team that delivers the goods. Read Full Review
All in all, Fearless Defenders has been a fun book with a purpose and that is to once again highlight that Marvel has tons of great characters, especially female ones, that deserve some spotlighting and to be handled by a solid creative team. Cullen Bunn is definitely one half of that team and Will Sliney is pretty close to being the other half if he can polish up his pencils. I'm hoping these series gets room to evolve and build an audience. Read Full Review
