Will Sliney's art has been somewhat less concerned with the tiny-waisted, large-breasted idealization of the female form, but it's still toeing the line into cheesecake territory here. That being said, his action sequences are fun and dynamic, if you ignore the Same Face Syndrome plaguing the book's cast. AS always, Veronica Gandini's colors are vivid and saturated, lending a vibrancy to the world of The Fearless Defenders that's as colorful as its characters. So, if you're looking for a book that's unabashedly fun and you're not reading this series . . . look at your life. Look at your choices. Read Full Review

Fearless Defenders #5 has a good plot and it is great to see so many strong female characters leading a book. Bunn shows us more of the story here, and links back to the first issue very well indeed. Sliney's art is improving, yet still sometimes does leave the reader wondering whether or not his style is suitable for an all-female book. Bunn also tries his best to give every woman a bit of dialogue, which does fall flat at times. Nonetheless, this remains a good issue.
