DEFENSIVE MEASURES: Iron Fist & Red She-Hulk

Iron Fist and Red She-Hulk take the spotlight in today's DEFENSIVE MEASURES There are many ways to stop a villain's nefarious scheme. They can be out witted with cunning or intelligence, they can be intimidated by a show of overwhelming force and they can be attacked with everything from weapons, to magic, to super powers and a variety of high technology. Sometimes, though, the most effective method of taking down a villain is with aa simple punch. That means super-humanly strong characters and hand to hand combat experts are important parts of most super teams. In December, the latest incarnation of Marvel Comics' super team known as the Defenders comes together for an all new ongoing series by writer Matt Fraction and artist Terry Dodson, and their ranks will, of course, include its share of pugilistic powerhouses.

DEFENSIVE MEASURES: Doctor Strange & Nul

Series writer Matt Fraction talks with CBR about "Defenders" leader Doctor Strange and the team's main nemesis, Nul When you live in the Marvel Universe, things like robots, high-tech battle suits, mutants and super powers are impressive, awe-inspiring and often downright scary. Though advanced technology and super powers gained from things like radiation may be fantastic, on some level they're understandable because of their basis in science, and are therefore not as scary as magic and the supernatural. And while it's true that magic and monsters have rules of their own to follow, they're more mysterious and harder to explain, making supernatural phenomenon even more frightening. Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson's upcoming "Defenders" series, launching in December, will explore all the corners of the Marvel Universe -- including the mysterious realm of magic and monsters. In today's installment of DEFENSIVE MEASURES, our week-long look at ...

DEFENSIVE MEASURES: Fraction's "Defenders" Origins & Expectations

The Marvel Universe's major superhero teams tend to provoke strong and clear reactions from the general public, whether it's love for the Avengers and the Fantastic Four or fear and hatred directed toward the X-Men. One team that's never had a clear-cut relationship with the public-at-large, however, is the Defenders. Traditionally , the "non-team" has boasted lineups composed of a unique collection of heroes, including characters prone to destructive rages like the Hulk and Namor, mysterious and powerful beings like Doctor Strange and the Silver Surfer and quite often lesser-known and more esoteric heroes like Nighthawk, Valkyrie and Gargoyle. This dangerous and eclectic nature have made the Defenders a fan-favorite team over the decades, and in December, a new misfit grouping of diverse Marvel U residents is brought together in an all-new "Defenders" #1 by writer Matt Fraction and artist Terry Dodson. To help fans prepare for the new ongoing series, CB...

A insanidade de Bruce Banner.

Imagem
Faltam poucos dias para a estréia da nova série do Hulk com roteiros de "Jason Aaron" e arte de Marc Silvestri, a nova série irá abordar um Bruce Banner completamente enlouquecido. Aproveitando essa abordagem do Aaron, decidi relembrar algumas edições do Hulk em que o Banner já dava indícios, (que segundo o roterista "Peter David", isso ocorreu com Bruce desde sua juventude) dessa insanidade. Roteiristas como Peter David, "Paul Jenkins" e "Greg Pak" mantiveram essa abordagem, as edições mostraram momentos realmente muito interessantes e intensos por parte das atitude de Banner. No terceiro volúme de "The Incredible Hulk", Paul Jenkins em um tratamento intensivo decidiu explorar o subconsciente de Bruce Banner, mostrando que lá não há apenas inúmeras personalidades (Hulks) prontos para aflorar, como também um demônio interior de Banner, que destruiria tudo o que ele já amou. Banner desesperadamente, suplica ajuda ao Hulk, a personalidade...
