Defenders #84, titled “Battle Royal!”, transports us to a post-adventure celebration in Namor’s undersea palace. Picture it: the Defenders, decked out in their finest capes and cowls, sipping on seaweed smoothies and doing the Electric Slide. But wait! A misunderstanding erupts, and suddenly, Wakanda and Atlantis are at each other’s throats. It’s like a cosmic game of musical chairs, but with tridents and vibranium disco balls
The creative team behind this aquatic showdown includes writer Ed Hannigan, who probably brainstormed underwater. Don Perlin provided the breakdowns, while Tex Blaisdell added the finishing touches. The cover? Oh, that’s a masterpiece by Rich Buckler, with inks by Al Milgrom.
