Characters: Defenders, Dr. Strange, Valkyrie, Nighthawk, Hellcat, Hulk, Clea, Ledge, Dollar Bill, Foolkiller II
Review: And now we’re out. And not a moment too soon considering the awkward perspective on the cover. So the heroes fight some more monsters, meet a wizard who talks like Yoda while predating him by about a year, and then Arisen Tyrk gets it all together (literally) and there’s a wizard battle. Cool. And then they all go home, Nighthawk taking the lead in his subplot for a change, and the next story arc is set up. All in a day’s work for the heroes. Pretty cool issue with the sword and sorcery stuff.
Comments: Part four of four parts. The Defenders return to Tunnelworld in issue #78 and stay for a long time. Final appearance of Lunatik in this book; he dies in MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #172 while another version of him continues; that guy has his own book: LUNATIK (1995). The Lunatiks sing “Come Together” by the Beatles but Clea gets to hear “A Whiter Shade of Pale” by Procol Harum. First appearance of Xhoohx; he returns in issues #81-82. This is the second Foolkiller, Gregory Salinger, introduced in OMEGA THE UNKNOWN #8-9. John Costanza did the lettering for page 1.
