No Mudir here

Couldn't find Gambit and the X-Ternals at my FLCS, but the owner says he'll check his yet-to-be-organized backstock for me. So I bought $30 of Defenders instead. X3 I jumped all around, I have the beginning and the near-end (before Manhunter, so, basically the end of Cloud). I'm kinda happy about this. *bounces* I'll let you know how it goes.

Is Defenders the really wacky one with Beast, Angel and Iceman in it?

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Yes! Although so far no Angel, but Val and Moondragon have been seen, Isaac, Hank and Bobby are having dinner with Wanda and the Vision, Cloud attacked, and Namor, Silver Surfer, Hulk and Dr. Strange are wandering through time with a mouthy elf.

I laughed a little too hard at Namor lunging at the elf, and Hulk catching him and talking him down. After which Namor makes hilarious grumpy faces in the background.

It sounds like they were hilariously goofy in this series...

They were hilariously goofy from inception to 90s. Even when they had serious moments. Even when Warren, Scott, and Jean were screaming at each other, Bobby and Hank expressed their displeasure and concern by making hilarious "OH NO the adults are FIGHTING! D:" faces.

*hugs them*

They mock because they love.

Seriously, why is only Jeff Parker using Bobby and Hank as Bobby&Hank, huh? They're a great team, for comedy or drama, and none of the main titles are using them for that!

Do they ever mock. I read through all the issues I'd bought, and then I went back and started transcribing my favourite parts. I have several pages now. ._.

Example: (all of these are whispered at Patsy and Daimon's wedding)
Isaac & Brunnhilda: *both mopping at their faces with hankies*
Hank: *also brandishing hankie* How can you two joke... *sniff* ...at a time like this?
Bobby: *pulling out hankie* Cut it out, Hank! You know it... *sniff* ...doesn't take much to start me bawling!
Warren: *arms crossed and grinning at Bobby* As I recall, you went through three boxes of Kleenex when we watched "Still the Beaver".

Which reminds me, I have to find out what the hell that is.

I know! *flail* I mean, obviously Warren can't slot into their Three Musketeers act like he used to after Hodge screwed him over like he did and all the repercussions there (Candy dead, Warren changed by Apocalypse, etc.) but man I miss them.

Bobby: Hey -- remember that time at shcool when we snuck into Scott's room in the middle of the night and did our Rockettes routine?
Warren: Could I ever forget?
Hank: All together now! One, two, three... kick! One, two, three... kick!
