I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

The Defenders Vol 1: Diamonds Are Forever by Brian Michael Bendis (Writer)., David Marquez (Artist), Justin Poonsor (Colorist), VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)


Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Matt Murdoch all get attacked by a man named Diamondback who is supposed to be dead.  They get together and figure out who has done this and head out into the city to find him.  Luke Cage finds him first and gets poisoned while at Black Cat's place and left to die. Black Cat takes him to the local clinic.  Blade shows up with an antidote and he administers it; When Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones go after Diamondback together The Punisher shoots Jessica Jones.

You learn the history of Diamondback or Willis, and Carl Lucus, or Luke Cage, who ran with a group called the Rivals.  Then a girl came along, Reva Connors who claimed to like them both.  She rejected Diamondback for Cage and it drove him wild.  Diamondback planted diamonds on Lucus and it sent him to jail where he was experimented on.  When the mob found out about the diamonds they killed the woman in retaliation.  When Cage got out of jail he couldn't forgive Diamondback.

How is Diamondback alive? And where do Black Cat and The Punisher's loyalty lie?  This is a very interesting book that shows how the superheroes come together to form the Defenders of New York City much like the Avengers take care of Earth.  I really liked this book and I give it five out of five stars.
