Well, yes. Basically, he’s rehearsing his lines to try and talk to MJ about her recent attitude (not that anybody around pays any attention to him).

JD: Thanks. I just knew, when I mentioned that, that I had probably overlooked him somewhere. Did he have a speaking line?

Waiting for some elements of Moon Knight fandom to raise an objection to that comment about Nighthawk. ;-)

Re: Mary Jane…
Peter Parker appears for three panels on page 3.

Well, the Defenders IS the only Marvel title I’ve read all the way through, so I should be able to remember more of them. (I know, weird choice, but there it is.)

But yeah, I can’t see the Hulk making much use of a medical plan. Banner, though…

Johanna, You have me beat. I was thinking of the classic four Defenders. I had to look at Wikipedia to see the full membership list. Guess, this ends my career in Marvel snark.

Oh. Well, it’s kind of funny. And wouldn’t Nighthawk need some medical assistance, given that he’s a Marvel Batman?

Well, the Defenders question was meant to be sarcastic and rhetorical. I should have written it better to bring out those qualities. Even under that reading it might still be a bit fannish.

I love your Dr. Strange explanation, but the Defenders question is a bit too fannish for me. I don’t know why I draw the line between the two, but there it is.

Johanna, given the make-up and history of the Defenders, I find it odd that they have a health care plan. Who funds it? And does anyone other than Dr. Strange really need it?

I like the idea that Dr. Strange is human enough to case a spell to put his shirt on because he is still sore from his injuries and wants to avoid the discomfort of manually putting it back on.
