(2007-2008) Marvel Comics. Story by Matt Fraction. Art by Barry Kitson.
Sometime in the late 90s, a version of the Defenders became this shadow group known as the Order. There was a paradigm shift with a mix of good and evil all rolled into one. I really liked that story. It's why I held on to this book, thinking the two teams were related.
Only the name matches as this Order is a group of heroes are tasked with protecting the citizens of California. Springing out of the pages of Civil War, this Initiative group is undisciplined, unbalanced, and completely unlikable.
This book was a real disappointment. Matt Fraction is usually such a masterful storyteller. The Order that I read was a hodgepodge of forgettable characters, bureaucratic nonsense, and pseudo-science.
I won't be holding on to this.
Not Worth Consuming!
Rating: 3 out of 10 stars.
