Marvel Unlimited Back Catalog Adds Defenders, Gargoyle, and Uncanny Origins in December

Published Mon, 02 Dec 2019 16:00:05 -0600

Marvel has announced three more classic series getting new issues added to Marvel Unlimited in December. The best month of the year will see Defenders #138-151, Uncanny Origins #8-13, and Gargoyle #1-4 added to the collection of back issues available to read with a monthly subscription.

Defenders #138-151 features the latter part of the New Defenders in a run by Peter B. Gillis and Don Perlin published between 1984 and 1985. Oddly enough, the series' final issue, Defenders #152, is apparently not included. Maybe it will be added later? That issue killed off half the cast while the rest (Iceman, Angel, and Beast) headed off to form X-Factor, and Candy Southern went with them (and she'd eventually die in that series, fridged by Cameron Hodge). Despite his apparent death, Gargoyle's four-issue solo mini-series followed a few months later, by J.M. DeMatteis and Mark Badger.

Uncanny Origins #8-13 features art by Mark Campos for all but one issue, which is penciled by M. C. Wyman, with issues written by Bill Rosemann, Jim Alexander, Lysa Hawkins, Glenn Herdling, Len Wein, and Bob Budiansky, retelling the origins of Nightcrawler, Storm, Black Cat, Black Knight, Doctor Strange, and Daredevil.

In addition to those classic editions, the usual time-delayed new comics also hit the service in December, as listed below from the press release:
