Last Defenders interview

Last Defenders #1Last Defenders #1Comic Book Resources has an interview with Marvel's Joe Casey about the upcoming Last Defenders release. According to Casey, Last Defenders will be "pulling heroes from all corners of the Marvel Universe":

There is only one returning Defender in the line-up of “The Last Defenders,” but his teammates will all be familiar to Marvel fans. The returning Defender and team leader is Nighthawk AKA Kyle Richmond, and his teammates are Colossus of the X-Men; She-Hulk, formerly of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers; and the Blazing Skull, a member of the now defunct Invaders.

From the excellent Jim Muniz preview art shown at CBR and Casey's record of producing interesting comics, I have high hopes for Last Defenders.
