My only problem is them acting in the interview like this isn't synergy, it's just a big coincidence like always(every time they do this they say it's not synergy).

As for the team, this doesn't seem to be similar in statement to the old Defenders books anyway, it's a team of street level heroes, probably dealing similar villains, just using the same name, kinda of like the Champions. I wouldn't really mind if these teams had some members on them that were also in their previous incarnations. Like, if Hellcat or Nighthawk joined this New Defenders or Past Iceman joined the Champions. Considering Trish and Jessica's relationship in the MCU, I wouldn't be surprised if Patsy joined Jessica on the Defenders once Trish becomes Hellcat.

Anyways, synergy or not, I'm excited for this title.

We've had Agents of SHIELD and Operation SIN and now we have The Defenders. Hopefully we get a new Runaways and Cloak and Dagger series to tie into their shows as well.
