Birth of the Defiant Universe was a one-shot presented to retailers
at the 6th annual Capital City sales conference. It was touted as
being the most expensive comic book format publication for it's time.
It features a translucent paper overlay which wraps a card stock
cover. High gloss heavy stock paper was used throughout. These were
signed by Jim Shooter and limited to only 1000 copies. The comics
were given to retailers with an envelope and a pair of white gloves.
The envelope features a letter which states "DEFIANT! THE GLOVES ARE
OFF! (But put these on to preserve this incredible collectors'
item!)". In this promotional publication it has the characters of
the Defiant Universe introduce themselves in first person dialogue.
It has an introduction to the Defiant Universe and it lists the
upcoming titles including Truth and Beauty and Mongrel which were
never published. Contary to some online reports, this material was
not reprinted. It is not the same content which was published in
Defiant Genesis.
