I am loving Fear Itself: The Fearless and the latest chapter only pumped up my enthusiasm for this series. Valkyrie has gone rogue with the Avengers in pursuit. The Asgardian warrior woman is racing around the world against the evil forces of Sin to recover the mystical weapons in the aftermath of Fear Itself.
This series is a showcase for one of the most underrated characters in the Marvel Universe. The writers show Valkyrie in action against her own teammates, pivotal moments from her life in Asgard as Odin’s shieldmaiden and emotional moments on Earth during the Fear Itself crisis. I’m thrilled to see this character get the spotlight she deserves.
Cullen Bun is scripting from a story developed by Matt Fraction, Chris Yost and himself. Paul Pelletier and Mark Bagley provide the art while Arthur Adams continues to deliver one awesome cover after another of action and monsters.
This issue features the Avengers in what looks like a flashback from the X-Men Inferno epic, a bloody showdown between Wolverine and Crossbones, a huge betrayal and new alliance of evil.
I just can’t wait for what I hope is a Valkyrie/Sin throwdown. Teasers say Valkyrie will raid the X-Men’s home base next. You can browse all the issues so far at this Marvel.com link.
