New mission and new look for a classic heroine in spectacular summer for fans of the women of Marvel!

 

X-Men starring an all-female squad by Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launched to critical and fan acclaim. Captain Marvel starred in a stunning crossover with Avengers Assemble by Kelly Sue DeConnick. The all-female heroes of Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn may not have inspired as much hype as X-Men but it’s definitely a book you should try out.

 

Valkyrie assembled Earth’s Mightiest Women into Asgard’s new Shieldmaidens. Cullen Bunn writes action and humor packed storylines as Val, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar raced across the globe in search of ancient relics while fighting Viking zombies and Doom Maidens and a wicked new villainess.

It’s history in the remaking!

 

Here’s a sneak preview of Archer & Armstrong #12 by Fred Van Lente and Pere Perez!

 

“The battle for control of the time-lost land of the Faraway starts now, as General Alphonse Redacted charges into battle with his 500 Shades of Greys!
If General Redacted wins the Faraway, he’ll use its centuries-old secrets to stamp out the heathen collectivist Bolsheviks of modern day America. Now, it’s down to Archer, Armstrong, and Mary-Maria, Archer’s assassin stepsister/love interest (ew), to run the greatest infiltration/liberation/inebriation mission mankind has ever known. Which would be a cakewalk if its wasn’t for all the trigger-happy UFOs, hostile natives and, of course, the dinosaurs… Yep, they could definitely do without all those dinosaurs.” Continue reading ARCHER & ARMSTRONG Preview

The Avengers will fight the mysterious Builders and Thanos in a two-front war. The cosmic clash will rumble across the Marvel Universe and I couldn’t help but think of a cosmic force that once wiped out Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in their own headquarters!

 

My first Avengers issue freaked me out as a kid because just look at the cover! Continue reading Friday Flashback: Dead Avengers!
