Valkyrie is recruiting Earth’s finest females to become the new Shieldmaidens of Asgardia. Misty Knight and Valkyrie became a globe-trotting odd couple fighting Viking zombies in the premiere. Dani Moonstar and a sinister new enemy joined the action and Hela was raised in Fearless Defenders #2. The Death Goddess unleashed a reborn Warrior Woman in the final page!
Writer Cullen Bunn will keep building the roster as the rollercoaster ride continues.
“This is not a traditional team. They don’t have a headquarters. There’s a whole slew of characters who will pass in and out of the book. Valkyrie, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar are there for the long haul. It’s different from the average Marvel group book” explained Executive Editor Tom Brevoort.

It’s Hunting Season in New York City! Logan is tracking dangerous prey: a child?
Paul Cornell and Alan Davis launched a brand new Wolverine series last month.
A young boy is running around New York City in possession of a powerful weapon and the child may be possessed. What will Logan do to stop the kid?
Here’s what Cornell says about this first arc:
“James is involved in a hostage situation in the heart of New York, which spirals into an action-movie chase with him pursuing…he has no idea, and neither do we. It’s something absolutely disciplined, ruthless, and absolutely unconcerned with harming innocents. James has to do something not very nice in front of one such innocent. He’s damned if he’s going to let it happen again.”
Wolverine’s adventures have taken him around the world, into space and across timestreams but Cornell told Marvel.com he plans to keep the X-Man grounded in the new series.
“I like him at street level, but the rather startling guest star that shows up at the end of issue #2 should indicate we’ve got our eye on the wider Marvel Universe too. Street is an interesting place for him to be, because it’s not quite the default, which is surely forest. We’re aiming for a title which actually does introduce him to new readers, while touching only very lightly on his history for those Continue reading Wolverine #2 Preview

Cameras are rolling on Captain America: The Winter Soldier! Chris Evans reprises his role as Steve Rogers in Cap’s first solo movie mission in the modern age. Marvel shared this first photo from the set. The sequel is based on the storyline by Ed Brubaker. This is the story that made me a hardcore Cap fan all over again.
Here’s the official Marvel description:
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier will pick-up where Marvel’s The Avengers left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff , a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.”
Cobie Smulders reprises her role as SHIELD agent Maria Hill.
Joining the Marvel cinematic universe are: Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Frank Grillo as Crossbones, Georges St. Piere as Batroc and Emily Van Camp as Agent 13 (in the comics this is Cap’s modern day girlfriend Sharon Carter.)
