Dani Moonstar Joins Fearless Defenders

New Mutant Dani Moonstar joins Marvel’s new team book in Fearless Defenders #2 this week. Talk about action figures – check out Mark Brooks’s clever cover!

Dani was once a Valkyrie. I wanted to share part of writer Cullen Bunn’s recent interview teasing more female favorites joining the series:

“The basic idea of the book is that Valkyrie is choosing a new team of Valkyrior, and she’s been asked to choose all these women from the heroes of Midgard, instead of from Asgard. She has completely failed in this task. [Laughs.] Valkyrie has been unable to choose anyone that she feels is worthy to be one of the hosts of the shield maidens. So she just hasn’t done it. She’s dropped the ball,” Bunn tells ComicsNewsarama.

“Because she’s not done what she said she would do, nature — or supernature, as it is — abhors a vacuum. The absence of the Valkyrior has opened the door to something terrible. Something awful is waking, and Valkyrie finds that it’s really her fault that she’s put everything at risk.”

Mark Brooks provides covers like you see above. Check out Will Sliney’s interior art from this week’s second issue below with Dani back in action:

Viking zombie ghosts, Misty Knight’s martial arts, Valkyrie’s sword play and that girl on Goddess kiss! That’s what you missed if you didn’t pick up Fearless Defenders #1!

Here’s what you need to know:

Misty Knight, hero for hire and private investigator, is on a job recovering Asgardian relics.

Valkyrie is choosing a new team of Valkyrior. The new warrior Goddesses of Asgard will come from Midgard (Earth) instead of Asgard.

Dani Moonstar once became a Valkyrie (even had the winged horse) and gained magical powers after adventures in Asgard.

Dani even made a deal with the (she) Devil! Dani bargained with Hela to summon her mystical powers to defeat Ares. The Norse Goddess of Death appears in the next issue too!

Adding Dani to the odd couple of street smart Misty and noble Valkyrie will make this book’s chemistry even better!

Fearless Defenders #2 arrives this week. Grab it!
