An all-different Valkyrie and always badass Misty Knight welcome a new lethal lady to the team in Fearless Defenders #8 by Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney with another stunning Mark Brooks cover showing off Val’s new uniform.

 

The trio of Valkyrie, Misty and Dr. Annabelle Riggs (along with Dani Moonstar and Hippolyta) triumphed in their first arc but with a terrible price. Annabelle died by a possessed Valkyrie and now the two share a body. The dueling duality is another great twist by Bunn that provides more drama and humor to this team.

 

Nextwave fans will be thrilled to see Elsa Bloodstone has been recruited by Misty for their new arc and latest mystery. Elsa has the same big hair, big attitude, big gun and fits right in with Val and Misty. The famous monster hunter is trying to help solve a brutal series of Chinatown murders. The trail leads the Defenders into an underground chamber of horrors and twisted science involving classic alien boogeymen, a strange villainess right out of Big Trouble in Little China and leading back to the ultimate enemy that’s been targeting our Defenders since the premiere.

 

Fearless Defenders #8 is a thrilling, funny new arc with fast-paced, inventive storytelling that keeps you excited, laughing and guessing what’s next.
