Sif (Jaime Alexander) thundered into this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in pursuit of the seductive Lorelei – a renegade Asgardian on Earth.

 

It’s the second citizen from Thor’s realm to appear on the series. Peter MacNichol played Dr. Elliot Randolph in an episode set in the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World. Randolph turned out to be an ancient Asgardian who’d been living on Midgard for years.

 

Sif’s spectacular guest appearance inspired this wish list of more enemies from Thor’s world who could appear on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or in THOR 3. Continue reading More Villains For THOR and AGENTS OF SHIELD

And Valkyrie kissed a girl and we liked it.

Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney throw New Mutant Dani Moonstar into the action in this week’s second issue. No powers. No problem. Dani shows why she’s still a formidable female and worthy of becoming a Shieldmaiden – if the new mystery villain Continue reading Fearless Defenders #2 My View

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 Continue reading Dani Moonstar Joins Fearless Defenders
