Charles Soule made Hellcat part of Jennifer Walters team in the now cancelled She-Hulk series.

Like cats – I’m asking for one more life for this character. Continue reading RAISE HELLCAT On NATIONAL CAT DAY

  Valkyrie and Misty Knight will lead a brand new Fearless Defenders. The new Marvel Now book by Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney will feature an all-female team. Earlier this week Bunn confirmed Dani Moonstar and a new character named Hippolyta will join the team.

  As you may have read before on here I’m a huge fan of Valkyrie’s old teammate from the 1970’s Defenders and I have wanted Marvel to raise Hellcat! This week on Twitter @Marvel and @cullenbunn asked fans who we hope Valkyrie recruits? Yours truly, ComicsBlendWill of course responded Hellcat! Bunn’s response: “You won’t have long to wait.”
