Inspired by the guest appearance of Lorelei and Lady Sif from Thor and news of a Hulk enemy joining Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’m inspired to think of a perfect nemesis for Agent Coulson and his squad.

 

Dr. Karla Sofen aka Moonstone!

 

The villain’s powers are derived from a Kree gravity stone bonded to her nervous system giving her super strength, flight, super speed, gravity manipulation, energy blasting powers and more. Continue reading Villain Wish For MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD

THUNDERBOLTS Justice Like Lightning!

  No courts. No jails. No problem.

  General Thunderbolt Ross (Red Hulk) recruits Elektra, Punisher, Venom and Deadpool to take on and take out Marvel’s most dangerous villains.

 Get ready for a brand new Thunderbolts #1 this week by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon.

  Way told Marvel.com his past experience with solo books is what drew him to this team concept.

  “My work on solo characters has probably been my strongest, and it’s definitely what I’m most comfortable writing. That being said, the idea—and the challenge—of writing a team book had been steadily moving to the front of my mind for several years. When I was presented with this team, in particular—a team of “lone wolf” characters—it was like a dream come true.”

  With this kind of roster and concept expect Way to be unleashed on this book.

  “This is the team that takes on the big problems others can’t or won’t. The easiest way to explain this is to look at the real world. Though there are atrocities committed all over the world, why is it the U.S. government intervenes in only some of these cases, rather than all? The reasons, sadly and invariably, are rooted in politics. The Thunderbolts have no politics. Of course, this being a comic book with an unlimited special effects budget, rest assured that any conflict into which this team enters will definitely be on the epic side of the scale. With this cast of characters? There’s no way I’m going to hold back.”

 Way delivers this tease making Thunderbolts #1 a book you can’t refuse.

 “By the time the first story arc concludes, the Thunderbolts will have done something that will have everyone—everyone—in the Marvel universe screaming for their blood. What that is and how it happens starts on the first page of the first issue.”

 How’s that for a tease?

Daniel Way. Steve Dillon. Lightning. December 2012. A new series in the crosshairs!

The second wave of Marvel NOW! is unleashed! Does this mean a brand new Thunderbolts?

Back in the day the original Thunderbolts series launched with the tagline “Justice, Like Lighting.”

The current T-bolts just became Dark Avengers under Jeff Parker.

In an earlier interview Way told Comics Newsarama he would be writing a team book.
