The Avengers are no more when Secret Wars begins this May.

Long live A-Force!

Marvel announced a brand new book starring an all-female Avengers team within Secret Wars Warzones.

A-Force will be co-written G. Willow Wilson and Marguerite Bennett with artist Jorge Molina delivers a powerhouse team from across Marvel groups.

“She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and other fan favorites, will take charge,” said Wilson. “We’ve purposefully assembled a team composed of different characters from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies.” Continue reading MOST WANTED WOMEN For A-FORCE

After the box-office success of Thor I’m hoping Marvel will dive into its other mythological heroes and villains for future movies and television shows.

 

Here are 3 more God-like heroes WORTHY of consideration:

 

Hercules  Marvel’s Herc, Prince of Power was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of Journey Into Mystery. Continue reading Marvel Gods Worthy of Movies

Fearless Defenders is coming to an end. The all-female team book by Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney was missing from the Marvel January previews. Bunn, Sliney and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort confirmed the book will be cancelled after issue 12.

 

I wanted to share artist Will Sliney’s thoughts via his blog on the fan support for this book: Continue reading FEARLESS DEFENDERS Will End

FEARLESS DEFENDERS #8 Review

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 Continue reading FEARLESS DEFENDERS #8 Review

FEARLESS DEFENDERS New Mission

New mission and new look for a classic heroine in spectacular summer for fans of the women of Marvel!

 

X-Men starring an all-female squad by Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launched to critical and fan acclaim. Captain Marvel starred in a stunning crossover with Avengers Assemble by Kelly Sue DeConnick. The all-female heroes of Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn may not have inspired as much hype as X-Men but it’s definitely a book you should try out.

 

Valkyrie assembled Earth’s Mightiest Women into Asgard’s new Shieldmaidens. Cullen Bunn writes action and humor packed storylines as Val, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar raced across the globe in search of ancient relics while fighting Viking zombies and Doom Maidens and a wicked new villainess.

One of my favorite new books out now is Fearless Defenders. Valkyrie is assembling Earth’s Mightiest Women into Asgard’s new Shieldmaidens. Cullen Bunn writes action and humor packed storylines as Val, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar race across the globe in search of ancient relics while fighting Viking zombies and Doom Maidens and a wicked new villainess. Will Sliney’s art is a perfect fit and the clever covers by Mark Brooks deserve their own gallery show!

 

The team joins the army defending Earth against the forces of Thanos as part of the Infinity event Continue reading FEARLESS DEFENDERS Dance To INFINITY!

Warrior Woman Joins Fearless Defenders

Valkyrie is recruiting Earth’s finest females to become the new Shieldmaidens of Asgardia. Misty Knight and Valkyrie became a globe-trotting odd couple fighting Viking zombies in the premiere. Dani Moonstar and a sinister new enemy joined the action and Hela was raised in Fearless Defenders #2. The Death Goddess unleashed a reborn Warrior Woman in the final page!

Writer Cullen Bunn will keep building the roster as the rollercoaster ride continues.

“This is not a traditional team. They don’t have a headquarters. There’s a whole slew of characters who will pass in and out of the book. Valkyrie, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar are there for the long haul. It’s different from the average Marvel group book” explained Executive Editor Tom Brevoort.

Picking up from the last issue – a showdown with Hela in Asgardia Continue reading Warrior Woman Joins Fearless Defenders
