    If you read Babs' topic ' What Is Heralds?,' you know a new book is coming out with a team up some some of Marvel's heroines (yes another one...). I have been looking at the solicit for this issue which leads me to some questions....

    Powerful forces are converging on Earth and the women of the Marvel Universe are at the center of it! Years ago, a herald of Galactus sacrificed her life for the universe. Little did anyone realize, a shred of that spirit lived on…and now she’s back for vengeance on those who abandoned her. The most powerful super heroines of the Marvel Universe must put aside their differences to stop this threat before the Earth is destroyed. Emma Frost, She-Hulk, Agent Abigail Brand, Hellcat, Valkyrie, Monica Rambeau, Sue Storm…these mighty women will be put to the test as never before, as cities are destroyed, families are torn apart, and a cosmic resurrection changes the heroes’ lives forever! Rated A …$2.99  

    The only female herald I know of is Frankie Raye (unless Stardust is a female, but Stardust is alive). I have been complaining for years to bring Frankie back.......but I don't think this is what I had in mind. This seems totally out of character for Frankie. Vengeful? Destructive? Bitter? Not my Frankie. And wouldn't Galactus or any of his heralds (practically all of them were there for her death) notice that something escaped or lingered? 
     
    What do you think? Could this be a herald of Galactus that we've never heard of? Or is Frankie back and it's been so long the writers have forgotten what she is really like? I have mixed emotions: I'm happy if she has returned but not happy if this is how they are going to ruin her character just to bring her back.

    As much as I want her back I kind of hope it's an unknown. Or Frankie's at least mind controlled or something. Also, I forgot about Plasma, another female, who was a herald in Heroes Reborn, but I doubt it's her.

    This could be interesting and I really don't have a problem if Frankie comes back with a vengeance.. after all death will change a person. I always did like how she was dead though and not just brought back, because she did sacrifice herself to save others, she had a noble death unlike most deaths in comics now a days. I wonder if she's making a full return or is it just for that issue/series?
