------Now Vance.... I agree with you, but WHY you gotta bring up fearless defenders... I swear you have got to be a Sagittarius, Aries, or Virgo. Fearless Defenders... ughh.. I love and loathe it at the same time. Great Cast with cute moments-- but why is Fearless Defenders So LAME!?? I had such high hopes for that series... Fire the writer and artist and change it to someone like Brain K Vaghn immediately!! I will be ticked if Marvel ruins Fearless Defenders by tossing it away to some lame writer.
At any rate-- I always support Misty Knight and Mirage/Dani-- No matter how lame the story is. :)
I still hold a grudge towards Valk for uppercutting Storm in the face with a hammer. >_>
I brought up Fearless Defenders because it's also an all female team. That makes two books with the same gimmick. So far it's done fairly well. Maybe people are just giving a try now because they are skeptical and it's new but I hope that when this book comes out one doesn't over shadow the other. I think these two books will me instrumental in making female heroes more popular. Also Storm will possibly appear in Fearless Defenders.Brian K. Vaughn as far as i'm concerned has done a good job so far, Marvel will only fire him if the sales get really bad or they will just cancel the book.
As far as Valkyrie hitting Storm with that hammer. That probably shouldn't have happened in a fight between them but considering what series it happened it, I wouldn't put to much thought into it because they made EVERYONE look bad.
Of course you would say that ;) You may be right though.
As for FD and X-men overshadowing each other, I don't think that will happen. The way I see it, it's like Avengers & X-men. Fearless Defenders has an Avengers/Shield-like field and X-men... well has an X-men-like feel. lol The only thing really hurting either of them, is like you said 'the gimmick' quality. Imo, I thought FD #1&2 were lame. I guess I was expecting something like daughters of the dragon or heroes for hire. #3, things started to pick up and become a bit more enjoyable.
The reason I have more faith in X-men is:
1) It's X-men
2) The line up has all fan-favorites
3) The art cover & inside is beautiful.
4) Brian Wood has been writing X-men for a little while now and really has done major justice for Storm & Colossus. I believe he has written Rachel well in Wolverine the X-men and he did good with her from what I remember.
5) This team looks so iconic. If X-men are known for one thing, it's having some of the best women of Marvel. Put them together and at the very minimum, we got a bunch of shots of them looking hot together-- and who has ever had a problem with that? Besides I have faith in Wood to write a good story! :D
6) My only worry is the plot is said to center around a baby. All these ladies and a baby sounds like X-girls baby sitting.. Especially since we have a baby sitting plot in uncanny x-force.
I will still pick up Fearless Defenders, let's just hope this series steps up it's game a bit more.
& Now that you mention it, didn't Valk beat up War Machine too?
