    Marvels been featuring alot more of Valkyrie in the past few years starting with minor cameo's, and a enjoyable one-shot, then small arcs like lady liberators in she-hulk and the begining issues of red hulk, then after seige she got a place on Steve Rogers new black ops secret avengers team, she still has a noticable part to play in the end of Fear Itself being one of the heroes who'll become a member of the "Mighty", and now she is being featured quite prominently in alot of teasers for marvel next pointless money eating event "Shattered Heroes" (rolls eyes)
     
    So heres my question, Is she gonna be marvels newest focus point for Marvel ladies? or is she gonna be fazed out into the background in the coming year.

    It's clear they're trying to make Valkyrie a bigger figure, which I'm so excited about, she's going to be a major figure in Shattered Heroes and hopefully people will start noticing her more

    Well that time in the spotlight was certainty short lived :S unfortunately. She's been one of my favorite characters since first picking up a random issue of The Defenders when I was a kid. Loved The Fearless arc along with The Doom Maidens story, though the last six issues on The Fearless Defenders left a lot to be desired, too many characters and lacking cohesion. I didn't care at all for the decision to link her and Annabelle Riggs, as though Valkyrie can't be interesting without being tied to a mortal host, though I suspect it was an attempt to make her character openly gay to appeal to LGBT readers, could be wrong but it was the impression I got. Anyway been wondering what happened with her after Fearless Defenders was shelved, seems she's just been completely forgotten.
