Marvel has begun teasing their post-Fear Itself “event” series, The Fearless, which will presumably feature a somewhat rotating cast as well as an impressive creative team in what is ostensibly Marvel’s attempt at a 52-esque book (as pointed out by fellow MC writer Josh Mocle).
The three teasers we have now (two above, one below) feature Valkyrie fighting against the FF, the X-Men, Sin and the Avengers. We know from a previous teaser that Sin will be heavily involved, and part of the book will feature Valkyrie and Sin racing across the globe to collect the hammers in the wake of Fear Itself. However, one thing is clear — Valkyrie has a lot of ass to kick.
Marvel has apparently also released a seven-point pitch as to why readers should check out the title, as seen on Newsarama. The reasons are as follows:
1. The fate of the Asgardian hammers seen in Fear Itself — REVEALED!
2. A thrilling, yet desperate search for power across all the hidden corners of the Marvel Universe.
3. Valkyrie becomes the Marvel Universe’s most wanted fugitive, hunted by all the world’s super heroes.
4. Regaining her memories, Sin has the knowledge to activate the Serpent Doomsday Device.
5. Guest stars Galore: Avengers, Secret Avengers, the X-Men, Namor, the FF, Luke Cage and the Thunderbolts.
6. Fallen Son Rematch: Wolverine vs. Crossbones Round Two!
7. No hero leaves unscathed, including dramatic changes for Valkyrie as a result!
So I suppose if any of that strikes your fancy, you ought to check this book out.
The book has a pretty impressive line-up of talent, and will be written by Matt Fraction, Cullen Bunn and Chris Yost, with illustrations by Mark Bagley and Paul Belletier. The first issue goes on sale October 19th.
