The Secret Avengers Gets A New Make Over

The Secret Avengers is getting a makeover this Feburary starting with it's Point One Initiative issue, #21.1, following that, issue #22 everything starts to take shape and form.

Marvel has announced that the Secret Avengers will be losing members but also gaining new ones. Issue #21.1 will bring about the appearance of a newly formed Masters of Evil. Issue #22 is to start a new arc for the newly formed Secret Avengers in which the bad guys are hyper evolved descendants of the Super Adaptoid, the android A.I.M created by putting a shard of the cosmic cube inside of him to take out the Avengers.

The new team will have some cross overs with Venom and Uncanny X-Force, especially with Uncanny X-Force #5.1, no details were given about that though.

For those wondering, the new team will consist of Hawkeye leading Black Widow, Ant-Man, Beast, Venom (Eddie Brock's Venom suit), Valkyrie, Captain Britain and a man who resembled the Human Torch. Now the guy who looks like the Human Torch can either be the original Human Torch or Johnny Storm, my guess is that it's going to be the original, Jim Hammon, that or it's Toro.

Issue 21.1 with have Rick Remender as the writer and Patrick Zircher as the illustrator. Then issue 22 will include Gabriel Hardman joining Remender.

Valkyie Takes On The Heroes Of Earth In Fear Itself: The Fearless

Today and yesterday, Marvel has released teaser images for Fear Itself: The Fearless, an unknown Fear Itself tie-in that seems to be focusing on Valkyrie as she takes on the heroes of Earth.

The first one features Valkyrie taking on the Future Foundation with the words "Defeath the FF! Save the world."

Not much is known at the moment, such as, why is Valkyrie taking on the FF? The Thing looks like he is no longer possessed by Angrir.

The other image Marvel released today features, once again, Valkyrie taking on heroes. The heroes in question are Storm and Mirage with words spread out across the pictures saying "Invade Utopia! Save the world."

Valkyrie is definitely the focus of attention in this series, but why is she attacking other heroes? I found an image that relates to the series though. It features Valkyrie and Sin side by side armed with their own weapons. The only thing we know for sure is that the one where Valkyrie takes on the X-Men is to be released on October and Fear Itself: The Fearless #4 & #5 are to be released this December.
