I love Marvel‘s fantasy comics, from the old Conan books to the triumphant return of Thor during the J. Michael Straczynski run. Putting Asgardian warriors and ancient gods in the present time can be tricky without repeating the ’man out of time’ story told in so many genres.
Here Bryan J.L. Glass handles the task perfectly while seamlessly filling in the missing gaps of where Brunhilde AKA Valkyrie has been and making amends for some of the terrible incarnations this poor psychosis suffering woman has had to endure. Recently the devilish Loki’s attack on Asgard killed Brunhilde during the events of Ragnarok.
This one shot takes place between the Avengers Disassembled event of (2004) and the more recent Secret Invasion (2008). If you’re reading Secret Avengers this gives you a look into the resurrection of a character with such a great history from the Defenders to a big part in the pages of Thor, there are some great answers in this book. Complete your ‘Women of Marvel’ collection and get to know a Secret Avenger.
