and two high-profile female characters will play major roles in our upcoming event.

Well next event is the PF or Cosmic Turkey event so I assume hope is one.

Still last Axel-in-Charge showed huge differences in thoughts on who major players are so I take this with a grain of salt.

All in all this interview was more useless then usual. But hey preview art.

"Strong female character" is such a strange phrase— bizarrely loaded yet totally meaningless.

I wish we could keep... thoughtlessly regurgitating it.

The Punisher preview art looks great.

They should try Ms. Marvel again - she has the company's name, a great costume, and she's an Avenger. Give her a giant conspiracy to fight (something honestly important) and throw somebody like Warren Ellis on it with a top tier artist.

I assume we'll get some Jessica Jones stuff when the show comes out...

An Ellis written Ms. Marvel would be great.

Math is Hard. Still what did u expect him to say? we usually get lies and half truths so its not a surprise.

Alonso: There are no plans for a Songbird series, but a couple of female characters have been the subject of discussion for new series. But strong female characters abound in the Marvel Universe: Valkyrie and Sin headline "Fear Itself: The Fearless," Hope is the lead character in [the X-Men series] "Generation Hope," Rogue is the lead character in "X-Men: Legacy," Emma Frost, Storm, Magik, Pyslocke, Jubilee and Danger are key players in "Uncanny X-Men" and "Uncanny X-Force," and two high-profile female characters will play major roles in our upcoming event.

Love it so the answer is there are females in some of out books.

Wake me up Mavel when you manage Batwoman, Wonder Woman or Batgirl numbers for a solo female book. Oh wait you have none. Well damn.

Those aren't the sales of Daredevil for one.

Also, it doesn't seem to include 2nd prints.

You lose again it seems! Not that it will stop you.

lol also Jubilee is not in Uncanny X-men.

Now you know that's not a fair benchmark. Even if Marvel DID reboot their universe at $2.99, they probably wouldn't hit the sales numbers DC has solely because DC did it first.

well then instead of taunting posters perhaps u could provide a trustworthy source for these trending upward sales. I mean we have to rely on what we get from Diamond. I am sure u have something better though.

Depends on how many years they wait.
