Bellona

Bellona burst onto the Marvel scene in 2017, debuting in the pages of Wolverine and Deadpool — a chaotic, irreverent corner of the Modern Age that's a fitting birthplace for a character with real edge. Created by Tom Taylor and David López, she's a relatively rare presence in the catalog, but her appearances carry weight: one of her five issues is already recognized as a key, a remarkable ratio that signals she matters. She's since migrated into the gritty street-level world of Daredevil: Gang War, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Elektra Natchios — formidable company that speaks to where Marvel has chosen to place her. For collectors hunting underexposed Modern Age characters with real upside, Bellona is exactly the kind of find worth tracking down now.
