Women of Marvel #2
This second volume of Marvel's Women of Marvel series collects a range of stories spotlighting the company's female heroes and villains from the 1980s and early 1990s. Featured tales include Dazzler's solo adventures, the debut of Psylocke in the pages of Captain Britain, and key issues of The Uncanny X-Men focusing on Storm, Rogue, and Shadowcat, along with appearances by Spider-Woman and the Valkyrie-led team in The Defenders. The collection offers a snapshot of how Marvel's women were portrayed during a transformative era in comics, balancing super-heroics with personal drama.
In "Come On In... the Revolution's Fine!", Valkyrie arrives at Avengers HQ with a bold mission: rally Wasp and the Scarlet Witch into her all-female team, the Lady Liberators. With the male Avengers distracted at Tom Fagan's Halloween parade, the Masters of Evil strike — only to be swiftly defeated by the Lady Liberators, who prove their strength in a stunning display of unity. But when Valkyrie's true identity as the Enchantress is revealed, the heroes face a shocking betrayal, and the battle between genders escalates. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by John Buscema, with Tom Palmer on inks and colors, and a cover by Mike Mayhew and Terry Austin, this 2007 issue delivers a bold, character-driven clash with lasting consequences.
In "Professor Xavier Is a Jerk!", Kitty Pryde fights to stay part of the X-Men despite Xavier’s doubts, while Lockheed’s unexpected return brings both chaos and help against an alien threat. Scott Summers heads to Alaska, where he crosses paths with Madelyne Pryor, setting off a chain of events that tests loyalty and leaves the team’s future uncertain.
In a tense moment of leadership, Cyclops and Storm face off in a duel that shakes the foundation of the X-Men. As the team's future hangs in the balance, a sudden storm outside catches Maddie’s attention—odd, given the calm indoors. With Xavier stranded in space and the team on edge, the outcome of this clash will ripple through their lives.
When Wanda prepares to give birth, the gathering at the mansion is thrown into chaos as Wonder Man and Magneto must fend off uninvited intruders—Nekra and the Grim Reaper—while the arrival of twins surprises everyone, including the Scarlet Witch herself. With the Vision, Dr. Strange, Crystal, Glamor, Illusion, Holly Ladonna, Norm Webster, Wong, Martha Williams, Billy Williams, Tommy Williams, and Brady Kent all present, the moment becomes a tense, emotional climax that tests loyalties and defies expectations.
