She gets a few panels, maybe a page or two, each issue to do her thing. In the Ellis Thunderbolts run, all she did was bitch to Osborn in his office for a page per issue, so the new approach may be a step up. The last page reveals in this week's Dark Avengers AND Iron Man could be what move us into the next big Marvel-wide story arc, actually tying together various loose ends--Spidey's marriage, lingering Civil/Secret War fallout, Thor in exile, etc. Some payoff on those points for the fans who have let Bendis and co spin our heads in every odd direction for the past few years would be nice.

It's pretty ridiculous. And pretty unbelievable considering who it is. I mean she slept with Marvel the only actual good guy on the team and then Daken which could be credited to an attraction or Daken using his powers, but seriously this next selection is out of character. But that's females in the marvel u I totally agree on the moonstone thing. It’s pretty ridiculous. And pretty unbelievable considering who it is.
