	Heroes come together in all kinds of ways. The Fantastic Four wanted to see space, the Avengers assembled thanks to a Loki-altered Teen Brigade radio message and the women in the upcoming weekly five-issue limited series HERALDS must team to address to a cosmic threat circumstances and fate drop in their collective lap. Emma Frost, She-Hulk, Hellcat, Valkyrie, Monica Rambeau and Abigail Brand will be teaming up to take on a long-lost herald of Galactus who's returning to Earth and looking for revenge on the people she thinks abandoned her. "When [editor] Jeanine [Schaefer] and I first started talking about this project, we started throwing out names of female characters that we were either interested in taking a look at, or who fit certain parameters in terms of the story we were discussing," explains Immonen. "For me, Hellcat was always top of the list. Beyond that though, it ranged from the obscure to the obvious. And what we ended up with is a group that, on balance, is not Sketch art by Tonci Zonjic well-acquainted. One of my all time favorite relationships is Hellcat and Valkyrie, but it's a Valkyrie that doesn't exist any more. That can't be easy for either of them. In the end, I think we succeeded in coming up with a group that is well-balanced in terms of their personalities and powers, [which] embraces the slightly goofy and the completely glorious, and is built to defeat both expectations and violent attackers." But HERALDS doesn't solely revolve around heroes doing battle with Power Cosmic-imbued revenge-seekers, there's also a human aspect to the story which Immonen enjoyed equally. "[There is] a roadside diner waitress who's going to have to learn to fight above her weight whether she wants to or not and right now it's a resounding not," she says. "She's quickly become a favorite of mine. I think, at the heart of this series, are issues involving how we change over time-by choice or by chance-and what that does to the people who love us. And how the move into and out of the super-powered life is characterized as much by what you lose as what you gain." HERALDS black and whit preview art by Tonci Zonjic With such a variety of subject matter from the everyday to the cosmic, Immonen needed an artist who could handle such diverse subject matter. Tonci Zonjic fulfills and exceeds all the requirements. "I'm a huge fan of his," Immonen expresses. "I really liked his work on MARVEL DIVAS and was all over it when Jeanine said he was on board. The conversation he and I are having is all on the page and the result is gorgeous and lively. I guess it's working out!"

Mme Immonen avec Tonji Zonjic : banco !

Excellent dessinateur, dont on ne voit là qu'une petite partie du talent (comme on le découvre sur son blog, c'est aussi un fabuleux portraitiste).

Décidément j'aime beaucoup cet artiste

[nicoalk13]

trés classe.

[blazman]

j'ai du louper qq chose, c est que ce délire avec les moustaches...?

[Fin Fang Foom]

Le titre me fait penser à l'album des Cocteau Twins. Est-ce voulu ou bien c'est une expression qu'utilisent les américains ?

[emix6]

J'ai beaucoup aimé ses "Marvel Divas" et suis également conquis ici, je serais donc de l'aventure "Heralds" !

[Gassian]

Une "aventure" hebdomadaire sur les 5 semaines à venir.
Heureusement que c'est une (des rares) mini à 2.99.

Zonjic est vraiment un artiste enthousiasmant - dans la veine d'un Pulido - et le scénar a l'air jubilatoire - Mme Immonen s'amuse visiblement.
