I’m pretty sure the whole reason for this title was to get all these women together to kick some butt. Not that I’m really complaining because it actually comes together quite well.
Valkyrie leads the Doom Maidens fair away to a remote location and starts to fight, then Misty shows up with twelve potential Shield Maidens including Storm, Danvers, She-Hulk, Black Cat, and Elektra. This could have been really cheesy and bad, but the whole thing is handled quite well. They all have different reasons for being there, from helping a friend to thinking they were going to get paid. This is really important because, well, Shield Maidens are women, it’s a role that is defined by gender. Having them all vary with legitimate and gender neutral reasons keeps this from turning into a groan-worthy trope of ‘I am woman, hear me roar!’.
Instead, it’s just a bunch of heroes wrecking the enemy, they just all happen to be female.
Unfortunately though, Valkyrie has given into her Doom-side… and this might not end well for all involved.
