The fates of Maria Hill and Victoria Hand, post-Siege

[queenursula]

From CBR:
With that in mind, each character plays an important role in the book, such as Sharon Carter being the liason who runs operations for the Secret Avengers, often coordinating the team as they go on their missions. "She's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. From the first moment we met her, her elderly aunt was a secret Agent from World War II, and Sharon followed in her steps to become a secret agent. Even from those early days, she and Steve had problems because in the '60s – well, I don't recommend a lot of women go back and read '60s superhero comics because they're fairly offensive. There's a lot of scenes of Reed Richards going, 'You wouldn't understand, Sue. You're just a woman!' And [back then] Steve wanted Sharon to retire from S.H.I.E.L.D. and she never would. She always chose the job over him, which I thought was so cool. She's pretty kick ass.

"Interestingly, [her role] fits in with how Brian is running Avengers and New Avengers. Both those teams are under the purview of Maria Hill and Victoria Hand. It's like 'Steve's Angels.' I think Steve Wacker called it that. Three hot ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who are each in charge of a different Avengers team."

Hand's looking like Sarah Palin in that picture there

[cleome45]

Every female in glasses looks like Palin now?

Uhhhh... :/

[stubbleupdate]

She doesn't. I know that she looks like somebody, but it isn't Palin.

[seriousfic]

Janeane Garofalo?

[crabby_lioness]

OMG someone get that woman to a hospital pronto!

[stubbleupdate]

Why?

[crabby_lioness]

She looks seriously ill.

[valtyr]

She looks like a rather tired woman in her forties having a candid photo taken.

EDIT: oops, sorry, this is a really old comment I replied to here...

[crabby_lioness]

No problem, I leave comments to old posts myself sometimes. :)

[punishermax]

The Baroness?

[darkblade]

You mean Palin isn't the Baroness with bleached hair and over compensating with her attempts to apear American?

[crabby_lioness]

The Baroness has more class.

[halloweenjack]

In Palin's dreams, maybe.

Oh God, why does this appeal to me so much. :(

[akodo_rokku]

Because it's awesome?

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Because it's hard to go wrong with three hot chicks?

[terrykun]

Who could kill you with their pinkies.

[halloweenjack]

Especially when they get together to "talk business", awwww yeeeeeaaaaah.

[punishermax]

Because if that's wrong I don't wanna be right?

[abagnale008]

No, no, no...not Steve's Angels, It's Steve's Avengers :P

[protogarrett]

Yay! I love Victoria Hand.

[sir_razorback]

Have they reconciled the whole "You tried to have me arrested before there was a law, and I had to ride out on top of an F-15, thus touching off the whole Civil War everyone was trying to avoid" thing yet?

[arilou_skiff]

They reconciled that when she shot a rocket launcher while leaping from a truck at Osborn.

[euthanatos]

thank you, bendis.

[jaybee3]

I know Victoria Hand is basically just a kick-a$$ bureaucrat but I have to wonder after basically being Norman Osborne's Girl Friday how anyone will trust her (unless they give her the same treatment they gave Tony - and she remembers nothing she did).

[colonel_green]

Maybe she does something important in Siege #4?

[stubbleupdate]

Have you been reading her in Dark Avengers?

This

[roguefankc]

And not just her; Maria Hill is one person I wouldn't trust even if I had to pick between the choice of relying on her as a backup partner or going solo.

I hope Marvel shows that the heroes aren't going to automatically depend on them; if anything, I expect fights and disagreements and refusing to recognize either of them as in charge.

You can't have them do all that rotten stuff in the past and then refuse to acknowledge it. It's called sloppy writing.

[mechanicaljewel]

So basically they're trying to turn Steve Rogers into Nick Fury.

Those two are my favorite characters in the Marvel U. LET THEM BE THEMSELVES >:(

[badficwriter]

Eh, it's just a change-up. Won't last.

Marvel just doesn't want my money anymore, do they?

[big_daddy_d]

I happen to have a love for Ms. Hand. As for Maria, I said this once before. I HATED that woman. I thought her as the Queen B of Marvel, being even worst than Emma (yes I said it.) But thanks to the Invincible Iron Man series.. I surprisingly find myself starting to like her.

[alienist]

Huh. I thought Maria proved herself to be a far better field agent than director.

[phosfate]

Pretty much everyone in Marvel is a better field agent than director.

[alienist]

This is a fair point.

[sun_man]

I have hated Maria Hill since New Avengers
