Marvel will be trying their hand with a different medium and will be coming out with Heroine-Centered Novels this June. (Yeheeeeey!!!)
The first two novels will feature The She-Hulk and Rogue. Hyperion Books is joining Marvel with this project. The announcement came in today, Hyperion's Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Dyssegaard made the announcement and this is what she had to say about the deal:
"Marvel has had tremendous success with recent hit movies and we think it's a great time to explore what happens to super heroines when they are dropped into traditional women's novels."
From the Marvel front, Ruwan Jayatilleke, Associate Publishers/SVP, Marvel Entertainment has said that: "It's exciting to see Hyperion bring two of our most beloved female super heroes, Rogue and She-Hulk to life in ways you've never seen before. Whether you're a long time fan of Marvel or new to super heroes, these novels deliver exciting stories that will capture your imagination".
Both novels promise to feature 'strong, smart heroines seeking happiness and love while battling cosmic evil.'
Personally I'm really excited for this and I hope that the novels will be very well writen. I'm actually having reservations and I'm honestly scared that the novels will turn out to be too reminiscent of a certain Vampire Franchise.
I swear If it turns out to be too 'Twilightly' I might choke on my own vomit, roll over and die. Here's to hoping the book won't be told in a first-person voice that would remind me of Bella Swan.
