The nine circles of hell from Dante’s Inferno recreated in Lego by Mihai Mihu
I. LIMBO: A place of monotony, here the souls are punished to wander in restless existence while they moan helplessly in echoes between the ruins of a temple.
II. LUST: Surrounded by erotic representations, those overcome by lust are forced to watch and experience disgusting things, ultimately being condemned to drown in the menstrual river.
III. GLUTTONY: The circle itself is a living abomination, a hellish digestive system revealing horrific faces with mouths ready to devour the gluttons over and over for eternity.
IV. GREED: This pompous place is reserved for the punishment of the greedy ones.
V. ANGER: In this depressing place the souls are trapped in the swamp, they can’t move and they cannot manifest their frustration which is making them even more angry.
VI. HERESY: The giant demon watches closely over his fire pit, dwarfing the damned that are dragging the new arrivals in the boiling lava. Those who committed the greatest sins against God are getting a special treatment inside the temple where they are doomed to burn for eternity in the scorching flames.
VII. VIOLENCE: A place of intense torture where the horrific screams of the damned are eternally accompanied by the hellish beats of drums.
VIII. FRAUD: In Fraud the Demons enjoy altering the shape of souls, this is how they feed.
IX. TREACHERY: Lucifer lies here chained by the Angelic Seal which keeps him captive in the frozen environment.

Looking forward to Flash and the League of Neglected Boyfriends appearance in Sep's FD issue
The League of Neglected Boyfriends needs to be its own title!
Been a fan of yours for a while and am loving Fearless Defenders. One of the best books on the market if you ask me. Think it's weird that despite being surrounded by well known heroines, Annabelle Riggs is my favorite character in the book? Really enjoying her and her interactions with everyone.
Annabelle may be my favorite character, too! I had a feeling readers would relate to her, and I’m glad I was right! In a book about super powerhouses, we needed someone like Annabelle to ground the book a bit.
Confession: Fearless Defenders was the very first Marvel comic that I ever bought at issue #1 the first Wednesday it came out. I was looking forward to this more than I could express and the comic has simply gone beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for writing one of my favorite characters, Valkyrie, so well and bringing together such an amazing team of heroines.
Thank you so much! And welcome aboard! I’ve had many people tell me that this was their first comic… or their first Marvel comic… and that means so much to me. I’m so happy you’re enjoying it!
Whats the best part about writing Venom? and Will we be seeing any classic villains soon?
Venom’s a fun character to write. I enjoy Flash Thompson’s stuggle to be the hero he’s always idolized. And I feel like Venom lends itself to a kind of weirdness and craziness that really appeals to me. As for villains… I dunno about classics, but you’re gonna see a LOT of bad guys in the next arc.
Just wanted to sincerely admire the hints of romance you are putting into Fearless Defenders. It is so lovely to see a lesbian romance in progress, with more subtlety, expression and feeling than most of the heterosexual romances we see in comics. I can't tell you how much I'm loving Fearless Defenders because of this. Also because of everything else of course!
Thank you! In a book like FEARLESS DEFENDERS, something like romance can get lost in all the action, so I’ve tried to hint at it where I can. That said, there are troubles… and more romances… ahead for the characters.
Cullen, now that Red She-Hulk's series is ending, would there be a place for her on the Fearless Defenders? (Also want to say that I'm loving Helheim! Thanks for signing my copies on FCBD.)
I’ve always wanted her to appear in one of my books. She was originally slated to appear in FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS, but she was tied up in other stories. So… You never really know…
I was wondering that maybe you´re the only person in Marvel that could really do justice to the Enchantress (Amora or teen Sylvie Lushton) ´s character, the only hope to see something really good with her for the little that she has been used lately, the only thing I've been left in my mind was Bendis/Davis portrayal on Avengers Prime and perhaps you could follow that same line when, at last, she will have an appearance on Fearless Defenders.
One version of the character will definitely show up in FEARLESS DEFENDERS (issue 9 to be exact). I love the Enchantress, and re-read AVENGERS: PRIME from time to time. In early planning stages, she was gonna be a member of the team.
