Come for the breaking news, stay for the trip down memory lane! Ryan "Agent M" Penagos and Lorraine Cink were joined by Marvel veteran Ann Nocenti, who wrote and edited for Marvel back in the 1980s and created such characters as Typhoid Mary, Longshot, and Blackheart. Nocenti was a HUGE part of DAREDEVIL in the '80s, not to mention bringing Spider-Woman back to life and more Marvel classic tales than you can fling a scrunchie at.
