June will take on a female superhero twist when Hyperion Books and Marvel Entertainment combine forces to publish two books that explore the personal trials and tribulations of being a female superhero.  The official press release states:

In The She-Hulk Diaries, Jennifer Walters, aka She Hulk, juggles climbing the corporate ladder by day and battling villains and saving the world by night—all while trying to navigate the dating world to find a Mr. Right who might not mind a sometimes-very big and green girlfriend.


Rogue Touch, features one of the most popular X-Men characters, Rogue, a young woman trying to navigate the challenges of everyday life and romance—except that her touch is deadly.  After accidentally putting her first boyfriend in a coma, she runs away from home where, she meets the handsome and otherworldly James and sparks fly. Like Rogue, however, James’ life is hardly simple. To elude his mysterious and dangerous family, James shaves his head, dons all black. Stealing a car, they head out on the highway and eventually, Rogue has to decide whether she will unleash her devastating powers in order to save the only man alive who seems to truly understand her.   

“Marvel has had tremendous success with recent hit movies," says Hyperion’s Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Dyssegaard. "We think it’s a great time to explore what happens to super heroines when they are dropped into traditional women’s novels.” Ruwan Jayatilleke, Associate Publishers/SVP, Marvel Entertainment, believes,  “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 our Super Heroes, these novels deliver exciting stories that will capture your imagination.”
