Clea and Valkyrie are the main characters of this framing sequence, while the "re-experiences" are reprints. Arguably, even though these adventures are reprints, they are in continuity in the correct order since the characters actually re-live them.

And let me be the first? to recommend the inclusion of Weird Wonder Tales #7 when Defenders Masterworks Vol. 3 comes around!

I am very glad to see that the complete Giant-Size will be included too. Along with the new framing, the GS reprinted material from Incredilble Hulk #3, Atlas Sub-Mariner #41, Strange Tales #145, and Fantastic Four Annual #5 - all of which has already been done in Masterworks.So I wonder if Cory will be reconstructing the GS from scratch, or will he just rely the previously Masterworked material? Did the GS contain any art, dialogue or color changes from the original stories. I'm sure Cory will catch anything like that.

(It also contains a couple of throwaway Classic X-Men back-ups as bonus material, but the main feature is definitely a Masterworks reprint.)

I'd love to see that too, but I wouldn't count on it until Defenders Masterworks #5!The Headmen appear in Defenders #21, a couple months after WWT #7.
