Preview: CAPTAIN MARVEL #1
Captain Marvel gets set to launch a new series in the All-New, All-Different Marvel universe. Taking over for fan-favorite Kelly Sue DeConnick are Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, the Executive Producers and Showrunners of Marvel’s Agent Carter television program.
I never read much of DeConnick’s Captain Marvel, but I plan on at least giving this new run a few issues. One positive is that colorist Matt Wilson will be lending his artistic skills to the book, along with Kris Anka. Wilson may be my favorite colorist in the business today. His pages always look extra vibrant.
Read the press release below for Captain Marvel #1.
Higher Altitude. Same Attitude.
Your First Look at CAPTAIN MARVEL #1!
New York, NY—December 17th, 2015 — Strap in, suit up and take flight True Believer! The Captain is back and she is dialing it up a notch. Today Marvel is pleased to present your first look inside CAPTAIN MARVEL #1 – the high-flying new ongoing series! Calling all Carol Corps members! Marvel’s Agent Carter Executive Producers and Showrunners Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters make the jump to Marvel Comics to pen the explosive adventures of Carol Danvers alongside fan-favorite artist Kris Anka (Uncanny X-Men)!
It’s a bold new frontier for Earth’s Mightiest Hero as she soars to new heights on her most daring mission yet – head of the all-new Alpha Flight space program. As Earth’s first line of defense, Carol and Alpha Flight protect the planet from any and all threats the deep void of space can throw at them. With a space station and an entire fleet at her command, if you come here looking for trouble, you won’t know what hit you! But is Carol ready to be a soldier and a diplomat at the same time? Especially when an unknown enemy emerges she can’t quite punch.
Hero. Pilot. Avenger. Leader. The next evolution of Carol Danvers begins this fall as she blasts off once again in CAPTAIN MARVEL #1!
