Marvel Comics’ Editor-in-Chief Stephen Wacker just took the stage at New York Comic Con to host his first-ever Bullpen Bulletins! panel and seized the moment to reveal what’s next for one of Marvel’s greatest heroes—and one of his personal favorites: CAPTAIN MARVEL! This May, the iconic hero headlines an all-new ongoing series in May by award-winning writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel, Black Cat) and acclaimed artist Rachael Stott (Fantastic Four).
The series spins out of the upcoming Avengers run by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto. Following the cataclysmic events of Avengers: Armageddon, Carol Danvers finds herself grounded like never before. To rise again, Carol will have to challenge everything she thought she knew about being Captain Marvel—and break every rule along the way. And as she pushes herself further, a threat that has been quietly assembling in the shadows of the Marvel Universe for decades is finally ready to make its move.
No stranger to the character following her groundbreaking work on Ms. Marvel, Wilson expressed her excitement at returning to this corner of the Marvel Universe in a video message: “I’m so excited to be returning to these characters who I love so much, these readers who I love so much, and to be taking Carol on her next big adventure. I can’t wait to get started and for fans to see what we have in store for Carol and all her friends. So chin up, put your boots on. We’re going back up!”
“So unbelievably thrilled to not only be working with one of my favorite writers, the amazing G. Willow Wilson, but also one of my absolute favorite characters,” Stott shared. “At times like these, as an artist you really have to pinch yourself, and assume that in a previous life you saved a bus load of orphans from an escaped tiger to get so lucky. Can’t wait to help bring this exciting new chapter of Carol’s story to life!”
