IDW is Relaunching MARVEL ACTION: CAPTAIN MARVEL
IDW is relaunching the comic series Marvel Action: Captain Marvel. The series features the same team that initially helmed it including writer Sam Maggs and illustrator Sweeney Boo. They’re also bringing newcomer artist Isabel Escalante. Escalante will provide art for the first two issues and Boo will then take care of #3-5. The first story arc features Carol Danvers teaming up with Gwen Stacy, so fans should be pretty excited.
The first story arc will have Carol trying to relax and enjoy some time off in New York City, but all that is disrupted when Gwen Stacy (better known as Ghost-Spider) introduces her to the ClikClok app, and things get crazy quickly from there.
Talking about the series, Maggs said:
Writing for Carol -- who always has been and always will be my favorite Super Hero -- has been a career highlight, and I'm so thrilled to continue her story with the amazing team at IDW. Carol is powerful, self-assured, and independent, but there's still so much she can learn about playing well with others. One of my favorite things about writing Carol's Marvel Action adventures has been delving into her relationships with other heroines, and we'll be continuing that theme in this new series!
Escalante shared their excitement for joining the team as well:
Working for the first time in the comic world feels like a huge challenge, mainly because it's a Captain Marvel story, and she’s such a powerful, well-loved character. I’m happy, nervous, and excited!
Boo added:
Illustrating Captain Marvel is a dream come true. Carol Danvers is such an inspiring and strong character. She is determined, brave, and confident... which I am not, so I can live vicariously through her! She has a special place in my heart and was the very first Super Hero I got to draw professionally. I can't imagine letting her go!
Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1 will be available in 2021 and features a main cover by Boo with a retailer incentive cover from Gretel Lusky.
