The Press Release:
Following Kelly Thompson’s historic run, writer Alyssa Wong and Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Jan Bazaldua are taking the reins and catapulting Carol Danvers into her explosive next era! October’s CAPTAIN MARVEL #1 will be a parade of exciting debuts as Carol sports an all-new costume courtesy of artist Jen Bartel, gains an unlikely partner in a street thief named Yuna, and becomes the target of a dangerously fresh new archenemy known as the Omen! The pulse-pounding first issue kicks off a saga packed with cosmic repercussions as a reality-devouring entity known as the Undone realizes that Captain Marvel is the only hero powerful enough to stop it from annihilating Earth. In the opening arc, witness the Undone’s bold plan to take Carol off the board and how it unleashes chaos for Captain Marvel, Yuna, and the entire Marvel Universe!
Fans looking forward to CAPTAIN MARVEL #1 will have an array of dazzling covers to choose from. Check out all nine now, including newly revealed pieces from superstars like Jen Bartel, Joshua “Sway” Swaby, John Tyler Christopher, and more!
“I’m so excited to be writing Captain Marvel!” Wong said. “Carol is such an iconic character with a rich history, and I can’t wait to add to her story. It’s an honor to work with Jan and I hope everyone enjoys what we’ve got coming!”
“Captain Marvel is one of my favorite female characters, that’s why I’m very excited to draw her,” Bazaldua added. “I have always seen her as a very self-confident woman with nothing she cannot face, and not just because she has super-powers, but because she has inner strength. That’s what I really enjoy about her and why I really appreciate this opportunity!”
See Carol Danvers live up the title of Earth’s Mightiest Hero when CAPTAIN MARVEL #1 hits stands on October 25. For more information, visit Marvel.com.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: The new series sounds exciting and while I will very likely snag a copy of the first issue for posterity I will only be grabbing the standard cover and not one of the many variant editions that are coming. I usually avoid the variant covers despite liking a lot of them but will admit that the easiest way to collect these if you do it is with a first issue. If ten different variants are coming and you can be assured you will be able to get them I say go for it. Be warned that if you are a completist and cannot get all of the ones you want it will drive you crazy. That being said what do you all think about the upcoming series? Will you be giving it a chance? Remember that Captain Marvel will be in the upcoming movie “The Marvels” and that looks to be very interesting. See you next time my readers, please stay safe out there.
