Captain Marvel’s New Run is Full of Twist and Turns
The upcoming run comes with a lot of changes for Carol. She gets a new costume, an unlikely ally and a brand-new villain. “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,” said Marvel.
The publisher isn’t the only one looking forward to the new run, series author Wong excitedly stated "I'm so excited to be writing Captain Marvel!” The writer continued “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!"
Artist Bazaldua also expressed her enthusiasm about the upcoming comics. "Captain Marvel is one of my favorite female characters, that's why I'm very excited to draw her," she said. "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," Bazaldua explained.
Captain Marvel #1 will be available in comic book stores and participating digital platforms on October 25, 2023, from Marvel Comics.
