Can Captain Marvel overcome the formidable foes before it\u2019s too late?<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so privileged to help launch Captain Marvel’s solo title for Marvel Action,\u201d says Sam Maggs. \u201cCarol has always been my favorite super hero; I love how she’s truly come into her own, culturally, and is finally being widely-recognized as the star that she is. Being able to write for Carol is the most exciting and terrifying thing that’s ever happened to me. I can’t wait to share this arc with everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweeney Boo says, \u201cThis comic is for everyone! If you have seen Captain Marvel\u2019s movie and want more of her, and if you are a cat lover, this is definitely for you. This title has everything \u2013 it\u2019s funny and sweet, it has powerful moments, and it\u2019s absolute cat madness!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Sam and Sweeney on a story featuring one of the most iconic super heroes of our time has been a dream,\u201d says Megan Brown, assistant editor. \u201cI adore Carol \u2014 she\u2019s strong, capable, funny, and someone that anyone can look up to. In Marvel Action, we\u2019re also highlighting the strength of her friendship with Jessica Drew, and it\u2019s been such a positive, uplifting experience bringing this rock-solid bond between two absolutely amazing ladies to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
