‘Agent Carter’ showrunners are the new writers of ‘Captain Marvel’ comic
How do you possibly try and replace Kelly Sue on Captain Marvel? You bring in the Agent Carter showrunners. I fuck with this so hard.

Marvel has revealed the team behind their Avengers title, coming out of Secret Wars. And, it ain’t too shabby!
‘Spider-Gwen’ is returning, Marvel will have a Multiverse after ‘Secret Wars’
We don’t know what Marvel is going to look like after Secret Wars. But it’s going to have a Spider-Gwen comic, and she’s staying put in her own Universe. Ain’t no 616 action for her. Dope.
New ‘Doctor Strange’ monthly comic coming, courtesy Aaron and Bachalo
Must be a coincidence. There’s like, no way that Marvel is launching a monthly Doctor Strange comic book as Marvel Studios is preparing his movie as a means to seed the pop culture’s collective consciousness. They wouldn’t do that, right? This new Doctor Strange comic is coming because the public wants it! Demands it! (All joking aside, cool creative team.)
Marvel announces Miles Morales is star of ‘Spider-Man’ comic this fall
Oh shit! Miles Morales! Spider-Man. Maybe not in the movies, but the web slinger is headlining a Spider-Title in the comics this Fall.
Mad Max’s Imperator Furiosa getting her own comic on Wednesday from Vertigo
Torn. I don’t think that anyone from Fury Road needs their stories fleshed out. The world building, and lack thereof, in the movie is fucking fantastic. But at the same time? I’m digging the Imperator Furiosa love. Now give me my Funko POP! of her,
Marvel launching ‘All-New, All-Different’ Universe this September
Marvel is doubling down on reconfiguring their Universe this September, post-Secret Wars. And I have to say, I’m intrigued. I’m intrigued, and really confused. How will this universe shake out? Who is stepping into the role of classic heroes? What is canon? What isn’t canon? Maybe, just maybe this confusion is what Marvel wants. My intriguing leading to them making them ducats as I buy issues to find out. And as an aside: “All-New, All-Different” line-up they say. Yet it’s boring ass Iron Man smack dab right in the middle of the promo image, fwiw.
Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction adapting ‘The Wicked + The Divine’ for TV
Molto interessante! It appears that the Milkfed Criminal Masterminds ain’t just adapting their own works for TV. The duo are also developing adaptations of other popular, critically acclaimed comic series, too. And while I don’t particularly enjoy The Wicked + The Divine (maybe I should read more of it?), I think this announcement is a dope portent.
