Now this is something I think is interesting.
Ms. Marvel gets a promotion!
Quote:
Carol Danvers began her fictional life as a supporting character in the first Captain's adventures, eventually gaining a costume and powers similar to his, and getting her own book in 1977's Ms. Marvel. Since then, she's also gone by the names Binary and Warbird, and made the majority of her appearances in Avengers books. Since the Brian Michael Bendis-scripted era of the franchise began with 2004 storyline "Avengers: Disassembled," Ms. Marvel has been a prominent member of the team and probably the publisher's most prominent non-mutant female character, and recently starred in her own comic from 2006-2010, a series which lasted 50 issues, about twice as long as her original, late-70s book.
At Wondercon today, Marvel Comics announced that the Captain Marvel character is returning to comics, Ms. Marvel is getting a new costume, and the company will once again have a solo title starring a female character after months without one. And it was all the same announcement: Carol "Ms. Marvel" Danvers will become the new Captain Marvel in the pages of a brand-new Captain Marvel ongoing comic written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and drawn by Dexter Soy.

But I would guess, as with everything else Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel related, it will be quietly discontinued after a little while. But for now I'm happy with it and I may even check it out when it's released.
