— Marvel Comics is proud to present an unprecedented approach in introducing the world to Marvel Comics and the next great breakout Marvel Super Hero – Captain Marvel! Masterfully mixing animated comics with in-depth narration and commentary, this fresh new video series is designed to present a whole new audience to the world of Carol Danvers, a.k.a., Captain Marvel, timed with the debut of her brand new comic book series THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL.
THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL, written by New York Times best-selling author, Margaret Stohl (Black Widow: Forever Red, Black Widow: Red Vengeance), accompanied with outstanding art by Ramon Rosanas (The Astonishing Ant-Man), garnered international buzz and attention upon the announcement this past year. Marvel continues the excitement surrounding Marvel’s celebrated high-flying former Air Force pilot turned Super Hero, Captain Marvel, through a brand new Marvel music spotlight video series accompanied with the track “Candy Castle” from Glass Candy.
Ida No from Glass Candy told Marvel, “[We] align ourselves wholeheartedly with the Marvel Hero maxim: Life is not a pleasure, it’s a mission to annihilate evil and salvage good from the wreck that the wicked minds have created. We are here to make this a better place.”
No continued, “I like to channel super heroes when writing lyrics because I believe they power blast away any lower frequency who might be hanging around trying to get a word in.”
Each month, a new “Captain Marvel: Alien Nation” video will be released with the latest issue of Marvel Comics’ THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL. The “Captain Marvel: Alien Nation” videos will educate new and old fans about Stohl’s THE MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL series through commentary, motion graphics, as well as an energetic score from some of the world’s biggest female-led musical acts.
Narrated by writer, Margaret Stohl, accompanied with some of the world’s biggest female-led musical acts, “Captain Marvel: Alien Nation” will introduce fans to the history of Carol Danvers and spotlight why she is the hero to watch moving forward.
With Marvel’s first Spotlight video series, “Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet” , Marvel coupled some of today’s top hip-hop musical acts with Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther, and now, Marvel continues building excitement around some of its iconic heroes with Captain Marvel paired with a brand new catalogue of female-led musical acts to further emphasis how Carol Danvers, a.k.a., Captain Marvel, is the premier female Super Hero of the entire Marvel Universe.
