What was touted as a major announcement today on the all female The View TV show never happened. Maybe an omen for the up-coming project…A-Force. An all female team in the Marvel Universe. USA Today is reporting.
While Iron Man and Captain America hold down the team in the movies, She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa and Nico Minoru are Earth’s mightiest superheroines in the pages of A-Force, a series written by G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel, X-Men) and Marguerite Bennett (Angela: Asgard’s Assassin) and drawn by Jorge Molina (X-Men) that debuts during Marvel’s massive Secret Wars event.
The spring crossover finds the entire Marvel Universe disbanded and the Avengers no more. What’s left in Secret Wars is a patchwork landscape of all the different corners of the Marvel U known as Battleworld.
This May, beginning in Marvel’s Secret Wars, the Avengers are no more!
Within the Warzones! of Secret Wars, a brand new team will lead the way. A-Force Assemble! Marvel Comics reimagines the Marvel Universe in one of the largest shake-ups to the Avengers mythos.
So who are the Marvel powerhouses taking center stage? “She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and other fan favorites, will take charge,” says series co-writer G. Willow Wilson. “We’ve purposefully assembled a team composed of different characters from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies.”
And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, A-Force was born—to fight the foes no single Super Hero could withstand! Their glory will never been denied! Heed the call, A-Force Assemble!
