With Carol Danvers promotion from Ms. Marvel to Make Sure DC Can’t Call Him Captain Marvel, the fine nitwits at Marvel decided they needed a new Ms. Marvel. My issues with Marvel Comics’ move aside I don’t have a problem with the comic and I’ve heard good things about it, but it does cheapen a title when anyone can use it. Wasn’t that the point made during Osborne’s “Dark Avengers”? Carol had full claim on Ms. Marvel (except when Moonstone was stealing her identity) and now they’re cheapening that name the way Marvel has their Captain Marvel. Ah, I’m just annoyed that the real Captain Marvel can’t use his name anymore. There have been one or two other Ms. Marvels, but they can’t hold a candle to Carol.
We don’t know a lot about the new Ms. Marvel (after all, she hasn’t come out yet, except for one page in this week’s Captain Namesake–I just told you I’m still bitter about it!), but leave it to marketing to never let any surprise get in the way of promotion. Let’s meet the new heroine in town.
