As Marvel continues to be All New, All Different we found out that Kelly Sue DeConnick would be leaving the book at the conclusion of Secret Wars.  Since then Captain Marvel fans have been tossing around hopes and dreams about who should take over the book.  Marvel’s announcement has Carol Danvers in the capable hands of a top notch team.

The new team has the experience of a successful TV run with the first season of Agent Carter being renewed.  Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas will be writing and the art will be handed to Kris Anka who has released some great work.  The transition to comics should be a good one since they will have no limits on what they can do.  The only planned change is a new hairstyle.

“She’s military,” says Fazekas. “She’s not going to have this huge mane of hair. It needs to be practical.”

It looks like we will see Carol Danvers find her place in the Marvel Universe according to Editor Sana Amanat

“This is really meant to be the next level for Captain Marvel. Carol is really meant to be a soldier and a commander, and also a diplomat. We’re really trying to build up this space complex and this space world. You’ll really feel like there’s an extension of the Avengers world into space, but not necessarily lost out in the Guardians of the Galaxy cosmos. It’s rooted in Earth but also an extension into the galaxy.”

As for what the Writer Fazekas has planned:

Marvel really wanted us to design what her mission is within the universe,” says Fazekas. “We know what S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s mission is, we know what the Avengers‘ mission is, we know what Guardians of the Galaxy‘s mission is. So how does Captain Marvel fit into all that?”

It looks like we will get our first taste this fall, that is consistent with Marvel’s release dates for their other new series  eight months after the conclusion of Secret Wars.3047641-slide-s-2-first-look-at-the-new-captain-marvel-written-by-agent-carter-showrunner
