2023 has certainly been a tumultuous journey for Marvel, with its highs and lows. However, the MCU seems determined to wrap it up on a positive note, thanks to the much-awaited movie, “The Marvels.” This film serves as a sequel to “Captain Marvel,” “Ms. Marvel,” and “WandaVision,” and brilliantly brings together the new faces of the universe with Brie Larson’s renowned character. To commemorate this event, Marvel will be unveiling two special variant comic covers this autumn.
Delving deeper into these comic releases, “Captain Marvel: Assault on Eden #1” has been penned by the talented Anthony Oliveira and graced with illustrations by Eleonora Carlini. On the other hand, “Captain Marvel #2” is the brainchild of Alyssa Wong and is brought to life with Jan Bazaldua’s artistry. These captivating covers, crafted by Elena Casagrande and Natacha Bustos, showcase the trio – Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau portrayed by Teyonah Parris, and Ms. Marvel embodied by Iman Vellani – collaboratively harnessing their powers. These powerhouses will need to synchronize perfectly in the forthcoming movie, as their cosmic abilities become intertwined, leading to them swapping places every time they unleash their powers. This novel twist is set to give way to some imaginative and dynamic action sequences in the movie. Marvel enthusiasts also get a sneak peek at the updated superhero costumes and even Goose’s fresh batch of extraterrestrial kittens through Captain Marvel’s alternative cover.
Unlocking the Cosmic Essence of “The Marvels”
The debut of Captain Marvel in 2019 may have received diverse reviews, but it indisputably generated a billion dollars for Marvel. Since its release, the MCU realm has witnessed exponential growth, owing significantly to the integration of Disney+. Series like “WandaVision” and “Ms. Marvel,” which presented the contemporary versions of Monica and Ms. Marvel, are touted as some of the MCU’s finest works.
Each superhero, equipped with a distinct essence from their preceding ventures, will interact in the most intriguing ways in the upcoming film. The interactions between Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel are particularly awaited, given that the former is the most ardent Captain Marvel enthusiast. Memorable moments from her series include her fanatical admiration for the MCU. Vellani’s rendition of the comic hero resonates with an unparalleled vivacity and an infinite charm. Recently, the news broke that Vellani will be penning a “Ms. Marvel” comic, making it even more special to witness her in her comic avatar.
