This January, a new limited series starring Janet and Nadia Van Dyne celebrates the 60th Anniversary of WASP!
Since the very dawn
of the Marvel super hero age, Janet Van Dyne has enchanted comic book fans as
the founding Avenger known as the Wasp! Now, after 60 years of being a super
hero and fashion icon, the character will headline a new four-issue limited series!
Arriving in January, WASP will be written by superstar
Marvel mastermind Al Ewing and drawn by Kasia Nie, known for her acclaimed work
on titles like Mockingbird and Age of Conan: Belit. Like Ewing’s
hit Ant-Man series currently on stands, WASP will pay tribute to Janet’s
incredible legacy by shedding new light on her wild Silver Age origin,
spotlighting her relationship with protégé Nadia Van Dyne, and paving the way
for a bright future! The saga will also directly lead into another Ewing-penned
series launching in the new year!
After countless Avengers missions, earth-shattering battles,
and fabulous costumes, Janet Van Dyne is ready to start a new chapter in her
legendary super hero career! But as she sets out to change up her role within
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, a villain from her past rises out of the shadows to
ruin all she’s worked for. Joined by Nadia Van Dyne, Janet and Nadia team up
against a dangerous new organization with shocking connections to both their
histories. As the threat grows more urgent, Janet and Nadia will face a test so
great that they may become the very thing they fear most…
"The Ant-Man series was a whole lot of fun and
gave me a new appreciation for Janet Van Dyne and her world - and when I went
digging into her past, there was a whole story there just waiting to be
unearthed,” Ewing explained. “If you weren't a fan of the Wondrous Wasp before
- not to mention her adopted daughter Nadia Van Dyne - you will be when we're
done!"
“I’m super excited to work with Al and rest of the team on
this anniversary tribute to Wasp,” Nie added. “I love Janet, she’s one of my
favorite Marvel characters—a mature person with an uneasy past, a successful
woman and the best mom to Nadia. She’s unstoppable.”
Check out two of Tom Reilly’s main covers for the series,
following the same bold design as his beloved covers for the Ant-Man
series, and get swept away in Janet Van Dyne’s new era when WASP #1 arrives in
