Kelly Thompson bids farewell to CAPTAIN MARVEL with a double-sized finale issue in June!
This June marks the
end of an era for Carol Danvers! Writer Kelly Thompson will wrap up her
extraordinary run on the character in CAPTAIN MARVEL #50, a double-sized issue
featuring art by Javier Pina and David Lopez. As one of the longest-running
writers on the character ever, Thompson’s run will go down in Marvel Comics
history: 50 issues of thrilling adventure, uplifting character-defining
breakthroughs, and awesome powerhouse feats that are destined to inspire generation
after generation of readers! From incredible story arcs like the revolutionary
“Re-Entry” and Carol’s dark turn in “The Last Avenger” to pivotal tie-ins to
some of Marvel’s biggest events like War of the Realms and Empyre,
CAPTAIN MARVEL has been a Marvel must-read since the very start. Along the way,
the title has garnered new lifelong Carol Danvers fans and delighted the
character’s devoted fanbase. True Believers won’t want to miss Thompson’s epic
farewell that celebrates this incredible achievement!
It has been an impossible journey – one that’s taken Carol
Danvers across time and space and pitted her against enemies new and old. This
historic run has put Marvel’s premier heroine through the gauntlet, and now the
boss of space burns brighter than ever. No one believed she would get this far.
But that’s the power of Captain Marvel and her Carol Corps: They will never
give up. Higher, further, faster – to the very end.
"When Marvel asked me to write Carol's new Captain
Marvel series back in 2018, in the lead up to her first film, I was delighted
and also terrified. But I'm glad I didn't let the terror win, because it has
truly been a fantastic experience,” Thompson shared. “I've worked with some of
the most incredible people in the business -- I'd list them all but at 50
issues it's a truly massive list! -- but I certainly have to call out editor
Sarah Brunstad who brought me in and helped build this book from the very
beginning. She has been a constant source of support through a run that I don't
think either of us ever imagined would be nearly five years deep and heading
toward issue 50. While it hasn't always been easy, I'm so proud of the stories
we've told with Carol, but none of it would have been possible without the
fans. Captain Marvel fans are some of the best comic fans -- and humans -- I've
ever experienced, truly. So thank you for this run. We made it, but you all
made it so loved, and so long. Thank you.”
