the 2012 re-launch, Captain Marvel has been an exemplar for how to present a super-heroic character, be it woman or man. DeConnick has other stories she wishes to tell, you really need to learn to let go, darling. That said, there’s a selfish little corner of my heart that wishes that she would craft tales of Carol Danvers and her supporting cast for something on the order of the 102-issue run of Stan Lee & Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four! (That’s not asking too much, is it?) DeConnick, whose powerful books always bespeak a deep and profound understanding of the medium and the messages it can deliver, the opportunity to focus on her owned properties and address more completely that avenue of expression will undoubtedly be more creatively fulfilling for her, and provide great reading for those of us in the audience. DeConnick’s reasoning behind her decision is more than logical, as with the release of the “Captain Marvel” feature film more than three years out, it would be “In for a penny, in for a pound”, so it’s a sensible jumping-off point to avoid her toiling into a writer’s fatigue. Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Captain Marvel: A Farewell SaluteĮven allowing for the natural progression of things in the comics landscape, some changes are wrenching, and the news out of HeroesCon that Kelly Sue DeConnick was ceding the reins of Captain Marvel created a wave of conflicting emotions within me.
