Sneak A Peak At ‘What If… Minnie Became Captain Marvel’ #1
by Tony Thornley
The Marvel and Disney mash-ups have been an unexpected delight this year. In November, the fun continues with What If… Minnie Became Captain Marvel #1.
Coming from Disney creators Steve Behling, Luca Barbieri and Giada Perissinotto, the one-shot special pay homage to Carol Danvers’ first solo adventure in 1977’s Ms. Marvel #1. In the wake of the event that has given her incredible cosmic powers, Minnie Mouse grapples with her new life. However, she’s going to have to fend off Pete-Scorpion, while navigating a world full of popular Disney comics guest stars.
From Marvel’s solicitation: What is the secret past of Minnie Mouse? Our story finds The Chronicle newspaper reporter Minnie Mouse tasked with an exposé on a new hero on the scene in Duckburg, Captain Marvel! But Peg Leg Pete – Scorpion complicates her plans with an attack on the Chronicle building! To make matters worse, John D. Rockerduck and the Beagle Boys attack Scrooge McDuck’s money bin, and when Captain Marvel shows up to stop them, Minnie discovers an incredible secret about her past! What is Minnie’s connection to Duckburg’s sensational new hero, Captain Marvel?
“Steve, Luca and Giada perfectly capture the spirit of Carol Danvers’ origin, a real nostalgic treat with a Disney twist. Guaranteed to be the most fun comic of the month!” Editor Mark Paniccia said.
Both of the recent Donald Duck specials have been a lot of fun, and I think this one has tons of potential to go right along with it.
Check out the full array of covers from Perissinotto, Peach Momoko, Phil Noto, Skottie Young, and Elena Casagrande and a first look at the interior pages.
Watch for What If… Minnie Became Captain Marvel on November 20th, from Marvel Comics.
