Captain Marvel comes to British newsstands

The March issue of Panini UK's The Mighty World of Marvel begins a new series with the arrival of Captain Marvel to its pages. The 100 page comic reprints the first chapter of The Life of Captain Marvel by Margaret Stohl (writer) and artists Carlos Pacheco and Marguerite Sauvage which was published in the USA last year. 

This is a wise move by editor Scott Gray as this issue of The Mighty World of Marvel goes on sale on Thursday 7th March, and Marvel's latest movie, Captain Marvel, opens in the UK the very next day. A great way to catch the eye of casual browsers in WH Smith and pull in new readers to the world of comics! 

The Mighty World of Marvel Vol.7 No.13 costs £4.99 and also features strips starring The Thing and The Human Torch, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Hawkeye. MWOM is published every four weeks.

Anticipation for the Captain Marvel movie is high, with first reports proclaiming it a hit. It stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and is set in the 1990s with Danvers discovering her origins and fighting Skulls. The 21st movie in the 11-year Marvel Movie Universe, it will lead into Avengers: Endgame, the blockbuster finalé in April. (Although there will be more Marvel movies to come.)
