While Carol Danvers has been sporting the moniker Captain Marvel, it has left her previous name Ms. Marvel in the cold. Marvel recently released info that a new Ms. Marvel series would be coming. The character filling the name has caused a bit of a stir.
The new Ms. Marvel is a teen-aged Muslim girl with Pakistani parents living in New Jersey. Her first appearance was in the under-ordered and under-the-radar Captain Marvel #17 out today. She appears in a cameo near the end of the book.
It seems like the news picked up on Muslim Characters joining the cast of Green Lantern and Batman books, but have given his no attention. Of course comic web-sites and news sources have picked up on this and it may just be a matter of time before the mainstream news sources catch up.
Something to keep on the radar.
