Marvel set to unveil all-female Avengers comic series

Los Angeles: Marvel is set to release a comic series, ‘A-Force’, which includes superheroines like She-Hulk, Dazzler and Medusa, among others, this spring at The Secret Wars event.

It is written by G Willow Wilson (‘X-Men’) and Marguerite Bennett (‘Angela: Asgard’s Assassin’), and drawn by Jorge Molina (X-Men), reported Us magazine.

‘A-Force’ will have the group of powerful women unite to fight evil. Wilson said the writers were allowed to choose any characters they wanted for the squad, but it was Marvel that required all of them be female.

“(Marvel has) become very committed in the last couple of years to telling new stories, to gender diversity, to getting more voices out there so they said, ‘Here’s the roster. Go nuts’,” Wilson said.
