Preview: A-Force #5 From Marvel Comics
By D. Goodman
A-Force gets a new creative team as the title’s second arc begins and we have a preview of what you can expect.
When Marvel announced A-Force, a team of Avengers comprised entirely of female heroes, it not only grabbed the attention of comic book fans but the media as well. Many felt a team made up exclusively of the women of Marvel was an idea that was long overdue. Reaction to the first issue bore that out as it was an instant hit.
Launched as part of the massive Secret Wars event last year, the title featured a top-notch creative team in co-writers Marguerite Bennett and G. Willow Wilson and artist Jorge Molina. It was then re-launched as part of the All-New All-Different Marvel with Wilson and Molina staying on and steering the team on adventures across the multiverse thanks to the new character Singularity.
Now with issue #5, a new creative team takes over A-Force and sets the team of Earth’s Mightiest Women in a whole new direction.
