This December, universal powerhouse Monica Rambeau will star in first-ever solo comic series! A five-issue limited series, MONICA RAMBEAU: PHOTON will be written by award-winning author and scholar Eve L. Ewing and drawn by new Marvel talent, artist Michael Sta. Maria. The iconic Marvel super hero with four decades worth of amazing stories will at long last headline her own saga.
From the New Orleans Harbor Patrol to the Avengers to the Ultimates, Monica Rambeau has been a leader and team player her entire life but now she’ll face a reality-shattering crisis that she’ll have no choice but to take on single-handedly. In order to do so, Photon will need to reach new heights of her incredible abilities—and then surpass them! In a revelatory journey spanning time and space, fan will behold Photon’s true potential. The adventure begins when Photon is charged with making a very special, very cosmic delivery. What should be light work (get it?) for Monica becomes increasingly complex and dangerous due to a threat from beyond and family drama.
“It's such an honor to be taking on the story of a legacy character like Monica Rambeau,” Ewing said. “Monica's character has a long history in the Marvel Universe, but she's way overdue for getting her own story told. I'm picking the pen up from the legend himself, Dwayne McDuffie, who put out the last Monica Rambeau solo adventure almost three decades ago. It's a privilege and I'm excited to tell the story in a way that both highlights her incredible cosmic abilities as well as her everyday, relatable struggles. I hope this will be a title that has something equal to offer to veteran readers and folks who may be brand new to comics.”
Explore the outer reaches and wildest vagaries of the Marvel Universe through the eyes of one of its most powerful heroes when MONICA RAMBEAU: PHOTON #1 arrives in December.

Comic tropes.., cant wait to see what the next trench coat or straps and pockets fad will be.
on a similar note, my fam sat down and watched the She Hulk trailer and my kids commented that she was copying Deadpool by talking to the audience. I tried to explain that Shulkie actually did it first but honestly could not explain why she did that in her solo series but not in say the Avengers title. Anyway, was too enamored with John Byrnes art to care though I did think it was a little weird even as a kid

If this cover is any indication, she's getting rid of that coat and that's good; I never understood why they thought a character whose power is based on energy absorption/ generation/ controlling the electromagnetic spectrum etc. would ever possibly need to wear a trenchcoat.

Amazing cover art. Always loved the character even though the original suit wasnt my favorite.
Her stint as Avengers leader was undermined by that weasel Dr Druid so there was another reason to hate that dude. She had awesome potential as a long time leader but between poor editorial decisions ( all the name changes for example) and she kinda peaked back in the 80s.
Really hoping they give her another memorable run. Cant think of any crutch that writers can lean on like Moon Knights Dissociative disorder or the Black Knights Ebony Blade cures thatEVERY Marvel writer falls back on instead of expanding the characters mythology. So again, fingers crossed they move forward with Monica

Love Monica Rambeau. She was a badayass as Captain Marvel back in the 80's when she was the leader of the Avengers. Not sure why they abandoned her back then, but let's see how bad they mess her up. And they will mess her up. In an ideal world the writing would be at least half as good as the cover art.

Genis-Vell probably stole the Spectrum name
