The Women of Marvel are back
Women of Marvel as a comic book has its origins as a two-issue limited series that released in late 2010. The House of Ideas revived the title as a one-shot in 2021, with subsequent editions releasing in 2022, 2023, and — now — 2024.
Of course, Women of Marvel is also the title of an official Marvel podcast hosted by Ellie Pyle and Preeti Chhibber. In each episode, Pyle and Chhibber “are joined by guests for inspiring conversations that spotlight women characters and creators that have made a powerful and positive impact on the Marvel Universe.”
This past November, Women of Marvel released its 308th episode, which centers on Maya Lopez/Echo. In addition to appearing on Bazaldua’s variant cover for the 2024 Women of Marvel one-shot, Echo — as played by Alaqua Cox — recently starred in her own live-action Disney+ series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Women of Marvel (2024) #1 goes on sale Wednesday, February 28 from Marvel Comics.
