Carol Danvers is out and Moonstone is in with Ms. Marvel #39, and we've got a 4-page preview, plus a look at the debut of the new ongoing series spinning out of Millar & Hitch's Fantastic Four run in Fantastic Force #1, and the premiere of the all-new, all-deadly Dark X-Men!

 

 

Meet the New Ms. Marvel!

 

With Carol Danvers no longer Ms. Marvel, who will take up the mantle? Answer: The Dark Avenger formerly known as Moonstone! Writer Brian Reed and artist Rebekah Isaacs team up for an all-new, all-different Ms. Marvel #38! Norman Osborn has appointed the villainous Moonstone to become the world's new favorite super-heroine--what kind of chaos and mayhem will ensue? This issue also features a Wolverine Art Appreciation variant cover by Paolo Rivera!

 

Fans and critics are raving about Brian Reed and Ms. Marvel:

 

"What's so fascinating about this current run of Ms. Marvel by Brian Reed is just how versatile he has proven both himself to be as a writer, as well as the character he writes, Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel. [...] This is a truly great book." -- Adam Chapman, Comixtreme.com

 

"This issue has a few plotlines running through it, but I think Brian Reed handles it efficiently and effectively. I really think the best events and storylines of "Dark Reign" are going to happen where you least expect them, and this is one of those places."-- Kevin Powers, ComicsBulletin.com

 

"I should be hit in the face with a 12 inch frying pan for even imagining a bad issue of Ms. Marvel." -- Mike Rapin, destroythecyb.org
