Let the speculation begin

Edit: I hope this wasn't referencing something she's already currently doing. What's going on with Domino?

Don't know if this holds any importance at this point but this is something she said 2 years ago.

I hope it’s something new, but very possibly a reference to Domino, which has featured Dom, Outlaw and Diamondback as a team. The book has been GREAT.

Crossing fingers for a Lady Liberators series

I think it's just in reference to Domino, which has Outlaw and Diamondback as supporting characters.

Wouldn't be opposed to her tackling A-Force though. So many female Avengers aren't in use, while Captain Marvel and a dumbed-down She-Hulk are the only ones getting any prominent panel time. I'd love to see Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Scarlet Witch and Wasp get big roles beyond propping up other characters.

Domino, Outlaw, and Diamondback are a girl team called....

...The Posse...

...yep.

... I think we all know how this joke goes.

I'd love to see a new A-Force cover with 25 ladies who didn't make the first cover, but are still important, like Sue Storm, Kamala Khan, Laura Kinney, Kitty Pryde, Monica Rambeau, Neena Thurman, Melissa Gold, America Chavez, Kate Bishop, Emma Frost, Bobbi Morse, Valkyrie/Brunhilde, Gamora, Betsy Braddock, Greer Nelson, Lorna Dane, etc..

And yeah, a new A-Force run could indeed be fun. Or a Lady Liberators team. Is Thundra doing anything? She'd be perfect for such a team... Throw in some other out of work lady heroes, like Silk and Shuri and Dani Moonstar and Jocasta, and it could be fun.

Given the context, that seems extremely likely. The "already" part feels like it's based on released material, not future material.

Marvel needs this, they have no ''answer'' to Birds of Prey.

[Kusanagi]

My first thought is Domino, it's been a great book so far and seems to fit this description.

[Muffin Crud]

Bobbi and Nat, please. I wanna see those two develop into best friends.

They go through attempts at making an all-female hero team as much as they do teen hero groups .

Don't forget Superman wannabes and Legacy cases.

Yes, she was definitely talking about Domino, especially reading the replies.

But, I don't think it's a bad idea for Marvel to do something in the vein of a Birds of Prey title. Marvel only puts out a street-level/noir-tinged team book every once in a while. It's a niche that could stand to be filled. And if DC can turn their iconic Golden Age sidekick into a superspy with a flirty female spy partner, there's not much shame in Marvel borrowing a pitch from DC.

They go through attempts at making an all-female hero team as much as they do teen hero groups .

Well, none of the past attempts are that similar to BoP. Fearless Defenders, Adjectiveless X-Men 2012, and A-Force don't have the same kind of approach as BoP. Majorie Liu's Liberators pitch seemed a lot closer tonally.

At the very least, it's a little perplexing that Marvel hasn't put out some kind of spy team with all of the Marvel lady superspies, like that quoted tweet was saying. The gender ratio of the big espionage characters at Marvel is pretty skewed in favor of the women. Maybe they're concerned about being able to make the different characters stand out from each other in how they approach things, but most decent writers have been able to do that already.
