I'm happy that after Genis, Monica will also get a mini!

Not thrilled with the name change but I absolutely love Monica so I will happily be getting this series. Also gotta say that I like the new costume.

[Factor]

Surprised they're changing her name yet again. I wonder if it's the one the MCU is using?

Either way, this sounds really cool. Monica finally has a cool costume without the weird jackets and trenchcoats.
I'm excited for her to have her own story again. I feel since they paired her with Blue Marvel, most of her appearances had to do with him.

[SanityOrMadness]

Well, it at least looks like her best costume ever by some margin.

The basic problem with her as a protagonist has always been a powerset that is nice on paper, but is hopelessly OP unless you implicitly or explicitly nerf her into the ground. (Like any high-level speedster, such as the Flash, she should be able to solve most problems before they start - and this is before you consider the other stuff she can do). Looks like EE's answer to that is to embrace it and go Full Cosmic, so we'll see how that goes - especially since it could make her even harder to use in Earth-based stories.

I assume so, as I see no other reason to change it. Spectrum was a perfectly fine name that nobody else is using.

[CrimsonEchidna]

Photon was the nickname her mother had in the films, so it's been pretty clear that's the moniker they're going to have Monica go by in the next Captain Marvel movie.

I kind of preferred Spectrum.

I'm glad Monica's getting a new book...her new costume looks kind of generic to me, but okay. I miss the jacket and dreads.

I feel the same, on both counts.

Peace

Except a cable company.

I love the costume simple and sleek.

Also not too thrilled about the name change, I also preferred Spectrum but I'm not surprised since it looks like the name she would be going by in the MCU.

Glad to see Eve L Ewing is still writing for Marvel enjoyed her work on Ironheart, so I am looking forward to seeing what has in store for Monica, taking her in a cosmic direction is a good start.

I prefer Spectrum or Captain Marvel over Photon, but whatever. Marvel just can't seem to get out of its own way; properly correct its wrongs; or just simply leave well enough alone.

But I am happy that they're featuring Monica as a cosmic power. But December seems a lifetime away. Hope I make it.

She's one of my favorites, very excited for her to get (overdue) solo series.

wow--digifiend speaks for me, too: "Not thrilled with the name change but I absolutely love Monica so I will happily be getting this series. Also gotta say that I like the new costume."
I still think they should go with simply her great last name: to me, Rambeau sounds like both the spectrum-like rainbow and at the same time, like the very tough-warrior type rambo.
But then, to me, her greatest role so far was taking charge of the Next Wave. Pardon me, I meant THE NEXT WAVE!!! This costume and a trench coat? Yeah, it'd work for me.

Should have stuck with Spectrum.
