A-FORCE... To Be Reckoned With... Appreciation/Celebration!!

[Wiccan]

I'm very sad that this awesome book is now gone and there isn't a single issue with Janet van Dyne appearing, even as a non-speaking background cameo.

Selfish thing to say, I know, can't help it.

Well for what it's worth I really enjoyed all 15 issues.

Wait... So you weren't really hoping it was cancelled soon like you do for all books?

I almost laughed at that. Almost.

Definitely not just you! I got A LOT of emails/tumblr asks/twitter questions about A-Force potentially being cancelled and I ignored them all. It was painful to do, but I'm still young at Marvel, I gotta follow the rules.

And thank you regarding the ending. CWII arc was definitely not the planned end but I did what I could to make it work and leave it in a good place for someone else to pick up and run with.

I had mapped out both Arc 4 and Arc 5 (though only 4 was tentatively approved). Arc 4 was a short two-issue arc - a Black Widow team up (she was the A-lister I mentioned in interviews). And Arc 4 also would have brought America Chavez onto the team in a permanent capacity (it was still unclear as to whether we would have Jen or not at the time that I was creating/pitching new arcs).

Arc 5 was a longer (four or five issue) arc that took our ladies off planet and was a Dazzler focused story that explored the idea of Dazzler having spent some time in her past as the QUEEN of an alien planet and that planet coming and begging her to return (and then of course everything goes wrong) when she and A-Force go there.

Yeah, I was pretty excited about both of those stories. Learning they weren't going to get to happen was a blow. T_T But maybe someday in some other way they can still happen...or versions of them can!

Thanks again everyone for the support and love you poured into A-Force. I know you loved it like I did. And I'll always be grateful for my time on the book. <3

Just hearing this makes me sad. A-Force deserved better chance. The delays and creative changes hurt it. Considering with jen with cwii lack of anything outside of before her new book. Makes me sad this book getting canceled espically with dazzler's thor hammer just out there I guess too. Its just feels over to soon.

Kelly Thompson, I just want to thank you for the great stories with the book. Such a shame to see it end here.

Thank you for saying so, and for reading! <3

Ending doesn't mean it will never return. It may be back after a few months. But I hope it will be a different roster.

A-force characters have been confirmed to appear in the event. Hopefully this could mean a chance for them to return post Monster Unleashed.

Nico has joined Avengers Academy and the rest of A-Force will follow soon.

Marvel.com: Can you give us any hints on what’s coming next for the Avengers Academy students and faculty once Kaecilius is dealt with?

Allen Warner: There have been clues about a known enemy of Asgard who finally got his hands on one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe just in time for winter. A legendary warrior will try to stop him, calling on her most powerful friends and allies to form A Force strong enough to save the world.

I can tell you I managed to acquire A-Force Vol. 1 (ANAD Marvel) during my Orlando trip. Managed to find it at the comic book shop at Marvel Super Hero Island in Islands of Adventure.

Wow, that design of Nico is awesome. And yay for A-force appearing in Avengers Academy. I don't play the game, but it's good to know that A-force will continue in videogames (the other one was Marvel Future Fight who had Nico, Singularity and She-hulk).

Thought you guys might appreciate A-Force getting a TV Shout Out!

Singularity and She Hulk basically confirmed for Avengers Academy:

I have this little thing I call the Internet. When girls made of stars, and big, beautiful, green women walk around, people tend to take pictures.

FYI - if you guys enjoyed Ben Caldwell's take on A-Force he's got some original art from the book up for sale on his site (as well as his Sketchbook 26 which is almost all awesome A-Force art).
