^^^ so what's the backstory with the sculpture? how long did it take? what materials?
Monica will likely play a key role in the next Captain Marvel movie, so they're going to continue to give her as much panel time as they can to drum up interest. I agree that the best way to do that is to give Monica her own title. Even if it's a limited series run, it beats turning up in stories that prove that "The House of Ideas" no longer applies to Marvel. Some of the contributors in this forum have better concepts and ideas than what Marvel is pushing these days. They're getting by on their brand, not content, and they know it. A shame.

At the end of the day, I guess we should be thankful that Monica is getting a stealth push. But for the MCU and Disney's insistence on showing an inclusive universe in its films, Monica would probably be in limbo right now, along with several other great characters.

man i thought the trenchcoat (black not brown) was >>> the wings
the wings just reminded me of a sugar glider
don't like them on spider-man either
the design worked better for storm, because she looked regal in that stuff. Or atleast it fit better with the character and the overall design and powers.

Technically, Storm had a cape, not merely the demi-winged look. And she was the only one at the time who was given a cape and called a goddess on the X-Men, so it worked naturally. Monica's first costume is admittedly disco era-ish. But the trench is no better. Didn't everyone on the NextWave team have a trenchcoat? That alone pretty much tells you that it was meant to be a fashion trend, not a permanent mainstay look.
Given a choice, I'd ask for a complete new design for Monica and ditch both the wingpits and the trench coat. I'd also make sure that the colorist earned her/his salary and set aside the basic black and white look. Even if it's just adding a third color to the scheme. It's time for a new look that embraces her Spectrum namesake.
And yes, that means even the derivative Starlin star that she wears on her chest should go, especially now that Carol wears the star full time. I'm surprised no villain has clowned Monica yet for wearing that reworked emblem now that Carol is THE Captain Marvel. It looks like she couldn't afford the real thing, so her grandmother folded it over on itself and stitched together a patchwork emblem from spare fabric. Time to let it go. As long as it's not a Power Girl boob window, I'd probably be ok with whatever else they come up with. Not that I'd mind Monica showing some skin -- that would be a first for her -- but I'd prefer tasteful, not tongue in cheek.
