I have a vision for "Captain Marvel." I want this to be a book about optimism, about exceeding even our own expectations, about the power of possibility and the seeming magic of flight.
That said, my own optimism, my personal expectations are kept somewhat in check -- the market being what it is, an "ongoing" title seems to mean, what? 6-12 issues these days, isn't it? And that's if you're lucky. I want so badly to be proven wrong. We are trying very, very hard to overcome the learning curve and hit the ground running strong but I'm not planning year two at this point. If we get to 12 issues I will consider this a wild success.
C'mon now, people: prove me wrong. Show me that a female-led book about the power of the human spirit, about the many guises of heroism, a book wherein no one gets raped or puts her cervix on display, can break six issues, won't you?
