Captain Marvel series quietly killed off by Marvel
Marvel has killed off a Captain Marvel series before it even had a chance to get rolling since it launched last year.
Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel is one of the longest-running superheroes in the Marvel comic book universe making her debut in Marvel Super-Heroes #12 in December 1967. Arguably the character became more popular than ever when she appeared in the MCU and played a pivotal role in the downfall of the “Mad Titan” Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.

Captain Marvel would later appear in other MCU productions, the last of which was the movie The Marvels in 2023. Since that time, we’ve not heard much else about the charismatic superhero played by Brie Larson.
That being said, despite the fame of the MCU, let’s not forget about when Captain Marvel’s journey began, in good old comic book media. The most recent comic book series starring Carol Danvers is Captain Marvel with its debut issue arriving in October 2023, written by Alyssa Wong.
Sadly, as reported by comicbookmovie.com, less than a year after its debut, Captain Marvel, which launched to coincide with The Marvels (2023), has been cancelled after just 10 issues.
“What a wild ride! I've had so much fun writing Carol, Yuna, and some true cosmic weirdness,” said Alyssa Wong following the cancellation of the series. “From place-swapping shenanigans to body horror, high-stakes heists to quiet, powerful moments, it's been an absolute blast(aar). And you've been with us every step of the way!”
She continued: “Thank you for your love and enthusiasm. Every time I read your letters, they make my day. You are all True Believers..but more than that, thank you for believing in this story, this team, and all of us. I can't wait to see where Carol's journey takes her next!”
Obviously, this won't be the end of the Captain Marvel character whatsoever, because she’s a huge member of the Marvel franchise. So we can expect to see her return in other comic book tales as well as the MCU.
