Solicit Synopsis

STARBRAND REBORN Part Three: THE RISE OF THE WAR WIDOW

The battle for the Starbrand heats up like a supernova, as Captain Marvel goes toe to toe with Firelord, Ghost Rider races the Silver Surfer and Brood Thor… tries to eat the Avengers. Meanwhile the Black Widow kicks much butt in outer space with a bold new weapon in her arsenal. That’s right, the Black Widow + the War Machine armor = the all-new, all-deadly War Widow.

Trivia

• Captain Marvel's sarcastic quip about Firelord asking her to smile more is a reverence to sexist social media comments made regarding Brie Larson's portrayal of Carol Danvers in the Captain Marvel movie.
