What’s Happening:

Minnie Became Captain Marvel and Marvel & Disney: What If…? Mickey & Friends Became the Fantastic Four, which are on sale next month.

  • Crafted by a trio of acclaimed Disney comic creators – writer Luca Barbieri and Steve Behling along with artist Alessandro Pastrovicchio – MARVEL & DISNEY: WHAT IF…? MICKEY & FRIENDS BECAME THE AVENGERS #1 will retell Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s legendary Avengers #1.
  • Released in 1963, this groundbreaking issue saw Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and the Wasp come together for the first time, combining their power and making comic book history in an epic battle with Loki!
  • Donald Duck is Thor, Mickey Mouse is Iron Man, Goofy is The Hulk, and Minnie Mouse and Pluto are The Wasp and Ant-Man. How did these sensational superheroes become the mighty Avengers, and what part does a “cake monster” and GLADSTONE-LOKI play in their origin?
