Marvel Announces Mockingbird Series

With an anticipated Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff on the horizon, it’s probably no surprise that the All-New All-Different Marvel would want to give fan-favorite former Avenger Mockingbird a series of her own.

The series will be written by novelist Chelsea Cain, according to Newsarama. No details on artists or story were available yet, and the project was announced at the Diamond Retailer Summit earlier today.

“Honestly, the cool thing about writing Mockingbird is that she has never had her own story before,” said Cain. “She has only appeared in other people’s books. So we have no idea who she is, really. We might have gotten the odd interior narration, but nothing that really informs any deep character development.”

Mockingbird’s most regular foil, her on-again, off-again romantic partner Hawkeye, has been well-represented in recent years due to his appearance in the Avengers films, while this is Mockingbird’s first solo series. She does have a one-shot celebrating “Fifty Years of S.H.I.E.L.D.” coming in November.
