Captain Minnie: Marvel announces next Disney X Marvel What If? mash-up

‘What if Minnie became Captain Marvel?’ takes flight this November.

Following stories where Donald Duck becomes Wolverine and Thor, Minnie Mouse has now entered the chat. Marvel will release What if Minnie became Captain Marvel? in November, by the team of writers Steve Behling and Luca Barbieri, and artist Giada Perissinotto.

The story will pull directly from the first four issues of Ms. Marvel from the 1970s, which detailed the origin of how Carol Danvers, who is now Captain Marvel, became Ms. Marvel. You’ll see Pete as the Scorpion, and a Duckburg version of the original Captain Marvel.

“Steve, Luca and Giada perfectly capture the spirit of Carol Danvers’ origin, a real nostalgic treat with a Disney twist. Guaranteed to be the most fun comic of the month,” Editor Mark Paniccia said.

It’s by two acclaimed Italian comics creators — writer Luca Barbieri and artist Giada Perissinotto

“Donald Duck and Wolverine are two characters that seem almost impossible to make coexist, but in fact they possess very similar personality: they are both hot-tempered and unlucky, but in adversity they do not lose heart and always show that they have a big heart,” Barbieri said. “Once this point was focused, writing the story turned out to be easy and fun!”
