The Marvelous Minnie Mouse Morphs into Captain Marvel
Sharpen your claws and neaten your ducktail. As part of the imaginative tradition of Disney-MCU crossovers, Marvel has declared the release of a thrilling one-shot, “What If…? Minnie Became Captain Marvel” this November. This unexpected blend of Disney enchantment and Marvel universe follows the exhilarating adventures of Donald Duck as Wolverine and Thor.
The forthcoming edition will witness Minnie Mouse, donned in super-heroine allure, courtesy of Disney comic creators Steve Behling and Luca Barbieri, with artistic glamour drawn by Giada Perissinotto. So, it’s time for Minnie to swap the polka dot dress for a spandex-and-cowl combo!
Carol Danvers’ Origin with a Disney Twist
The new narrative promises a special touch to Captain Marvel’s origin, as initially designed by comic book legends Gerry Conway, John Buscema, Chris Claremont, Joe Sinnott, Jim Mooney, and David Anthony Kraft in the late 1970s.
Yes, Minnie will now flex her cosmic muscle to solve the riddle of her mysteriously acquired powers and embrace her new identity as Ms. Marvel. Of course, Disney lineage will make its mark plentifully with appearances of classic stars like Scrooge McDuck. Peg-Leg Pete ain’t holding back either; he’s revved up to pose as the notoriously wicked Scorpion.
Decoding Minnie’s Marvelous Past
We dive head-first into the tale as Minnie, the diligent reporter for The Chronicle, starts investigating Duckburg’s novel sensation, Captain Marvel. Throw in Skorpios’ attack on the Chronicle headquarters and the Beagle Boys’ raid on Scrooge McDuck’s vault, and you’ve got yourself a comic book page-turner. With Captain Marvel rushing to thwart these transgressions, Minnie stumbles upon an astonishing secret about her past. How does Ms. Marvel fit into Minnie’s life and Duckburg’s crime-fighting scene? This intriguing connection is the meat of the tale.

Editor Mark Paniccia lavishes praises for the creative trio – Steve, Luca, and Giada – stating that they beautifully encapsulate Carol Danvers’ essence in the narrative, and promises their offering as the most entertaining comic of the month.
In addition to the main cover, ardent collectors can feast on variants courtesy of acclaimed artists like Peach Momoko, Elena Casagrande, and Phil Noto. Noto provides a special “Virgin Variant” cover too. Pre-orders for “What If…? Minnie Became Captain Marvel” are accepted at your local comic shops.
