Marvel Announces Ongoing Mockingbird Artist And Plot Details
We’ve been pretty excited ever since it was announced that Mockingbird, A.K.A Bobbi Morse is finally getting her own solo comic. We’ve known for a while now that the new series would be written by Chelsea Cain, who penned the well received S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary Special: Mockingbird one-shot but now we have some plot details and artist!
“Truly, the plot of the first five issues is rooted very much in Bobbi’s medical history. [Nick] Fury saved her life with a dose of Super Solider Serum and Infinity Formula, and I really wanted to explore the fallout from that.” Cain told Marvel.com “She’s got to go in every week for a medical check-up and I loved the idea of this medical clinic for super heroes—a place where they go to get stitched up and get their Prozac refilled. And the waiting room would be full of bored heroes leafing through old issues of ‘Us Weekly’.”
Artist Kate Niemczyk will be bringing Bobbi to life and Chelsea Cain is confident that they’ll make a pretty great team.
“It was really important to me that we find someone who could equal her in talent and style. Kate draws really beautiful, strong women. It’s kind of her specialty. Bobbi is sexy—and she’s comfortable with sex—and I want to show that and at the same time avoid objectifying her. She’s strong. She’s physically competent. And Kate can draw a woman in a metal bikini and thigh highs and somehow make her look completely in control and badass. So obviously we’re going to get along fine.”
