Since Marvel typically does a piss-poor job of marketing their female characters, I'm very skeptical about this.
Marvel
Formerly known by names including "Atlas" and "Timely", Marvel Entertainment is the publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Daredevil. Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company, Marvel is one of the "Big Two" comic publishers along with DC Comics.
All Girls Marvel Team series a possibility? Spread the word!
I don't like the fact that Carol will be Captain Marvel soon.It seems detrimental to the character, if they were to put her on an all-girls team as they basically gave her a man's mantle.She's more powerful than every character that has ever used the name Captain Marvel accept for Genis.I don't really see why she's still stuck in his shadow.
How would they be ruined anymore than Bendis is ruining them in Avengers? (Accept Sue)I want Spider-Woman,Ms. Marvel and Sue Storm away from there.
@CitizenBane: Cullen Bunn is a good writer. You should give it a chance.
@Vance Astro: Again, Cullen Bunn. Look at what he did in the the Deep and Fearless. And again, Stephen Wacker thought nobody was taking Carol seriously as Ms.
@jrock85: But we're doing word of mouth to get this project going.
@TDK_1997: As if Bendis isn't ruining them. What's so bad if they team up?
If done properly, this could be great. Properly would mean a diverse, well balanced roster, a creative team capable of bringing to life real women rather than stereotypes or caricatures, and an initial threat that indicates the need for a female team without being excessively contrived. Those are some high bars. I'm not saying they can't be met... in fact, I'd like both DC and Marvel to do this... (yes, I know BoP qualifies, I'd like them to target younger and innocent to boot).

I'd buy this in a second.
The same ... and by that I mean as soon as the trade comes out and I can have it shipped form the States to here.
@spiderbat87: Val is already confirmed to lead.
@Mercy_: Then spread the word! Post the links on the second post!
@Queen's Halo: Spread the word! Post the links around on the second post!
@TheOptimist: I think it can be done. Lord knows the Marvel girls need more spotlight on them and interact with one another than be shadowed by the guys they are dating.
@spiderbat87: It's great. It's Valkyries' story and you do get to go inside her head. I highly recommend it and it's much better than that poor event.
@AgeofHurricane: The Cast isn't official yet, but Storm is pretty likely.
Yeah, even if she isn't, the idea of having an all female team lead by Valkyrie is quite intriguing anyways, i already posted this subject over in the Storm forums if thats spreading the word.@spiderbat87: It's great. It's Valkyries' story and you do get to go inside her head. I highly recommend it and it's much better than that poor event.
@AgeofHurricane: The Cast isn't official yet, but Storm is pretty likely.
@AgeofHurricane: Great! Thank you! But I hope that there is a mix of known and lesser known characters. I REALLY want Songbird on this team. I hope you posted the bleeding cool and the Tumblr links as well.
@Joules: Most likely a group of 8 female heroes done by Valkyrie. I hope it's diverse and not say, all Avengers only.
So do i, and no i didn't, but, I'll go edit my post and insert them in.@AgeofHurricane: Great! Thank you! But I hope that there is a mix of known and lesser known characters. I REALLY want Songbird on this team. I hope you posted the bleeding cool and the Tumblr links as well.

Cullen's writing isn't what i'm worried about.Any book can be written well and fail from a lack of promotion also I disagree with Stephen Wacker, what makes him think people weren't taking her seriously as her own persona away from Captain Marvel?@Vance Astro: Again, Cullen Bunn. Look at what he did in the the Deep and Fearless. And again, Stephen Wacker thought nobody was taking Carol seriously as Ms.
@AgeofHurricane: Great! Hope it goes well!
@Vance Astro: I think this book REALLY needs word of mouth to get going, like we're doing here. Just tell everyone you can about it.
I'll admit, I'm used to Ms. Marvel, but you got to admit, Captain Marvel's new look commands more respect than the busty and revealing Ms. Marvel outfit.
@spiderbat87: Sue has a very good chance of joining. Unique power and all.

Bendis has ruined them but I don't wnat them to become even worse than that.And for Sue Storm,she is a great character and is becoming cooler and cooler.
@TDK_1997: I don't think they NEVER had them. They just haven't been noticed as much as the bigger heroes.
@TDK_1997: Why would them being on an all girl team screw them up?
I'll support it no matter what because i'm a fan.I just want everyone else to get on board so we can keep it going.I don't care too much that she became Captain Marvel as long as she's written well.@AgeofHurricane: Great! Hope it goes well!

- I think it has little shot of lasting based on prior attempts at recent female solo and team books, but i wish them luck.
- I agree that there is almost nothing left out there with a female character at the forefront, its pretty sparse
