The Unstoppable Wasp, a comic series that has recently been cancelled by Marvel, will be returning for a brand new Young Adult prose novel in 2020.
Originally introduced to audiences in 2016 in the Free Comic Book Day issue of Civil War II, the character is the daughter of Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man. After being kidnapped and supposedly killed by foreign agents Maria was raised in the same programme that trained Black Widow. After escaping using Pym Particles to shrink herself down she created her own Wasp suit and eventually joined the Avengers.
When she gained US Citizenship she took the surname Van Dyne, the same as original Wasp Janet Van Dyne, and formed the program G.I.R.L. (Genius In action Research Labs) to recognise and help women across the world with genius intellects. The character has also been revealed to have Bipolar Disorder.
Following the cancellation of her most recent comic series Marvel has announced that she will be making a return in a new novel coming next year. The book, The Unstoppable Wasp, will be written by Sam Maggs. Maggs has previously written a number of books centred on women, including Wonder Women, and The Fangirl's Guide To The Galaxy, as well as the Captain Marvel comics.
Speaking to Marvel.com Maggs said, 'I am thrilled and so honored to be taking the Unstoppable Wasp on her next adventure with Marvel Press. Nadia Van Dyne’s scientific genius is matched only by her boundless optimism; she’s an incredible role model and exactly the kind of Super Hero I think we need right now. With her brilliant and diverse G.I.R.L. squad by her side, there’s nothing Nadia can’t do. Or is there!?! Guess you’ll have to pick up the novel to find out.'
