America Chavez and America Vasquez Both Get #1 in June – With Chavez Written By Vasquez

Ms America, America Chavez, was created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in the comic book series Vengeance, back in 2011. She gained greater popularity when recreated by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie for their Young Avengers series, as well as appearing in The Ultimates, and received a spinoff solo series subsequently.

Four years ago, Casey and Dragotta announced that they was creating a very similar character, America Vasquez, to be published by Image Comics as All-America Comix. According to Previewsworld, this will now be published in June 2020 – though with Dustin Nguyen rather than Nick Dragotta. Clarly stuff went down. But it is a clear indication that this is how the character might have been if written by Casey without Marvel editorial interference.

What makes this even more interesting is that June 2020 is also when Marvel Comics is publishing a new America Chavez series, Made In the USA, written by – get this – Kalinda Vasquez. So America Vasquez is based on America Chavez which is now written by Vasquez. Is someone doing this on purpose? Here are the solicitations for both…
