They’ve gone from a minor piece of comic book mythology to the center of the MCU thanks to significant appearances in both Disney+’s Loki series and the blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, and starting this December, the TVA is about to make its presence felt inside Marvel’s comic book universe, as well — thanks to a new limited series written by one of the people who brought Loki to the small screen.
Announced during the Marvel Fanfare panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, hosted by Marvel Comics editor-in-chief CB Cebulski and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, the new miniseries — titled, simply, TVA — displays the give-and-take between Marvel divisions in a particularly clear manner: the series, which will center around Ghost-Spider (the former Spider-Gwen, who has been sporting the new name since becoming stranded in the mainline Marvel comic book universe in her contemporary series) and other characters displaced from their home timelines, all of whom will sign up for a tour of duty with the new TVA… a cosmic organization dedicated to protect all timelines.
The series will be written by Katharyn Blair in her Marvel Comics debut; primarily known as a novelist under the pen-name K.R. Blair — her new novel The Hushed is due out this October — Blair was one of the writers on the second season of Disney+’s Loki, where she more than earned the right to call herself a TVA veteran. Art on the series comes from Pere Perez, with Pepe Larraz providing a cover to the first issue.
The TVA — or Time Variance Authority, if you’re that way inclined — was originally the creation of writer Walter Simonson and artist Sal Buscema for Marvel’s Mighty Thor series in the mid-1980s; they would later show up in Simonson’s later time as writer and artist of the Fantastic Four series, and in assorted other Marvel comics throughout the 1990s, before falling into obscurity; the group would then be resurrected for Marvel Studios’ Loki in 2021, becoming central to that series as well as Deadpool & Wolverine. In every incarnation, they were essentially time cops, ensuring that timelines were free from interference and shenanigans. It’ll be interesting to see what is different about the “new” TVA in this new series.
Expect more information about the new series in the coming months.
