Mention has been bandied about (most lately, over in the Pulse on Comicon.con) over a notion involving the permanent return of Captain Mar-Vell. No hoax, no dream, no imaginary tale. The Guy, back from the dead.

The answer is, yeah, we considered it. We consider a lot of possibilities. In this case, I have a story line I’d been building towards involving a sort of massive cosmic intervention to deal with Marv’s current mental state (as some fans have quite correctly observed, there’s only so long Marv can go on doing this stuff before others start trying to rein him in). We discussed it, and ultimately decided we wouldn’t bring Mar-Vell back from the dead for it. This all happened weeks ago. So the matter was already settled well before word started leaking out. We’re still doing the storyline (over issues #15 to 18) but Mar-Vell will not be a part of it.

Beginning, middle, end of rumor.
