Today at HeroesCon, writer Kelly Sue Deconnick announced that she will be departing Captain Marvel after Secret Wars end this Fall.

According to The Beat , the news earned sighs of disappointment from the crowd full of "Carol Corps" members in the crowd. Deconnick explained that after the upcoming Captain Marvel movie was announced, she would have to “dig in for three more years or drop the mic,” but that Carol has taught her to “brave the next step.”When Deconnick took over writing the character Carol Danvers, the name was changed from Ms. Marvel to Captain Marvel, the costume went from a glorified swimsuit to a full-body suit with a sweet retractable helmet, and the character took a new direction into bona-fide heroism. The changes were met with near-unanimous praise and started a passionate fan-base that referred to themselves as the Carol Corps. That the upcoming movie is also called Captain Marvel implies that it will pull from Deconnick's popular run on the comic, which, if anything, shows how much of an impression her writing the character made.
