Created during the "Secret Wars" event, "A-Force" is one of the titles that will be continuing on after the universe-changing event has passed. However, it will be minus one of the writers at the helm of title. G. Willow Wilson of "Ms. Marvel" fame will take over as sole writer for the title while Marguret Bennet will be writing other titles.
Putting the rubber to the road -- or rather the pencil to the paper -- is "Storm" artist Victor Ibanez. So it can be assumed that these superheroes will be extremely easy on the eyes.
The roster for this all-female Avenging team includes She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, Dazzler, Nico and more. Wilson has also stated that a rotating guest cast will be something readers can look forward to as the series develops.

Cocreator Sana Amanat realizes that taking on an all-female team is a large responsibility, especially as readers, now more than ever, are reading with a feminist perspective. She told
Glamour magazine:
The industry's whole audience has changed. We have more female readers and minority readers, and they expect our characters to reflect them. The amount of female-driven titles we've launched that aren't being cancelled, that's a phenomenon in itself. "A-Force," "Ms. Marvel," "Spider-Gwen"—we couldn't have done these things seven or eight years ago. The dialogue of female representation is so hot right now, not just in comics but in general. And that makes us more responsible in how we depict our characters.
Marvel has yet to release a final order date for "A-Force," but it is listed as a fall All-New All-Different release.

The following pages are from Storm #4 featuring the aftermath of the Death of Wolverine. Notice how Marvel censored the finished page to have Wolverine (bottom left of page) sans a smoking a cigar.
