HIGHER. FURTHER. FASTER.
Universal powerhouse MONICA RAMBEAU stars in her very own all-new adventure! The hero known as PHOTON has been charged with making a very special, very cosmic delivery - should be light work (get it?) for Monica... if family drama doesn't hold her back!
Rated T+

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Dec 16, 2022

    In all, Monica Rambeau: Photon #1 is a serviceable reintroduction to the character for new readers. Ewing lays out an excellent bit of character development to demonstrate Monica's current crisis of purpose, and the art is generally good. However, the second act feels chaotic and plagued by jarring pacing shifts. Read Full Review
