Hope

Debuting in the pages of Warlock #1 in 1999, Hope is a Marvel creation from the writing and artistic talents of Louise Simonson and Pascual Ferry, arriving at the tail end of a decade that pushed comics into bold new territory. Her story unfolds in the company of some genuinely compelling figures — Warlock, Rahne Sinclair, and others who populate that late-Modern Age series with real energy. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Hope is something of a hidden gem, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into a short-lived but distinctive corner of the Marvel universe.
