Penn will get a taste of the Marvel universe when comic book artist and writer Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez visits Ware College House on Friday March 29th, 5pm-7pm (MOBO Lounge).

Miranda-Rodriguez worked with Marvel Comics for 11 years, previously focusing on superheroes of African descent, like Black Panther, Luke Cage and Storm, but after writing his first story for the anthology series “Guardians of the Galaxy: Tales of the Cosmos,” Miranda-Rodriguez recognized the larger role he could play. Enter La Borinqueña – a superhero of Miranda-Rodriguez’ own creation. 

La Borinqueña, also known as college student Marisol Rios De La Luz, spends a semester abroad in Puerto Rico, where she encounters the island's spirits and gains the power of superhuman strength, flight and the ability to control storms. La Borinqueña has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon for the people of Puerto Rico, representing the island’s traditions, heritage and struggles that are often overlooked in pop culture.

First 20 students to RSVP and attend the entire event will received autograph copy of the graphic novel.

Food will be provided.
