Originally conceived as a limited series tying into 2015's ''[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Secret Wars]]'', the first volume of ''A-Force'' was written by Creator/GWillowWilson (''[[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]]'') and Creator/MargueriteBennett (''ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}}''), with Jorge Molina on illustration duties. During this brief run of issues, A-Force was introduced as the peacekeeping squadron of Arcadia, a "feminist paradise" that existed on [[PatchworkWorld Battleworld]]. When one of their own is unfairly banished by [[ComicBook/DoctorDoom God Doom]], team leader ComicBook/SheHulk resolves to make things right, all the while uncovering a conspiracy about the world they inhabit.

* {{Utopia}}: Arcadia - a LadyLand that's part of the world replacing Earth-616 after the destruction of the Marvel multiverse in the ''[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Secret Wars]]'' CrisisCrossover - where women rule the world, is described as a "feminist paradise". However, the first issue suggests it might be a subversion and Arcadia still has to abide to the laws of Battleworld (as in, laws of Doctor Doom) and the comic seems to say that utopia in one place is worthless if [[CrapsackWorld the rest of the world is still hell]].

'''''A-Force''''' is a Creator/MarvelComics title following an [[AmazonBrigade all-female]] {{super team}} spun-out from ''Franchise/TheAvengers''.

Originally conceived as a limited series tying into 2015's ''[[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 Secret Wars]]'', the first volume of ''A-Force'' was written by Creator/GWillowWilson (''[[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]]'') and Creator/MargueriteBennett (''[[ComicBook/AngelaMarvelComics Angela]]''), with Jorge Molina on illustration duties. During this brief run of issues, A-Force was introduced as the peacekeeping squadron of Arcadia, a "feminist paradise" that existed on [[PatchworkWorld Battleworld]]. When one of their own is unfairly banished by [[ComicBook/DoctorDoom God Doom]], team leader ComicBook/SheHulk resolves to make things right, all the while uncovering a conspiracy about the world they inhabit.

With the second volume --this time set in the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel universe-- A-Force has never existed, prompting Singularity (a cosmic being who met them on Battleworld) to reunite with her new friends -- despite none of them having any memory or knowledge of the reality she used to know. Kelly Thompson (''Jem & The Holograms'') and Ben Caldwell assume creative duties, following the original team's departure.

Each member [[FiveTokenBand covers unique corners]] of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse [[note]]She-Hulk for ComicBook/TheAvengers, Medusa for ComicBook/TheInhumans, Dazzler for the ComicBook/XMen, Nico for mystic Marvel, Singularity for cosmic Marvel[[/note]], including:

* ComicBook/SheHulk, superstrong cousin of the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk; TheLeader.
* ComicBook/{{Medusa}}, Queen of ComicBook/TheInhumans with PrehensileHair; TheLancer.
* ComicBook/{{Dazzler}}, former [[ComicBook/XMen X-Man]] who can change sound [[LightTheWay into light]].
* ComicBook/NicoMinoru, former ComicBook/{{Runaway|s}} and teenage LadyOfBlackMagic.
* Singularity, a {{cosmic entity}} who identifies as female; TheChick.
* [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]], [[SixthRanger a later addition]] joining the main team after ''Secret Wars''.

This book is considered part of Marvel's initiative to diversify its comics franchises, alongside Kamala Khan as the new [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Ms. Marvel]], [[Comicbook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]] taking over the mantle of Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, and [[AffirmativeActionLegacy a woman taking over the mantle]] of [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]].

Compare to Creator/DCComics' ''[[ComicBook/DCComicsBombshells Bombshells]]'', also written by Bennett.

----
!! General tropes:
* AmazonBrigade: The entire point of the book.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Singularity, who is technically naked, because she has a CelestialBody.
* CelestialBody: Singularity's body is made of "outer space", including stars.
* FeministFantasy: Flat out stated to be one by the writers. The story is about female superheroes being heroes in their own right, out of the shadows of the male characters they were either [[DistaffCounterpart spun-off from]], [[LoveInterest introduced as the lover of]], or took orders from on a team.
* TheLancer: Medusa continuously questions She-Hulk's orders by stating what ''she'd'' do if she were in charge.
-->'''Medusa:''' "Do your duty, Jennifer. Before I do it ''for'' you."
* OnlySixFaces: The art tries very hard to avert OnlyOneFemaleMold with questionable success, but saying that it only has six faces might be an overstatement. Exemplified by [[https://41.media.tumblr.com/7f6ce693519b69fa86c4645c7dbe29a1/tumblr_nw7z3ijq9O1s1bn8oo1_500.jpg this page]] that probably wanted to suggest unity, but ends up more into interchangeability.
* PerpetualSmiler: Singularity is typically portrayed with a faint smile, making her seem either oblivious or unconcerned with the events going on around her.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The creators themselves describe the team as a band of differing personalities, ideologies and powersets that come together for a common cause.
* StoryBreakerPower: Singularity has been [[RealityWarper compared to Q]] of Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration fame by the author.
* TwoferTokenMinority: Each member represents a different "corner" of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. Nico represents not only the KidHero, but also the mystic sphere.[[note]]Also, she's the only Asian on the team, potentially making her a ''threefer''.[[/note]]

[[folder:Volume 1: Battleworld]]
* BoobsAndButtPose: AvertedTrope in the page image. Deliberately so, according to one of the writers [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/g-willow-wilson-responds-to-the-new-yorkers-a-force-porn-star-criticism here]].
* CameFromTheSky: Singularity literally fell from the sky at the end of issue #1. And in issue #2 when Nico tries to explain this to the others Battle World's AlienSky gets a nod. From where? It's nothing up there!
* CasualDangerDialog: Almost the whole 5th issue.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: She-Hulk is forced to make some harsh and unpopular decisions to protect her teammates and subjects.
* CuteMute: Singularity in her introduction. She speaks her first word at the end of issue #3.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, Loki! She got tired of She-Hulk's rule and conspired to get rid of her. This backfires spectacularly.]]
* FelonyMisdemeanor: In issue one, Miss America accidentally launches a Megalodon out of Arcadia's borders and into the Deadlands. Thus, she is banished for breaking one of [[spoiler:Doom]]'s laws.
* GeniusLoci: Singularity is a pocket universe that has gained sapience.
* HappilyAdopted: Nico and Miss America are "wards" of Loki (female version, who is apparently ''Mistress of Secrets''), and love each other like family.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Singularity. Albeit the last page and the new series solicits show that she survived.]]
* HotterAndSexier: Nico has neved [[BareYourMidriff bared her midriff]] before. She has always dressed as a goth, but always covering her whole body, with no room for sexy clothing.
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Nico pulls this with Singularity. Loki, being the ''awesome'' parent figure she is, at first assumes that Nico summoned the strange girl to [[NotSoImaginaryFriend feel less lonely]].
* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:When Loki's scheme is revealed and she's captured, she decides that if she can't have Arcadia, no one will and brings down the Shield, bringing in an invasion of zombies.]]
* KidWithTheLeash: Nico Minoru provides an emotional tether for Singularity, and keeps her grounded onto a human perspective.
* LadyLand: Arcadia, one of the lands within Battleworld, is described by the writers as "a feminist paradise". It is a world where women came to be in control.
* TheLeader: Played with. She-Hulk is the official Baroness of Arcadia, but Medusa, Nico, Storm, Dazzler, ''and'' Captain Marvel are all leaders in their own right. The potential for conflict is... fraught.
* AMotherToHerMen: She-Hulk is shown to be a compassionate and protective leader, doing her best to protect her citizens and teammates from harm.
* MissionControl: She-Hulk is this in the first issue, directing orders from a command center.
* RulesLawyer: Battleworld's Steven Strange chastises Baroness She-Hulk for not upholding the letter of [[spoiler:Doom]]'s laws. It's implied that, despite being appointed to do so, She-Hulk has instead used LoopholeAbuse and ExactWords to protect her subjects.
* TheScapegoat: Queen Medusa assumes [[spoiler:Singularity]] is responsible for the portals because one opens when she feels threatened... never mind that the first was apparently already open ''before'' she arrived. Not being able to talk she can't even defend herself, but the others stand up for her.
* SmallSecludedWorld: Arcadia is this, being an island isolated from the rest of Battleworld. Unlike some examples of the trope, though, they do communicate with the outside world, but usually when there's some serious matter to attend to.
* ThreateningShark: An attack from a prehistoric, long-extinct species of shark is what leads to Miss America's banishment and the rest of the events of the series.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Baroness She-Hulk is shown to be this, in comparison to most of the other barons and rulers that inhabit Battleworld.
* WhatTheHellHero: Nico lashes out at She-Hulk when her "sister", Miss America, gets banished and Baroness She-Hulk doesn't stop it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Volume 2: All-New, All-Different]]
* AllLovingHero: She-Hulk and Captain Marvel are both [[TheParagon Paragons]] through and through, doing their best to help and do the right thing. Singularity is a mix between this and TheCutie, only wanting to make friends, help people, and have fun. These three are also the ones who want to try and stop Anti-Matter without killing him, if possible.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace:
** Justified with Medusa after Nico casts a spell that allows her to survive in space without a helmet--since, with one on, Medusa's powers would be useless.
** Averted with Dazzler, which is then exploited by Anti-Matter. Dazzler was the only member of the team not adapted to surviving in space, so he blasts her ''first'' to rupture her suit.
* BlackSheep: Issue #2 reveals that Nico's family views her as this due to her superpowers and DoomMagnet tendencies.
* BluntYes: When Dazzler accuses Medusa of disliking giving everyone a vote because a queen has little use for democracy, Medusa just flatly says she's correct.
* BoobsAndButtPose: Despite the trope being deliberately averted in the cover above, it is played absolutely straight in regards to She-Hulk on [[https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-0/s526x395/12687788_953227408093883_2663397614023345342_n.jpg?oh=55051a0475d70dce6ac6bd561f99b852&oe=576264B6 this variant]].
* ByTheBookCop: Thor!Allison still obeys the laws of Doom, even separated from her original world. She begins to have doubts about this later on, however.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Nico has tried to retire from superheroics and live a relatively normal and visit her distant family in Japan. That doesn't work out when Singularity and the rest of the team drop on her doorstep, with Anti-Matter in tow.
* CareBearStare: A-Force ultimately defeats The Countess by turning themselves into copies of Nico and group casting a spell using the lyrics of [[Music/TheBeatles Love Is All You Need]] as an incantation to make her feel all the positive emotion she never experienced during her life in Killville on Battleworld. This renders her enlightened and remorseful, but Nico still punches her out for mind controlling her to commit evil.
* TheCape: She-Hulk resolves to protect Singularity within seconds of meeting her. The other women (aside from Captain Marvel) need a bit more convincing.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: InUniverse lampshade-hanging. When Singularity meets the canon universe's Dazzler, she is shocked by how different she is and how angry she's become. Battleworld's Dazzler was largely based on her original personality and appearance.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Nico has grown weary of being a DoomMagnet and wants to have some semblance of an ordinary life. She also doesn't have complete confidence in her abilities.
* CorruptTheCutie: The Countess [[spoiler:tries to brainwash Nico to join her side.]]
* TheCutie: Singularity tends to smile a lot and only wants to help and make her friends happy.
* DeathIsCheap: Dazzler is killed by Antimatter, but comes back rather quickly. Alice, whom Nico was forced to kill in order to end the virus that turned people into insect creatures, comes back from the dead ''within minutes!''
* FireForgedFriends: Invoked by She-Hulk and Captain Marvel, since Thor!Allison is a ByTheBookCop and tries to arrest them for "treason", thinking they're the same A-Force from Battleworld.
* {{Foil}}: Medusa and Dazzler. One is a no-nonsense and haughty queen and the other is a snarky and relatively poor entertainer. The difference between the two is best demonstrated when Dazzler accuses Medusa of not valuing a group consensus because she's a queen and thus has no respect for democracy. [[BluntYes Medusa agrees.]]
* AGodAmI: When the team tries talking to Anti-Matter to resolve their conflict peacefully, the attempt fails because Anti-Matter sees them as "ants", and views negotiating with them like a farmer negotiating with livestock.
* ItsAllMyFault: After [[spoiler:Dazzler dies fighting Anti-Matter]], Singularity decides to confront him alone because she feels terrible about pulling everyone together.
* GutFeeling: Not said in so many words, but the same idea comes across when She-Hulk attempts to negotiate with Anti-Matter, because every response he gives just sounds more and more like [[CardCarryingVillain Card-Carrying Villainy]].
* TheJuggernaut: In the first two issues, nothing that the ladies throws at Anti-Matter can stop him for long. At best, they can teleport him away or disperse him, but he's always assured to come back and attack them again.
* TheLadette: Both She-Hulk and Thor!Allison are {{Boisterous Bruiser}}s. This allows the two to bond during an after-battle meal.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: The series usually goes out of its way to avoid this. Whenever two heroes have strong disagreements, someone on the team will always suggest trying to talk things out first. In fact, they also try this with the villains from time-to-time.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Downplayed, when knocked out by Nico the Countess disappears, [[spoiler: so does the Dazzler Thor when she succumbs to her M-Pox]].
* OffModel: In some issues, Nico's Staff Of One is about half the size it normally is. There is also one cover art where she has blank red eyes for no reason. There was also at least one panel where Singularity got pupils in her normally blank eyes.
* PragmaticHero: Medusa always opt for the most efficient, decisive solution to a problem, even if [[GoodIsNotNice it's not particularly nice]]. She is, however, still trying to do the right thing and has lines that she won't cross. She also keeps her word once given.
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Singularity takes it upon herself to reunite Arcadia's A-Force on Earth-616 --- even though none of them remember Battleworld, or Singularity for that matter.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She-Hulk is positively giddy at the idea of fighting a giant dragon, saying that it was always something on her bucket list.
* KnightInSourArmor: Dazzler has become this in her current incarnation; she's not happy about being dragged into this mess, but she does want to help.
* TheLancer: Averted with Captain Marvel. When She-Hulk starts having trouble keeping the team in line, she gives Jennifer encouragement and even advice.
* TheLoad: Medusa gets on Dazzler's bad side when she states that Dazzler is useless against Anti-Matter (since her powers have the least effect on him).
* MoralityPet: Medusa [[GoodIsNotNice at first decides to turn Singularity over to Anti-Matter]] to make the monster go away, but after Singularity shows sympathy for one of Medusa's lost men, Medusa decides to save her no matter what.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: In Issue #5, the team meets a Battleworld version of Dazzler who is also a Thor. Dazzler makes it clear that the other version of herself makes her uncomfortable, but the two still begin to bond.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Prime Earth version of this team fits this more than the original Battleworld incarnation. That's because in Battleworld, they were an official combat unit. On this Earth, very few of the women have anything to do with each other and only get together because Singularity wants [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether them all to be together again]].
* RetGone: Singularity is crushed because only she remembers Battleworld, but she still wants to reconnect with her friends. She keeps trying to reach out, but no one knowing her becomes more and more disheartening.
* SixthRanger: Captain Marvel, but downplayed in that most of her time will be spent with ComicBook/{{The Ultimates|2015}}.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Singularity finds that the new "Prime Earth" (Earth-616 after ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'') is very like Arcadia, where she came from, but different.
* TeamDad: She-Hulk is forced into this role to keep the team together. She puts her foot down hard and firmly when she needs to.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Much of the team operates this way (only She-Hulk, Singularity and Captain Marvel are friendly and genuinely want to work together). In particular, Medusa and Dazzler really don't like each other.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: As the team discusses whether or not to try negotiating with, or just kill Anti-Matter, Dazzler states that she thinks killing him is the best option. After Medusa says she agrees, Dazzler says she wants to change her mind, because if she and Medusa are agreeing, that means she made mistake somewhere.
