Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant wrapped this week with Kamala Khan destroying Orchis’ lab at Empire State University, tackling her very own Amazing Spider-Man: Crisis on Campus-style story and owning the intersectionality of the many aspects of her identity. Oh, and she got her bangle back! A great time was had by all.
But Kamala’s Krakoa-era story isn’t over yet.
(Because there’ll be an issue five?)
HAHAHAHHA, NO, YOU FOOL! This is Big Two comics. Marvel is launching another Ms. Marvel miniseries with a different subtitle, the same writers and a different artist.
This March, Marvel Studios’ own Ms. Marvel, Iman Vellani, and Sabir Pirzada return to chronicle Kamala’s next steps into exploring her mutant identity in Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace.
Because Mutant Mayhem was already taken.
The four-issue series, drawn by Alpha Flight‘s Scott Godlewski, will continue to cement Ms. Marvel’s role in the X-Men mythos while staying true to the character’s roots and celebrating what makes her such a standout hero in the Marvel Universe. Her upcoming adventure will take her back to Jersey City, where she’ll have to confront another Fall of X-related threat while dealing with the fallout of being outed as a mutant. Balancing both will bring Ms. Marvel into contact with more X-Men (as well as iconic X-Men villains) and reunite her with key supporting players of her own, including a fan-favorite ex.
Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant artist Carlos Gómez will provide covers.
“It’s been an absolute joy and privilege to get to co-write Ms. Marvel with Iman Vellani, who has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is THE voice of Ms. Marvel on the page just as much as she is on the screen,” Pirzada said in comments provided by Marvel. “We are excited to report that Kamala’s mutant journey will continue on in Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace. It will be Kamala’s most dangerous ride yet.”
More dangerous than that time she was killed in another hero’s book? We’ll see about that.
