The final issue of Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant hit stands earlier this week, delivering the conclusion to Kamala Khan's first mission as a member of the X-Men.
After taking down a Stark Sentinel and disrupting an Orchis operation singlehandedly, it's safe to say Ms. Marvel has proven herself beyond a doubt to the mutant cause. However, this pivotal chapter for one of Marvel Comics' brightest stars is far from over.
Next March, Marvel Studios' own Ms. Marvel, Iman Vellani, will be joined by Sabir Pirzada to chronicle the hero's next steps in exploring her mutant identity. That will play out in the pages of Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace.
The four-issue limited series 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-favourite ex. This time around, co-writers Vellani and Pirzada will be joined by Scott Godlewski, who made his Marvel debut in the recent Alpha Flight series, while Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant artist Carlos Gómez provides the series' covers.
Here's the solicitation text for the first issue:
"Hated and feared! Ms. Marvel has officially come out to the world as a mutant and a member of the X-Men...and she’s about to learn just how hard things can get for mutantkind! Kamala Khan is used to being a hometown hero – there’s no way her community would turn on her just because she’s a mutant, right? Right?"
"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 says. "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."
