Kamala Khan is back - and she's an X-Man! Ms. Marvel bursts into the next phase of her life in an exciting adventure co-written by Iman Vellani, the MCU's own Kamala, and Sabir Pirzada of both DARK WEB: MS. MARVEL and her Disney+ series! That's right - the good news is that in the wake of her recent world-saving sacrifice, Ms. Marvel has been resurrected via Krakoan technology! What a way to learn she's both an Inhuman AND a mutant! The bad news is that her debut at the Hellfire Gala didn't go exactly as planned, and now all of mutantkind is being hunted worldwide! Plunged into a world of hate and fear, Kamala has a secret mission to pull off for the X-Men! Can an undercover Kamala infiltrate Orchis itself even as she struggles to acclimate to this new part of her identity? Collecting MS. MARVEL: THE NEW MUTANT #1-4, plus Kamala's first full appearance from ALL-NEW MARVEL NOW! POINT ONE #1.
· “Just got a chance to read Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1 and I can say with confidence it is an excellent Kamala story. Iman really gets the character and seeing her balance the mutant stuff and her previous history ends up making for a great read.” - Liam McGuire, Looper.com
· “Vellani’s been open about her love of Marvel comics, and I’m happy that love translates to her writing. She and Pirzada also manage to strike a balance between standard teenage heroics and the dread that’s permeated the Fall of X storyline so far; while other X-titles have played up on the latter, a nice dose of the former keeps readers invested.” - Collier Jennings, AIPT Comics
“I will always be an advocate of comic book actors adding to their character's comics tapestry, and having Vellani involved with Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant is definitely proof-of-concept for it to be successful at Marvel." - ComicBook.com
“This first issue is a thoughtful, well-executed flashpoint for Kamala's tenure, inching her slightly-closer to her MCU counterpart without losing what has already made her special on the page. When combined with exuberant art and an impossibly-earnest exploration of Kamala's personal sense of identity, Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1 has the makings of something special.” - ComicBook.com
Iman Vellani is a Canadian actress of Pakistani origin, well-known for portraying Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), the protagonist of the Disney+ miniseries Ms. Marvel in 2022 and is set to reprise the role in the Marvel Studios film The Marvels in 2023. Villani graduated from Unionville High School in Markham, Ontario, and was selected as a member of the TIFF Next Wave Committee at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Most of all, Iman hjas always been a huge fan of Marvel comics, and when Marvel heard she might be keen to write some comic adventures herself, they leapt at the chance for her put her stamp on the comic version of the character she’s brought to such vivid life in the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series. And the results have been even better than they’d hoped—the depth of her knowledge of the characters and her passion for their stories was immediately both clear and contagious!
