Reports of Kamala Khan’s death have been greatly exaggerated.
But as we all know, death is rarely permanent in superhero comics, and Kamala is no exception.
She’ll soon be back on stands, and that’s not even the biggest news.

“This was way scarier than joining the MCU for me,” Vellani tells EW.
But you’re free to hold a comic book!
I was given a very professional tool to write what is essentially my own fan fiction."

In a nod tothat big revelation from theMs.
Marvelseries finale, the new comic will be titledMs.
Marvel: The New Mutant.
Like her onscreen counterpart, the comic version of Kamala is officially a mutant now.
Her newfound mutant status doesn’t replace her Inhuman history, Vellani promises.
Instead, it gives Marvel’s first major Muslim superhero a whole new identity to reckon with.
Given the historical animosity between mutants and Inhumans, it’ll probably be a struggle.
“I want to make it very, very clear that we are not reconning her Inhuman origin.
“Our book will absolutely reflect all those core themes of identity that theMs.
Marvelcomics have consistently explored only now there’s a whole new label that Kamala has to learn to accept.
It’s going to be pretty crazy.”
Like Kamala’s original costume, this one was designed by McKelvie.
“She was throwing out references to specific comics that came out before either of us were born.
“Oh my God, I love it.
you’re free to do anything with those stretchy powers,” Vellani says.
There’s no need to worry about budgets or effects.”
