A new comic is seeing Ms. Marvel team up with some of the biggest Marvel heroes and anti-heroes this Summer in a new crossover event with Wolverine, Moon Knight, and Venom.
When Kamala first debuted in Captain Marvel #14, no one expected the teenage superhero fan to take over the Ms. Marvel comic line. On top of getting a comic of her own, she also became the first Muslim superhero with a leading role in a comic. Ever since, she's only become bigger in popularity, even becoming the main character of Square Enix's Avengers game in 2020 and getting her MCU debut this June. Now she's in for a massive new crossover event, and it's going to team her up with some of the biggest names in Marvel.
According to Marvel, the upcoming story is going to be "a series of oversized one-shots by writer Jody Houser." This indicates that this new story is going to have an overarching plot. The series is expected to literally have the call to mystery land in Kamala's backyard. As Marvel describes it, "when a mysterious threat lands in New York City, Ms. Marvel takes matters into her own embiggened hands." However, knowing how massive the Marvel universe is, this is something that other heroes were bound to notice, and that's where the main draw for this comic series comes in. Ms. Marvel is going to team up with not one, not two, but three heroes across the Marvel Comics roster. Joining her on her quest to solve this threatening mystery will be Wolverine, Moon Knight, and Venom. Based on the first issue of the series being called Ms. Marvel & Wolverine, there will be a total of three issues at least with each one focusing on Kamala's team-up with that hero. Marvel details that in this first issue, it will also feature not just Wolverine but the X-Men as well as the unknown force has made "Krakoan security/tech compromised." Joining Wolverine to team up with Kamala will be Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey based on the cover for the new series by Ze Carlos, but it's not unthinkable that other favorites could join in the fight.
Currently, it's unknown whether Ms. Marvel will team with Moon Knight or Venom first in the next entry in the series, but it's exciting knowing that fans of these characters will get a fun team-up with one of the biggest growing heroes in Marvel today. In fact, Marvel even promises that this series will be "a perfect jumping-on point for newcomers for newcomers to the saga of Ms. Marvel as it lays the groundwork for her exciting new era." It's clear that Marvel is preparing for an influx of new readers to learn more about the character since this will be debuting not too long after the premiere of the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series, so it's awesome to see that this will be a crossover with new fans in mind as they can start here and not have to worry about nearly a decade's worth of backstory to catch up on the character.
The massive crossover event is set to begin July 13th and will debut digitally and in local comic book stores. Readers will be able to pick up the physical copy with a choice of three different cover arts, two of which will be variants by Mahmud Asrar and Peach Momoko. Based on what Marvel's saying, it looks like this will be a great beginner story for people wanting to get into Kamala Khan. What better place to start than with an epic team-up between Ms. Marvel and Wolverine, Moon Knight & Venom to kick things off for new readers.
Readers looking forward to Kamala's team-ups with Marvel heroes like Venom and Moon Knight can find Ms. Marvel & Wolverine when it releases on July 13th!
