Ms. Marvel is back from the dead as... an X-Man - Gamezon

Eight weeks ago, Ms. Marvel died. Her family has moved on. That’s thanks to Emma Frost, who is on the run with the rest of the surviving X-Men after Orchis, the human supremacist mad science cabal, depopulated Krakoa and murdered many mutants. There’s a lot going on around the globe.

What makes Emma care about an Inhuman? Well, in case you hadn’t heard, Kamala’s an Inhuman The following are some examples of how to get started: a mutant now, as revealed in 2023’s X-Men: Hellfire Gala. Emma is most concerned with protecting mutant children. Emma, who is determined to protect mutant children, is the only one that knows that Kamala, though a X-Men Heavyweight, is a mutation.

What’s happening on the pages of your favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. The context may be lacking. There will still be some great comics. You can read it if you’ve missed out on the last issue.

So, Emma kicks off Kamala’s entry into the world of the X-Men in classic Professor Xavier fashion: by just wiping the memory of a traumatic event from her family’s minds without asking. Plus, she arranges to have all physical evidence of Kamala’s death in Amazing Spider-Man #26 destroyed. And I get it: Kamala’s got an upcoming four-issue miniseries and if she had to come out to her family as alive, an Inhuman, and a mutant all at the same time, there would barely be any more room for a story in there.

But Marvel also published a whole “Funeral for a Friend” tribute issue about her death! The beautiful service was held in her Jersey City’s mosque. I’ve got plotline whiplash.

Many good things are in The Peacemaker Struggles Hard, but chief among them is the way writer Kyle Starks and artist Steve Pugh have reintroduced the Red Bee, a DC superhero so old he’s technically in the public domain. The Red Bee of their comic is an incredibly caring and compassionate supervillain who wants nothing more than to get his charges back on track. He’s also a guy who fights crime in a very loud outfit with his trained bee, Michael.

That’s right, that is exactly what you just read. The One-Day Event bee. Michael. Michael.

Starks & Pugh really are chowing down on Red Bee and it is paying off. This is what I’m referring to: we see a great flashback in which the bee performs tiny weight training.

Writer Ryan North and artist Leandro Fernandez’s Fantastic Four #10 is a great sci-fi throwback, a one-and-done alien ghost story where the Four are — you know what, I don’t want to spoil it. It’s got big Twilight ZoneEC Comics has a lot of energy.
