Next month sees Marvel’s heroes and creators pay proper respect to the tragic passing of Ms. Marvel with Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel #1.
Amazing Spider-Man #26 really packed an emotional punch with that tragic ending where Ms. Marvel made the hero’s sacrifice in a bid to save her friends and the universe, putting her squarely in the same league as Captain America, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, and countless others. The painful twist and its fallout continues in the special one-shot.
In honor of the trailblazing heroine, Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel #1 will employ the character’s co-creator, G. Willow Wilson; the writer of her last stand-alone series: Saladin Ahmed; and the man who made her an Avenger and a star in The Champions: Mark Waid. In their capable hands is the inspirational legacy of Kamala Khan as well as how her death will forever mark the Marvel universe going forward.
It’s not all sad news though, since Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel #1 will feature four beautiful covers for fans to choose from (or collect!). There’s the somber main cover care of Kaare Andrews, a tribute cover that harkens back to Captain Marvel’s death by Carmen Carnero (also available as a virgin cover), a more lighthearted retrospective that focuses on Ms. Marvel’s devoted fanbase who loved her fiercely from day one, thanks to Pablo Villalobos, and finally a touching portrait of the fallen hero from one of her co-creators: Adrian Alphona.
