For the first time ever, Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, America, Inferno and Patriot are teaming up for a brand-new epic tale featuring the next generation of Marvel super heroes as the publisher launching its new multi-platform franchise Marvel Rising with a special mini event beginning in the free Marvel Rising #0 issue.
“Marvel Rising is a celebration of the awesome breakout heroes of the Marvel Universe,” says Sana Amanat, VP of Content Development. “The animated stories build upon the great comic books these characters were born in, so we knew a Marvel Rising comic was the perfect place to tell a story fans have been waiting for! It’s about time Kamala and Doreen became super hero besties.”
Just what does it take to be a young super hero in the Marvel Universe? Join Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl, America, Inferno, and Patriot in this all-new story, featuring a generation of heroes who will rise together and change the world!
The all-new story begins when Doreen Green and Kamala Khan take on a Marvel Universe mission this April in MARVEL RISING #0, just ahead of Free Comic Book Day. The two heroes will meet for the first time in a twist of fate, discovering each other’s secret identities in a classic superhero first meeting story that follows Marvel’s long history of monumental team-ups! Featuring art by Marco Failla (Ms. Marvel), issue #0 will be written by Devin Grayson (Power Pack, Ghost Rider), who will be joined for future stories by Ms. Marvel writer G. Willow Wilson and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl writer Ryan North.
Retailers will receive FREE copies MARVEL RISING #0 in April. Then, in June, the story continues with an epic tale that launches with a special issue tied to a Father’s Day event in local comic shops.
