Marvel is prepping to relaunch their entire line (which we are taking a look at in critical detail) including the acclaimed Ms. Marvel series. Ms. Marvel was promoted to Captain Marvel in 2012 effectively leaving the Ms. Marvel moniker open. Kamala Khan swooped in two years later after the events of Infinity triggered a terrigen […]

If I was creating a new super-hero team, or relaunching an old super-hero comic book, the person I’d first think of to design/re-design my character’s costumes would be the great British artist Jamie McKelvie! He’s the one behind the excellent new costume designs of Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, and the wildly popular new version of Ms. Marvel, AKA Kamala Khan. You can see the design sheets posted above. McKelvie has been steadily producing some of the best conceived cover designs/art for many of Marvel Comics’ recent titles, including Ms. Marvel, Nightcrawler, and the recent(much too short-lived) Young Avengers re-launch.
Jamie McKelvie, and his frequent collaborator, Kieron Gillen, have recently launched a new, creator-owned series for Image Comics called The Wicked + The Devine. Their unique new-Mod take on super powered folks is a fresh addition to the usual, over-saturated fare.

Who would win, Spider-Man or Ms Marvel? We may find out when they meet for the first time in October’s AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #7. Will Spidey share tips on how to get home in time for dinner while saving the world? The meeting of Marvel’s seminal “hero with problem” and the modern day “superhero for the people” should be an interesting moment, as captured by Dan Slott, Christos Gage and Guiseppe Camuncoli. Although this is billed as a team-up, in comics tradition, maybe they will accidentally fight first. The issue also introduces Spider-UK, a mysterious character with unknown ties to the Spider-verse. We’d guess crumpets and cricket but that’s to be seen.
The issue includes variant covers by Javier Pulido, Gary Choo, and a Deadpool 75th variant by Michael Golden. There’s also a Hasbro variant which is…for bagged comics I guess?
Ms. Marvel can get all stretchy now? That’s… a new development.
You forgot a cover http://totallypopculture.com/amazing-spider-man-7-totally-pop-culture-exclusive-variant-cover-by-bill-sienkiewicz/
@Allen – This is the new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan. Carol Danvers has been Captain Marvel for quite a while now. Totally different power set (similar to Plastic Man actually) but still fierce and heroic and smart and completely deserving of the Ms. Marvel mantle.
It’s also a helluva fun read.
Wait. You’ve got Roma and Opal Luna Saturnyne, AND the Most Excellent Superhero of the British Empire Spider-Man, and they didn’t get Alan Davis to do a variant cover?!?
First Spider-Woman, now this… tch…
