crying. screaming. throwing up.
kamala literally died, what, a bit over a month ago? her funeral was 2 days ago. and they're already announcing a new series.
where, yes, she is now a mutant because they want to match the mcu.
the comic is being written by sabir pirzada, a writer on the ms marvel show, and iman vellani, who plays kamala.
i really don't have high hopes for this new page for kamala. I hate that they're doing this to her, I hate that the mcu continues to affect the comics like this. if there's any sliver of hope I have, it's because of iman vellani's passion and dedication to the character.
here's the EW article. scream abt it with me.

Okay fine I will ask
People who are watching Xmen97, is the OG series required to watch before the new one?
Cause I could never get into it when I was a kid since Nightcrawler was only in like two episodes, but I know he is in the new one and I want to watch it for him.... but I have no idea any context of what they are building off of to start the new show.
So what is the consensus here? What's the recommendation?

Little thing I wrote a while back with Laura and Ororo discussing Akihiro. Not super confident on Ororo here but well you know.
“How can you bear to call him brother?” Storm asks. “He goes against every value the X-Men hold– every value you claim to hold– he hurts people, he kills people, he has killed children and says he may do so again. He manipulates people, puppets them to further his own ends, denies them even their own feelings. I ask again how can you stand him?”
“He is my brother,” Laura says simply. “If I cannot condone his actions, and make no mistake– I cannot– then neither can I bring myself to condemn him.” We are not all of us goddesses and queens, she thinks but does not say.
“And if your innaction allows him to kill again?” Storm asks. “What then, Laura? That blood will be on your hands.”
“My hands are already red,” Laura reminds her, and Storm recoils as though struck. How quickly she has forgotten. Little Laura Kinney may have been a child made to kill for her keep, Talon of X-Force, but in between Talon and X-23 of the Facility she had been one of thousands of lost little nameless things on the streets of New York, a lost little nameless thing that in her scant few months and years on the streets killed dozens on her own prerogative. Deaths that she even now does not entirely regret.
Later, on X-Force– oh, Logan might have been furious, saying she didn’t understand the choice she was making, didn’t know about choice at all, and maybe he’d been right, but Summers hadn’t ordered her onto X-Force. He’d asked her a question.
The people that attacked the Institute, he’d said. How would you like to help take them down? She’d said yes, of course.
The circumstances… Laura is older and wiser now, and wishes there had been another way. But if there had been another way, X-Force would not have existed, and she would do the same again if given the chance. The deaths of Purifiers, too, are deaths she does not regret.
Storm presses her lips together, a narrow judgemental line, and Laura can see her walking the precipice: does she escalate, fight one of her dead lover’s children over her loyalty to and love of another? Or does she retreat, soothe ruffled feathers, no, of course, you are correct, family must come first, always.
Storm, predictably, does neither. “So long as you can live with your choices,” she says stiffly, a warped echo of something Remy had told Laura once, so long ago. “But do not ask us to die for them. And Wolverine, know this–” her eyes briefly burn bright with lightning “–if I see Akihiro harm another living soul, affection for you will not spare him from me.”
Laura inclines her head fractionally. “We would have it no other way,” she murmurs.
No other way at all.
