All right, this is finally revealed. I am so happy and proud to be part of the same launch as this book, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly writes comics!.

The beautiful thing here is that every book has its own feel and flavor. Do NOT sleep on this one, it’s funny and smart and great!

Great bartender. Better friend. Kinda going through his Llewelyn Davis period. That smile on the cover doesn’t last for long.

Anole’s also key to NYX as our lens on the lives of non-passing mutants in Krakoan diaspora - a big focus of issue #3, especially.

Full identity assumption - like Mystique - feels out of Kamala’s character, esp considering her origin moment.

But she has my favorite power set ever so we’re having fun discovering how far it can be pushed.

Thanks Streez - and absolutely yes to both of your questions.

Academy X, New X-Men, Ms. Marvel and especially The New Mutant are foundational texts for what we’re doing.

Kamala’s family - particularly Aamir - plays a big role in her arc in NYX. Bruno, you’ll learn more in issue #1.

That said, by and large, our focus will be on Kamala’s life on NYC.

This isn't a 'set roster' kind of book. These are our point of view characters for each of the first five issues - but we'll be expanding both cast and perspective as the story builds beyond.

Thank you, Gary. FWIW: the lineup is only for our core five. This book has a much larger cast than the cover can hold - we're not a team book, we're an exploration of community.

So your faves may yet appear.

That's Prodigy and Sophie.

Love Synch though. His name's been on our lips a *lot* while developing NYX. So we'll see.

Age is a tricky thing on the Marvel sliding timescale, but all the main characters of NYX - except Kamala - are in their early 20s.

And hey, you know who lives down in Lower Manhattan ever since Sentinel of Liberty... 🤣

Thank you! We're PSYCHED.

And I love what Iman and Sabir have done with the character as she investigates her intersectionality - her return to the classic look is meant to continue that conversation.

So would I! We're determined to stand in our own light for the first arc, but Zig's a great writer and Miles is never far from our thoughts.
