Marvel Comics has revealed Genis-Vell is not only returning, but he’s also getting his own series. The character actually returned back in the fall, but now it’s time to focus directly on the character. Written by Peter David and drawn by Juanan Ramirez, the five-issue series will launch this June.
“I never thought I’d have the opportunity to return to Genis, what with him being dead and all. But apparently, death never lasts…which is actually one of the themes of the limited series I came up with,” David said. “It’s great to be back with Genis, Rick, Marlo, and the whole Genis-Vell gang.”
So what’s Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel about?
Both now back in the land of the living, Genis-Vell and Rick Jones are about to come crashing back into each other! Can Rick Jones save Genis — and himself — before they both fade out of existence? Is Rick’s ex-wife, Marlo, the key? Find out in this surprising saga that will chart a new course through the Marvel Universe for Genis, Rick, and more!
Fans who want to catch up on the character can pick up Genis-Vell: Marvel Tales #1 which dropped into comic shops back in November.
