Due to a leak, Marvel Comics has gotten ahead of online discussion and revealed Ms. Marvel will die in Amazing Spider-Man #26. The teased “Fallen Friend” one-shot is also confirmed to be about Ms. Marvel with the title Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel. Fans can purchase the special one-shot on July 12th.
Ms. Marvel has been an Oscorp intern in Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.’s run of Amazing Spider-Man, and as Marvel puts it, “it’s all been leading to this monumental moment for Kamala to save the entire Marvel Universe!” The one-shot will include the return of the character’s co-creator, G. Willow Wilson; the writer of Ms. Marvel’s last solo series, Saladin Ahmed; and Mark Waid, who not only brought Ms. Marvel onto the Avengers, but also wrote her central role in the teen team book The Champions.

In the grand comics condition of other notable character deaths such as Captain America, Doctor Strange, and the original Captain Marvel, FALLEN FRIEND: THE DEATH OF MS. MARVEL will be a crucial chapter in the Marvel mythos and serve as both a farewell for Ms. Marvel and a glimpse of her death’s impact on all of Marvel’s heroes.
