The prequel shorts we’ve had so far for Marvel’s latest animated initiative, Marvel Rising, have yet to actually bring our heroes together—beyond the delightful pairing of Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl—into a cohesive team. Now, our first look at the animated film gives us just that, and a reason for the team to unite.

Marvel’s upcoming animated series Marvel Rising will follow as a group of young superheroes including Ms Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Spider-Gwen (AKA Ghost Spider) come together to form a next generation team.

Ahead of San Diego Comic-Con this week, the first trailer for complimentary series of web shorts Marvel Rising: Initiation has dropped, and it has a few clues about what to expect from the show.

Another Marvel writer is teaming up with DC Comics to write one of their biggest heroes: G. Willow Wilson, who has spent the last few years shepherding the adventures of Kamala Khan for Marvel, has just been announced as the new writer of DC’s ongoing Wonder Woman series.

Looks like someone isn't getting any Gysahl Greens.

Captain Marvel is an amazing character, but her best legacy in the comics might be in the other hero inspired by her: Ms. Marvel, a role filled in the past few years by the amazing Kamala Khan.

Hail to the chief.

The Exiles were Marvel's premier dimension-hopping band of merry, reality-twisting heroes. Although they were originally primarily a mutant team, eventually they became host to all sorts of weird and wonderful alt-takes on Marvel's finest heroes. Now the team is making a grand return, and bringing some fresh takes on familiar faces.

Comic books can seem intimidating. If you go into a comic book store, you’re confronted with walls and walls of paper and no road map that tells you where to start. If you’ve never read a comic before and want to dip your toe in the ink-filled waters, here’s a few recommendations that blend excellent storytelling and incredible illustration.

When they're not tying into the movies, LEGO's line of Marvel superhero sets has already given us minifigure versions of a whole host of weird and wonderful Marvel heroes over the years. But next year, they're finally giving us one of the company's most beloved characters in recent comics history: Ms Marvel herself, Kamala Khan.

It's just a fact that not all comics should be movies -- sometimes only TV can properly capture the scope of these stories. (I mean, you're not going to get all 75 issues of Neil Gaiman's Sandman in a movie, or even three.) At the same time, only a few comics could be adapted to television in a way that wouldn't suck, let alone be popular with the mass audience that would make such a show feasible. So with all that in mind, here are 10 comic books that would only work on television -- and have a damn good chance of being actual hits.

Video: We've known that Ms Marvel was coming to the Avengers cartoon at some point, but now we actually know when: Really soon! A new clip from the next episode of Avengers: Ultron Revolution (née Assemble) to air in the US has been released online, and it shows Kamala joining the fight alongside Captain American and Iron Man.

Pretty much since she was first introduced, we've wanted an action figure of Kamala Khan. And now, nearly three years to the month of her debut in the pages of Captain Marvel, we finally have one -- and it's pretty damn awesome.

Marvel's resurgent group of teenage crimefighters -- whether that's the time-lost young X-Men or the youngest All-New, All-Different Avengers -- are doing something that's very teen. They're defying their older colleagues to go it alone, fighting crime and generally being all hopeful and grassroots-y while doing so.
