MS. MARVEL: BEYOND THE LIMIT
Marvel Comics has announced a Sept. 15 launch for Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit, a five-issue mini-series by writer Samira Ahmed, artist Andres Genolet and cover artist Mashal Ahmed.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"After an explosion of interdimensional proportions at her cousin's lab in Chicago, Kamala Khan's world is turned upside down...and into a Bollywood set?! Ms. Marvel's powers are on the fritz and time is running out to figure out what exactly is going on."
"For kids of color, Muslim kids, there was literally zero representation when I was growing up," said Ahmed, best known for work in young adult fiction. "So when Sana and Willow announced Ms. Marvel, I was just so stunned. My heart soars for all the kids who will have Ms. Marvel comics as part of their childhood.
"I always tell people that in all my fiction there's this through-line of the 'revolutionary girl.' What girl is more revolutionary than Kamala Khan?
"Fans that have been there from day one will love to see how we're playing around with her powers, exploring them, and maybe pushing them. "I don't want to give any spoilers, but there are gonna be some questions that arise about the source of her powers and what that means.
"We're definitely going to have some food in there, we're definitely gonna have some pretty striking South Asian cultural elements that people are gonna see right off the bat in the series. There are gonna be some familiar faces and fan favorites, but also some new faces. . . Willow and then Saladin have created such an incredible world. I'm just excited to explore it and even push it out a little further."

AMC has revealed four images and a synopsis for Season 11 of The Walking Dead, which premieres on Sunday, August 22 at 9 p.m.
Here's how the network describes the season:
"Previously on The Walking Dead, our survivors confronted past demons and combated new threats, with friendships and relationships suffering from the mounting collateral damage that is the apocalypse. Alexandria is severely compromised, left a former shell of the home it once was from the carnage and devastation left behind by the Whisperers.
"Now all who live in Alexandria struggle to refortify it and feed its increasing number of residents, which include the survivors from the fall of the Kingdom and the burning of Hilltop; along with Maggie and her new group, the Wardens. Alexandria has more people than it can manage to feed and protect. Their situation is dire as tensions heat up over past events and self-preservation rises to the surface within the ravaged walls.
"They must secure more food while they attempt to restore Alexandria before it collapses like countless other communities they have come across throughout the years. But where and how? More haggard and hungrier than ever before, they must dig deeper to find the effort and strength to safeguard the lives of their children, even if it means losing their own.
"Meanwhile, unbeknownst to those at Alexandria, Eugene, Ezekiel, Yumiko, and Princess are still being held captive by mysterious soldiers who are members of a larger and unforthcoming group."
