In All New X-Men #40, coming out this Wednesday, we learn that Iceman is gay!

See here

If you don't read the comic, the original X-Men travel back from time to the 21st century. Some of them are alive to see their future selves. Bobby/Iceman has met his future self, but had no idea this was coming... or did he?

The New Ms. Marvel is Muslim and from Jersey


New Stuff, comic fans!

The new Ms. Marvel is Kamala Khan, 16, Muslim and from Jersey City. Kamala take on the name of Ms. Marvel once she discovers her shape-shifting powers.

NYT has more on the new character:

No exploding planet, death of a relative or irradiated spider led to Kamala’s creation. Her genesis began more mundanely, in a conversation between Sana Amanat and Steve Wacker, two editors at Marvel. “I was telling him some crazy anecdote about my childhood, growing up as a Muslim-American,” Ms. Amanat said. “He found it hilarious.” Ms. Amanat and Mr. Wacker noted the dearth of female superhero series and, even more so, of comics with cultural specificity.

When they told G. Willow Wilson, an author, comic book writer and convert to Islam, about their idea, she was eager to come on board as the series’ writer. “Any time you do something like this, it is a bit of a risk,” Ms. Wilson said. “You’re trying to bring the audience on board and they are used to seeing something else in the pages of a comic book.”

Kamala, whose family is from Pakistan, has devotedly followed the career of the blond, blue-eyed Carol Danvers, who now goes by Captain Marvel, a name she inherited from a male hero. When Kamala discovers her powers, including the ability to change shape, she takes on the code name Ms. Marvel — what Carol called herself when she began her superhero career.
This is cool
