By Mulder, 19 august 2024

Marvel Comics is set to elevate its annual celebration of Native American Heritage Month with the release of Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1, a special one-shot comic that will introduce Kahhori, the breakout character from Marvel Animation’s What If...? series on Disney+, to the expansive Marvel Comics universe.

Kahhori first captured the hearts of fans during her dramatic appearance in the second season of What If...?, where she emerged as a fierce Mohawk warrior defending her homeland from powerful invaders. Her story, which blended Indigenous culture with Marvel’s signature superhero elements, resonated with viewers and quickly established her as one of the most memorable characters from the series. With her strong moral compass and warrior spirit, Kahhori not only protected her world but also played a pivotal role in safeguarding all of reality from a dangerously twisted Doctor Strange. Now, Marvel Comics is ready to expand her journey even further, bringing her into the pages of the beloved Marvel Universe.

Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 will be a significant addition to the Marvel’s Voices line, a series dedicated to amplifying diverse voices and stories within the Marvel Universe. This particular issue will be a collaborative effort, showcasing an array of talented creators who bring their unique perspectives and storytelling abilities to the forefront. Among them is Ryan Little, the co-creator of Kahhori and a writer for What If...?, who will be instrumental in shaping her comic book narrative. He will be joined by Indigenous writers Arihhonni “Honni” David and Kelly Lynne D’Angelo, both making their Marvel Comics debuts. Their involvement marks an important step in ensuring that Kahhori’s story is told with authenticity and respect for the culture she represents.

The artwork for Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 will be brought to life by a team of acclaimed Marvel artists, including David Cutler and Jim Terry, whose dynamic and expressive styles will capture the essence of Kahhori’s character and the world she inhabits. The cover art, created by the talented Afua Richardson, promises to be a visual highlight, featuring Kahhori in a striking and powerful pose that encapsulates her warrior spirit.

In this new comic, readers will follow Kahhori as she embarks on a thrilling new adventure that takes her far beyond the boundaries of her world. After successfully defending Sky World, Kahhori finds herself chasing a mysterious and dangerous adversary into the heart of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. As she navigates this unfamiliar urban landscape, she’ll face not only the challenges of culture shock but also the destructive power of her strange foe, who threatens to bring chaos to the city. The story promises to be an action-packed and emotionally resonant journey, filled with surprising guest appearances from other Marvel characters and the introduction of new creators to the Marvel Comics universe.

Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 is poised to be more than just a comic; it’s a celebration of Indigenous heritage and storytelling within the Marvel Universe. By bringing Kahhori’s character to the forefront, Marvel continues its commitment to diverse representation and the inclusion of stories that reflect the rich tapestry of cultures that make up the world we live in.

Fans of Kahhori and Marvel Comics alike won’t want to miss this landmark issue. Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 will be available for preorder at local comic shops, with the official release set for November 6. This issue is expected to be a standout in Marvel’s Native American Heritage Month offerings, highlighting one of the most exciting new characters to emerge from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
