Original Captain Marvel's Son is Back and Getting His Own Comic Series
In a surprise announcement by Marvel Comics, the son of the original Captain Marvel will be getting a brand new series.

With his recent reemergence, there's never been a better time for Marvel to further explore Genis-Vell by giving him his own limited series.
