He’s back! Recently resurrected in ‘The Last of the Marvels,’ the latest story arc in Kelly Thompson’s hit run on CAPTAIN MARVEL, Genis-Vell will go on to star in an all-new limited series this June written by the creator who helped define him, the legendary Peter David! Announced earlier today at ComicsPRO, GENIS-VELL: CAPTAIN MARVEL will be a five-issue epic featuring artwork by electrifying artist Juanan Ramírez (DARKHAWK). The series will see the fan favorite Captain Marvel reunite with his former partner, Rick Jones, for the first time in decades for an adventure that spans the Marvel cosmos and a mystery involving Death itself.
Both now back in the land of the living, Genis-Vell and Rick Jones are about to come crashing back into each other! Can Rick Jones save Genis — and himself — before they both fade out of existence? Is Rick’s ex-wife, Marlo, the key? Find out in this surprising saga that will chart a new course through the Marvel Universe for Genis, Rick, and more!
“I never thought I'd have the opportunity to return to Genis, what with him being dead and all. But apparently death never lasts...which is actually one of the themes of the limited series I came up with,” David said. “It's great to be back with Genis, Rick, Marlo and the whole Genis-Vell gang.”
Witness Peter David take Genis-Vell to all-new heights this June!

I've missed Genis. Hope we get an updated figure of this costume, and his sister. Maybe when "The Marvels" comes out?

For sure, I still display that figure to this day. This announcement makes me want to revisit that old comic series.
Genis looks but but was a bit of a jerk from what I remember and a codename stealer.
Yeah this version is awesome. Great mix of classic and modern. Never followed the series but like @Atlantissaid, he was drawn incredibly well in Avengers Forever. So sad there hasnt been an epic story like that with the exception the nearly 2 year opus that was World War Kang.
I too would like a Legends revisit. The ToyBiz version was one of their best, would love to see Hasbro improve it

Looking forward to this. Really liked the original series, and Ive enjoyed PD revisiting earlier series with new X-Factor, Spidey, and Maestro stories.
