Following in the footsteps of Harley Quinn, Firestar, Morph and many others who first debuted on TV, Marvel has announced that Kahhori from the second season of the Disney+ animated series What If …? will make her comic book debut in Kahhori: Reshaper Of Worlds #1.

The one-shot will carry the Marvel’s Voices logo and arrive during Native American Heritage Month.
