Bullet Review:
Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel is a much needed hero in the world of comics. Superheroes tend to be far too white, far too male, far too perfect for their own good. It's nice to have a girl's/Muslim's/Pakastani's version of Peter Parker.
It was hugely insightful into the life of a Pakastani Muslim girl - how different AND similar it was to my own childhood. I do wonder if perhaps Muslim and/or Pakastani women may find it very different from their own lives - but hey, what with all the Islamaphobia these days, Kamala is desperately needed to knock into people's heads that, dur, "not all Muslims" are violent.
Storywise, it's your typical "origins story", which is why I knocked off a star. I'm sure once things get situated, the story will really take off. At the very least, this is a comic I can heartily recommend to teenaged girls and one I will continue to follow.

I don't care for comic books despite the fact that I love superheroes, but Kamala is totally kick ass. Fingers crossed the local library keeps buying these bind ups of the Ms. Marvel comics!

Ms. Marvel is a great story of diversity and coming of age. I love the fact that they made our main character a Pakistani teenage GIRL. The only thing that I didn’t like about the story was the beginning, it started a little strange. The whole beginning with the random fog and then how she got her powers, yeah I thought it was just weird but the story began to pick up quickly after that. I recommend this story to anyone, especially adolescents since they can relate to our main character on a personal level.
