I was disappointed by this. The main plot was basically half Minority Report, half the Peter/Tony storyline from the first Civil War, only with Kamala and Carol. It was all very...eh.

But even "eh" Ms. Marvel is still better than the majority of superhero comics. I just wish there could have been more Kamala and Miles science fair shenanigans, and less of Kamala insulting another girl by calling her Basic. You're better than that, Kamala.

"you can count on me... But part of me is wondering... If I can still count on you."

Kamala's break from Carol and following her legacy is such a huge part of her character growth and her development into her own superhero, and to ignore that is to reduce who Kamala is.

Carol aside... Miles made his first appearance, Bruno is outta the picture, and Kareem's saga is starting. This is definitely my favorite volume.

We start with Spiderman and end in Pakistan. In the middle, we get a major emotional gut punch and lose a little faith in our super heroes.

I've missed Kamala.

Who knew a comic book arc connected to a company-wide event would be THIS GREAT! Hits all the emotional and storytelling points. Amazing!

I love the inclusion of Pakistan into the story.

This first Civil War story line was bad. It was so bad that, despite loving Kamala more than is probably healthy, I was tempted to skip this trade volume. Kamala won out in the end, because she's Kamala.

I have no idea how the larger Civil War II story line works out, but this book, even with its obvious story line of what happens when you blindly trust an authority figure, is good. And it's important. It's especially important now, just after the second travel ban was put into place. Because if we ever need to be reminded that blindly trusting authority is dangerous, that criminalizing people before any crime has been committed is immoral, that thinking for ourselves is paramount, it's now.

There may have been tears at the end. Shut up.
