Possibly my favorite of these yet, because it actually packed in a substantial amount of stuff-happening.

Currently sick with COVID but I am so happy to have books to read and to get back into Ms Marvel. Even though the show has premiered I love knowing who and what is going on in the series.

You can't choose to be a hero! You can only choose to do what a hero would do!

Okay, this is more like it. This volume brought back a lot of the affection I felt with the first volume. Not that there's not a lot of issues here.

First of all, we ended the last one expecting a big kerplooey of end of world events. Is this one of those situations where the big events took place in another super person's comic? Because I hate that shit. And it means there's a giant gaping hole in between volume 4 and 5.

Aside from that, though, we do get more of a Day in the Life of a Super Teen with this comic. Kamala is trying to balance life as a student, a family member, and an Avenger, and she's failing. A lot. She mostly just wants to be a super person.

On top of that, Bruno, her Platonic Friend*, has found a girlfriend. A rather awesome, vintagely fashioned girlfriend named Mike. Whom Kamala fat shames.

I am not okay with that. She acknowledges the wrongness when called on it, and the two of them are okay by the end of the book, but still. Unnecessary. Highly unnecessary.

So, yes, we're getting back some of the love, but I'm not ready to start throwing 5 stars around again.


* See Chris Rock's explanation of what a capital lettered Platonic Friend really means.
