Summary on
Goodreads:
She's your new favorite. She's everyone's new favorite. And
now she's joining the big leagues. Look out world, Kamala Khan is officially an
Avenger! But will being one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes be everything she
imagined? Or is life as a celebrity harder than she thought? But while saving
the world is important, Jersey City still needs its protector too. A
development company that co-opted Ms. Marvel's face for its project might well
have more in mind for gentrification than just real estate. Can Kamala take
down the evil suits destroying her home without ruining her personal life?
Speaking of which, who exactly is that with Bruno? Get back on board and cling
on, Kamala Korps, the ride is about to get wilder than ever!
Review:
These graphic novels are so good. If you have not read any
of Ms. Marvel yet, what are you waiting for? They are all about Kamala Khan, a
teen, Muslim girl trying to balance out, family, faith, school, friends, and
saving the world. I love getting the whole newbie superhero experience from
Kamala’s point of view. Her point
of view is fresh, funny, sarcastic, and so very YA.
I particularly loved that this installment was about Kamala’s
balancing act. She felt like she had to do everything. And when her solution to
trying to do everything fails, she’s calls in the big guns: the Avengers and
Captain Marvel. And I love that Iron Man pretty much tells her that going to
school is important. That being with family is important. And sometimes you
just have to do what you know you’ll regret missing a few years down the line.
I love that Kamala knows what is most important in the end.
I also love the new Mike character! I think it’s great the
Bruno isn’t just sitting around, pining any more. Good for him. I also love the
storyline with Kamala’s brother getting engaged. It’s nice seeing a super hero
have real life problems, on top of all the not so typical super hero problems.
I love all the Avenger cameos. Loki makes a brief appearance
too. And it’s beyond cool to see Iron Man play the mentor character, and not
mess it up. The artwork, as always, is top notch. The overarching plot lines
are fun to return to. The new bad guys weren’t quite as intense as older bad
guys, but still rather entertaining.
I give this one a 9/10. I highly recommend these comics to anyone and
everyone in need of a good girl hero.
