Summary from Goodreads:
An enemy from Ms. Marvel's past resurfaces and begins
targeting those closest to Kamala. As the world around her is spinning out of
control, it becomes clear that this time there's something more sinister at
work...Kamala's no stranger to fighting for what's right, but in facing down
this challenge, everything she is will be called into question. Not just as a
super hero, but as a human being.
Review:
I am a big Ms. Marvel fan. Ms. Marvel has restored my love
of comic books. I love the mixture of classic super hero story with YA coming
of age drama. And this installment has plenty of this mixture, with the added
bonus of present day politics.
There’s a definite an X-Men vibe here with a government group
rounding up people with abilities and people who are different. But, there’s
also serious current day political events being mirrored –with racism, laws
against immigrants, and the theft of human rights. I love how the writers were
able to translate this all into comic book form.
And I love Kamala even more for standing up against such
hatred. She fights for what’s right, even when it seems as though the whole
world is against her. I think she learns a lot about people and herself in this
installment. And I’m really hoping this storyline will result in her mending
her friendship with Bruno.
I also love the role family plays in Kamala’s story. At
first, I felt like they were a plot device used to hold her back, but now, they
are the spark that keeps her fiercer. I love their support of her. And I love
her relationship with her brother. It’s both sweet and believable with their
bickering.
All in all I give this installment an 8/10. It would be
higher, but I felt like that one part with the train just took way too long. I
love these comics though and I can’t see where the brave writers take things
next.
