Ms Marvel Volume 1 No Normal G Willow Wilson Adrian Alphona Books

This was a pleasant, though quick and kind of shallow read to me. I have to admit: I probably am not the target audience for this comic (as a thirty-something). I think that influenced my enjoyment of the story: I liked it, but wasn’t blown away. The simplicity of the storyline, with quite some (in my eyes) stereotypical characters and not too subtle ways to get points across (such as being happy with who you are), left me wanting a little more depth. I do feel however that it was really refreshing to read a comic with a young, female, not-white protagonist (yes, white male dominated superhero world, I am looking at you!). Kamala felt like a relatable character, with humour, doubt and just enough weird to make her interesting. That alone makes this worth reading and recommending to teens everywhere!

Ms Marvel Volume 1 No Normal G Willow Wilson Adrian Alphona Books Reviews

Being myself a Pakistani Muslim from Jersey City, I can't articulate how great this comic makes me feel. The positivity, energy, accuracy, and story really makes me proud and hopeful for the next generation of my ilk. This is the narrative we badly needed to humanize us and enlighten those that seem to not be able to get pass our otherness. My daughter will grow up reading kamala khan, and I'm loving that!
Others have said it first and I agree with them - reading Ms Marvel (2015) is emotionally like reading very beginning issues of Spider-Man by Lee and Ditko. The main character, Kamala Khan, is a fangirl - of Carol Danvers' Ms. Marvel among many others. Once she gets her powers (no spoilers) she behaves like any real-world or realistic girl would do - trying her best to instantly master her powers and finding out quickly that it's not that easy.
I'd heard good things about Ms Marvel but had kind of drifted away from modern comics books a little. This, however, has hooked me right back in. Along with Hawkeye, these are two of the freshest pieces of storytelling in comics in years. The writer has created a hero who is down to earth and who feels utterly realistic, juggling family problems, faith issues and her newfound powers with equal difficulty. The villainous hurdles she has to clear so far aren't high... but you can't help but think that there's more trouble ahead.
I really liked the story and art, this is a well-written and positive story about a realistic teenage girl who wants to help people. None of the teenage girls are drawn in those ridiculous anatomically impossible "sexy" poses, which is refreshing (and I didn't even notice).

That being said, the book is not sturdy. The covers and paper are very thin. The printing is good and the colors nice, but I am intimidated to hold it in my hands while reading. Also, both the front and back covers have curled about 40 degrees since it got warm out and we opened the windows in our house - the book doesn't lie flat when closed. For the price, and with the small number of issues it collects, it's not a very good value.
From the story to the art this is a great book. Love the new hero, love the fact that Marvel took the chance and went with a Muslim heroine. Never thought they would put a female Muslim in the lead role of her own book. Anyway the story is origin so it's a little slow but still captivating. The art is great with a cartoon look to it but a little refined to make it fit in a comic book. And the fact that Kamala has a hodge podge of a costume at the end just cracks me up, especially with all the slick heroes she looks up to. A new hero for the time and Marvel has faith that just makes you feel good to be a Marvel and a comic book fan.
A word of warning yes, it is a "teen" story. But to be honest, "main stream" comics which feature teens in Marvel publications are not that numerous anymore. Spiderman is an adult (not in the Ultimate universe, I know; still), even though there's always some X-Man/X-Woman who's a teenager or used to be, most are adults; the Avengers? Heh.

Bottom line there are few main stream super-hero comics left which deal with teenagers. And Ms Marvel adds to that the fact that she lives in a Muslim family, with traditions that are at odds with many more "Christian Western" modern ones. This makes it a very compelling read, especially since the characters are not "dumbed down" to teenage stereotypes (granted, some are a bit exaggerated, but overall, they are very much tolerable). I like that with this story, we go back to characters who happen to have powers, rather than super-heroes who happen to have a private life.
I was hoping this is something to do with Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel. But it's about a teenager who more a less channels a super hero. And she goes about exploring her powers which I don't know what exactly they are. I guess the comic is special because the character is Muslim, or Hindu, or something like that? Why should it matter? Why do we need to make comics more diverse? I guess to accommodate a broader spectrum of readers. I prefer my comics just about beating up super villains.
