An all-new series of (Magnificent) Ms. Marvel is off to a very strong start! To be honest, I was a bit wary of Ahmed taking over – G. Willow Wilson handed over the reigns at the top of her game, and I wasn’t a fan of Black Bolt – but from the opening pages to the closing Zelda reference at the end, I’m all in for Kamala’s new adventures.Ahmed, penciller Mikyu Jung and inker Juan Vlasco, as well as longtime Ms Marvel colorist Ian Herring, retain all the essential parts of Kamala – she’s just as h...
Wow! I was worried that Ms. Marvel would suffer from changing writers, but I feel more intrigued in the title now than I have for a while. This story was totally different from anything we’ve seen in the title before, and it just felt fresh. It’s a perfect mixture of action and emotion, personal and hero stakes. 5/5 stars and I can’t wait to see what stories are in store next!
I know this is only the first volume, but I definitely prefer the original Ms. Marvel series. The art was better in this one, but Kamala seemed so out of character and the whole space aliens/destined one was super weird. I loved the part where her father found out and his characterization was spot on! But for her parents to lose their memory just seemed like a cheap way of getting out of having to balance that part of the story in the next issues. I loved the little scene between Kamala and Iron...
okay this was so cute i absolutely loved it. mr marvel is such a badass. overall an amazing comic
I'm convinced Ahmed should helm all the teen heroes because he does such a good job. With Ms. Marvel trying to live her life as a superhero and a normal teen, she hits a crossroads. Her father finds out she's a superhero and as expected it doesn't go well. On top of that she's dealing with such bent up frustration in her love life. But now she's transported to a new world because she might be the only hope they have to survive. What will she choose? This volume's main plot is the least interesti...
On paper it was a tough call taking over from Wilson and co. but in reality Wilson and co. had lost their magic on this book and it was time for a change.Ahmed does a good job kicking off his run, by starting Kamala's next steps in New Jersey facing Deathbringer. The book goes on to, with some nice humorous touches as well as angst, see an Ex-Avenger, ex-Champion, go on a mission with somer very unlikely travel companions! Definitely captures the sense and feel of the first few volumes... the fu...
I love Kamala. She’s one of my favorite Marvel superheroes, and I’m always interested in her story. I found this first issue of a new run really entertaining. I love the style and the story. Great characters, plot, and concept. The ending is a huge cliffhanger. Kamala is a believable teenager and has great superhero characteristics. I’m going to enjoy this series! Definitely recommended.
"I've learned that sometimes, in the face of change, you just have to . . . ADAPT." -- Kamala 'Ms. Marvel' KhanThe above quote demonstrates a suggestion that I'm having a difficult time following -- i.e., I miss having writer G. Willow Wilson at the helm of this series. While I readily agree with the rear cover's promotional line that "Ms. Marvel is back - and she's magnificent!" - because Khan happens to be my favorite of the newer characters in the Marvel Comics line-up (and Minkyu Jung is no
So I have zero interest in the Marvel universe (seriously, respect to people who can keep track of it!) but I'm 100% here for Ammi refusing to let some strange boy touch Kamala's arm, and Abu calling said boy - who's also a hero on his planet - a beimann ladka. My family is Hindi, not Urdu, speaking but this is all very, very relatable stuff.I do wish they hadn't gone with that direction at the end of the main arc - I totally understand why, in that it would basically have created like 40 books
Saladin Ahmed and Minkyu Jung take over as the new creative team on Ms. Marvel and quickly show they have the chops to replace G. Willow Wilson. Kamala heads to space with her parents in an all too predictable story. The dialogue is fresh though and the narration heartwarming to keep the story from being a bore. I'm not a fan of the new costume. Hopefully, it will continue to follow Spider-Man's black suit origins and slink off her one night. Minkyu Jung makes the book's art sing.
More goodness by Saladin Ahmed, I'm a sucker for space adventures and this was a pretty nice arc for Ms. Marvel. I hated the way Marvel forced this new wave of all-new all-different superheroes into the Avengers without them ever breaking a sweat, hell, Spider-Man only made it into the team in the 90s, felt cheap and forced as hell and I couldn't care less about them back then. I think its on their own solo books that they can shine and earn their place in the MU, stories like these is what make...
Love love LOVED this Ms. Marvel story!!! Makes me so pumped for the show and I learned a lot of the info needed to understand it :))
Saladin Ahmed is one of the few authors who made the switch from novel prose to comic script writing really, really well. The others I've read have been... let's say, verbose. (The other was Seanan McGuire.) This was so good. Even though I'm iffy on the new costume so far. The lightning bolt is so bulky, you guys, it's really distracting from everything else I love about the new look. The art is very pretty, otherwise, though.
Kamala Khan's parents insisting on going along with her to save a planet is the most desi thing ever tbh.
An almost okay volume that doesn't quite justify the continuation of the series. A lot of this seems like a rehashed Spider-Man plotline (view spoiler)[ as an alien battleworld yields a new costume with ominous possibilities (hide spoiler)]. I liked Kamala's parents acting as chaperones for the adventure, and the added humor and drama of their presence started to pull me into the book, but they are frequently sidelined and then a stupid twist ending undercuts their participation entirely.I'm not...
3.5 stars
That was surprisingly awesome!The previous run was one of my favorites Marvel reads the second half of this decade and I was worried when I learnt about the new writer.Saladin Ahmed, you do awesome job. Keep 'em coming!!! :)
(view spoiler)[Our hero goes to fight a war on an alien planet and they're there they gain a fantastic alien costume that responds to their thoughts and gives them new abilities! Sound familiar? Well, no I'm not talking about Spider-Man in the first Secret Wars, I'm talking about what happens to Ms. Marvel in this book. A wee bit derivative there, Mr. Ahmed. (hide spoiler)]Despite this rather blatant... let's be generous and call it a homage... I really enjoyed this first volume in the new reboo...
The whole planet Saffa story felt beyond generic, and had white saviour undertones except with Kamala.What I've always liked about Ms Marvel, is that her stories were smaller, more based locally in New Jersey. She instantly loses that charm when she suddenly becomes The One on a different planet.Ms Marvel is very quick to accept this quest from aliens she basically just met. Why do the beasts look like giants with Earth animal heads? Why is everything slathered in overexplaining narration?I don'...
This volume had some heavy content. Ahmed did a really good job of picking up where Wilson left off in terms of style and character arcs, in my opinion, but one thing I did miss was the crew of friends which Kamala had accumulated by the end of the tenth volume. There was a very heavy emphasis on family in this one, which I appreciated a lot and somewhat made up for the lack of her friend group.Kamala's witty remarks in battle remind me so much of Buffy, and I love it:) Kamala is such a great ch...
