This was my first time reading Ms. Marvel. It was definitely interesting, but I think it made me realize once again that I'm just not that into superhero stuff.

I found most of the characters pretty annoying, especially Ms. Marvel. Her story arc here feels similar to a young Peter Parker, trying to figure out how to navigate superhero responsibilities among going to school and being there for your family.

There were some more interesting parts and fascinating ethical dilemmas raised, like trying to convict people of crimes they haven't committed yet through "predictive justice." It was also cool to see different folks from the MCU pop up, like Loki and Iron Man. Iron Man was one of the most likeable characters in here, which is a red flag to me since I normally can't stand Iron Man haha. Bruno's girlfriend Mike was cool too.

All in all, great for Marvel fans, loved Kamala's journey to learning more about her own identity, just not a huge hit for me.

A solid Ms. Marvel outing. This follows the Secret Wars event and deals with some interesting stuff. This also includes the Civil War 2 tie -in stuff which I think was done well. Having Kamala have to look at her priorities and whether or not her idol, Captian Marvel, is in the wrong was good character development for her.

My rating system
1 - Did not enjoy
2 - Not irredeemable but has too many flaws to say I enjoyed
3 - Enjoyed it
4 - Great book but didn't love it
5 - Amazing book
