Ms. Marvel is both a breathe of fresh air and familiar in a good way. She jumps right off the page as a fun, relatable, and flawed character juggling learning to be a superhero and living a normal teenage life.
The art style is unique, having a more whimsical style than other superhero comics. This art style elevates the story as it works marvelously with Kamala's superpowers, her adventures, and her personality.
Now most people might know Ms. Marvel from her MCU series now, I think if you liked the series you'd also like her comics, but there are differences. The first two issues and the first episode of the show share the same plot despite the changes. But after that, they both go off in different directions. Kamala is also different in both. She's a bit more messy and snarky in the comics while in the show she's a little sweeter. They also have COMPLETELY different power sets. In the comics she's stretchy, a shapeshifter, and has a healing factor while in the show she creates light constructs and can also time travel and teleport for some reason.
Now I liked the show, but so far I think I prefer the comics, she's more relatable and the story is more whimsical. But I think the show did her costume better since in that it has a lot of meaning for her character, I also like that her origin story is more self contained in the show whereas in the comics it's related to outside events having to do with the Inhumans.
I really enjoyed this intro to Ms. Marvel and definitely plan on reading more of her series and checking out some of the other series featuring her!
