Getting back into the marvel comics. I love Kamala but I just didn’t feel what I felt in the first volume. I guess I thought this one to be a slower pace.

Reading more comics and graphic novels has been a goal of mine for quite some time, after seeing (and enjoying) Avengers: Age of Ultron, I decided perhaps it was time to check out some Marvel comics. Of course the next question became, “Umm...where do I start?”. My inner (well, outer) feminist lead me to the new Marvel Now! incarnation of Ms. Marvel. A series about a young woman, written by a woman, that is critically acclaimed? Sign me up! So without further ado, here is my review of Ms. Marvel Vol. 1: No Normal and Ms. Marvel Vol. 2: Generation Why, by G. Willow Wilson.
This series is so much fun! Kamala Khan is a wonderful protagonist. She is funny and nerdy, and learning to embrace herself and her newfound powers. She is working to balance her many worlds: daughter, muslim, teenager, superhero, and it a joy to read as she tackles the issues surrounding each of her roles. The art is lovely, colorful and bright, and feels perfectly suited to the character of Kamala. From references to video games, to cameos of other well known Marvel characters, there are so many little things to enjoy within each issue.
Perhaps the big bad wasn’t too frightening, but I wouldn’t want it to be in these first few issues. Kamala is just learning about her powers, there is plenty of time for her to tackle bigger, badder villains.
These first two volumes did a great job of introducing us to Kamala and her powers, while also setting up plenty of story fodder for future issues. As a new comic reader, I found these volumes to be very easy to dive into and digest. I cannot wait to pick up Volume 3 and read more about this new Ms. Marvel, and to see what she will accomplish next.

I really liked this one. The inventor was a great bad guy and Kamala is learning Things about Herself; solid superhero stuff.

Kamala is a genuinely delightful character, and I enjoyed this volume immensely. What made it even better was the attention to detail in the backgrounds - so many fun things tucked away, like in the printing of a magazine cover. I went through the book at least three times after I finished the story to catch them all. The more I read, the more I can't wait for the upcoming Marvels movie. :)

This series honestly brings me SO much joy. Pairing Kamala the excitable fangirl up with Wolverine of all people was genius, and I would love to see more of them together in the future.
The inventor was smart and creepy enough to make a good villain without straying too far from the fun vibes this series has established.

Heeeey, Inhumans. I get that reference.
I didn't love this one as much as I did the first, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty to love here. Kamala is still an absolutely fantastic character, and the references and jokes are just fantastic. Plus an appearance by Wolverine, which is hilarious and actually rather sweet.
I'm rather amused by the entire storyline, and the twist this takes on "Millenials are killing the ____", thing as well as the "The Youth Rising Up to Fix What the Last Generation Screwed Up" portion. It's clever, and very well done.
Lastly, Lockjaw is awesome. Seriously, I need to hug that dog, it is amazing.
