4saradouglas's review against another edition

I liked it. Parts were a little confusing since it has been so long since I read the first volume, but it wasn't bad. I think my main complaint is that this one wasn't as personal... I get it's a superhero comic, but I like getting to know Kamala, her family, and her friends. I like the little inside jokes and bits of pop culture thrown in. Wolverine was interesting... but didn't really seem like Wolverine. Will see how volume 3 goes and decide if I will carry on from there!

5 stars.
This was so much better than the first volume!!! I loved everything - the cameos, plot, and, of course, the art style. Highly recommend this one.

Wolverine and Captain America both pop up in this volume! I like Kamala and her idealistic nerd awesomeness. This is a fun series and I look forward to reading the next volume.

So, I'll say, now quite as good as volume 1, but it still leaves me squirming to read volume 3!
Kamala Kahn--aka Ms. Marvel--continues her work protecting Jersey City. During a chance run-in with Wolverine, she's given not only some good advice on being a hero, but her own sidekick, the MASSIVE dog, Lockjaw. The two head off to discover the plots of The Inventor, and, hopefully, a way for Kamala to keep Lockjaw, despite him not being pak (pure) and forbidden from the house.
Kamala is refreshing, being such a well-adjusted hero. She's silly and a bit brash, but she doesn't angst. And the people about her are also quite upbeat. Even Sheikh Abdullah, whom her parents insist she speak with, is very understanding of Kamala. It's just quite nice to finish a comic and be cheery, rather than bemoaning the human condition.

Wow, is that what people really think of millenials? Anyway, LOCKJAW! Yay!
Love the art, love the voices.

There were lots of delightful scenes in this volume, but some of the dialogue fell flat, and it seemed to play into cornball comic caricaturization more than it needed to. That said, Ms. Marvel and her creative team are still one of the best things happening in mainstream comics.
