Anything that defends the current generation of young adults is 10/10 in my book. Kamala is absolutely adorable. Wolverine actually stopped himself from cursing at our favorite Muslim teenager! This series continues to be a delight.

This was a good follow up to the first volume, though it lacked some of the depth in that collection. I'm hoping they continue to move the story forward, and maintain their focus on the protagonist's story with the depth and complexity demonstrated in the original collection, rather than falling into easy comic book tropes.

I really enjoyed this, just not as much as the first one. Kamala is still a very interesting character but I just wish we got to see more of her real life instead of just her superhero life.

Kind of dumb considering this is literally a superhero comic book.

18. A book by an author you've only read once before

TERRIFIC. Love the Wolverine appearance, and Lockjaw. Kamala and the series really start to hit their stride in these issues and it's great stuff.
Great cover, too. My 8yo brought this to read while sitting on the sidelines at swimming and everyone from 5yo girls to 12yo boys to grownups were coveting our reading material.

I really like this version of Ms. Marvel, but this storyline wasn't my favorite.

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.
