I read this one all in one sitting and loved it so much! It's been my favorite Ms. Marvel volume so far, which is great since I am working on a chapter revision about teaching this comic and the Serenity comics. This volume broke my heart, as it's about friendship, duty, consequences, and finding oneself in the midst of chaos and confusion. The storyline touches on so many relevant stories today: the dangers of profiling, the beauty of migration, the importance of immigrant narratives, the power of true friendship, and picking up the pieces when things literally crash and burn. The world didn't end, but it seemed like it was going to. Gee, I wonder why post-apocalyptic stories are big right now ;). Kamala is becoming an even stronger character, and this volume tells more of the back story of her family and of her complex friendship with Bruno. If you don't have it, head to the bookstore ASAP and pick it up! I promise you'll be so glad you did.

A re-read. A little scattered, a little uneven. After watching the MCU show it was interesting to see the bits in India and Pakistan. This was an uncomfortable read. But stopping crime before it happens is an uncomfortable idea.
Not super surprising, but still good. This one is a downer. Both because it's not original, either with the Civil War plot or the Minority Report plot. And Kamala isn't being supported by her cast of friends. And she's not acting as smart as she actually is, which is kind of a Spider-Man thing. But it's still real. It still feels like Kamala is a real person in a real place.

Hello, unexpected philosophical discussion that popped up in this! Happily surprised, though saddened by the course this took. However, it’s refreshing to see that Kamala’s having to deal with very real consequences for her actions. Loved the final issue of her time in Karachi and the reminder of why she originally became a superhero. Continued my feelings of how this parallels with Peter Parker’s storyline.

Another excellent story! Captain Marvel wants Kamala to help with a team that can stop criminals before they commit the crime. She is excited for this except when it gets personal. Wonderful graphics and a good read.

A stream-of-consciousness, disjointed review/ramble:
Little Bruno and Kamala meeting for the first time in a flashback and bonding over Tween Mutant Samurai Turtles was magic.
Not sure how I feel about a couple of the illustrators -- I think Alphona is the best, but it was interesting seeing the other takes in #8-12.
I loved seeing Kamala stand up to Captain Marvel. That felt like such a graduation moment for Ms. Marvel -- realizing her idol isn't someone she's willing to blindly follow and standing her ground to protect her city. I hope there's resolution eventually, but it was powerful to see Ms. Marvel willing to cut ties with her hero to follow what's right.
The Miles Morales and Iron Man cameos were great, especially Iron Man's request for a gyro and fries.
The sprinkling of flashbacks to Kamala's grandmother, mother, and young Kamala made Volume 6 an absolute standout. Loved the juxtaposition of art with those too.
I'm extremely stressed about Bruno's health, and all the conflict between Kamala and Bruno in general, and I'm hoping some happier things come around in volume 7.
Solid read. I'm enjoying the show even more now that I've picked up the comics again to see all the little details they're pulling.
