Ms Marvel battles a bunch of d-bags in yellow hats who stole an election and want to make Jersey City great again.

::pointed look::

She also gets a handsome side kick with really great hair. I hope he sticks around for a little while.

This volume does so many things almost perfectly, and only a couple little things badly. The trope of sympathy-begging white male tears is satisfyingly flipped in one subplot. Kamala is shown growing and being real and struggling with doubt and fear and complicated political issues. The art is on point all the way through. The relationship between Aamir and Kyesha buds beautifully. Kyesha "calls in" Nakia while marching arm in arm with megaphones ready, and has a brief, loving argument about the secularization and commodification of the hijab.

I'm just so thrilled that this book is still going strong and retaining the creators. It's been growing right alongside Squirrel Girl for roughly the same time and both of those titles are still consistently my favorite Marvel comic.

Now if this is not an exceptional storytelling!
Wilson and her team are also giving the supporting characters a well-developed history and motivations.
There's a shocking reveal that will leave everyone conflicted and reminds me of Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger.
Lastly, I LOVE SURFER-HAIRED BOY. Red Dagger is very charming I wish I could see posts about him in Instagram too!

This continues to be a very pure, incredibly important series about growth and learning and friendship

It's good to get back into this series, it's one of my favorites. I LOVE the art in these books, really is nice and has a natural flow to things. There is a lot to balance here for Ms. Marvel, superhero-ing, school, life, community, and now a hostile political group.

This took a more serious turn, as the volume echos some of the political atmosphere that is happening currently. I personally like this, gives readers perspective of how it is affecting other people. Also brings in a good question about being a superhero in this time. How does a hydra member being a position of community power bring/take to your super hero table. This is something I how they dive more into. I really think this comic has some good political/superhero commentary.

Train ride was a bit of a yawn? I'm glad to see Red Dagger again, I guess this is an idea issue for them to talk and connect? I'm also wondering about Ms. Marvel's time alone and how she will grow from this volume.
