Still am enjoying the series, but I wish Kamala would interact with the inhumans more as well as the avengers

Where do I read the adventures of Bruno and Kwezi? I really hope they continue through this series.
The thing I love most about Ms Marvel is the Real Life as Monsters aspect. It's very Buffy, and may be an aspect of comics I am just not familiar with as a mostly non reader of them. But from racial profiling to Gerrymandering, Ms Marvel has to find a way to defeat it all. And I love that.

I'm really loving these. The first one (13) was very ra-ra get out the vote, but the others were quite engaging.

This is the least-good volume of Ms. Marvel since G. Willow Wilson et al started it with Kamala Khan a few years back. Not much happens in it, but it still takes just as long. One of the characters with a dynamic arc comes out as not-straight - by a forced outing. And is immediately assumed to be "gay." And is immediately assumed to be doomed. Gahh fuck that tragic trope, but I'm still rooting for the characters involved.
The main storyline appeals to MMORPG (or whatever that acronym is) gamers and was likely inspired in part by that A.I. that Google or whoever made a couple years ago and put on Twitter. Within a short period of time, enough people were feeding awful garbage reasoning and vocab to the bot, and it learned from their behavior online and turned horrible rapidly. So, like that but in a comic book, and also more like every '90s sci-fi movie where a video game comes to life or sucks the players in or whatever. There's not really a single original thing in this run of Ms. Marvel issues, and even the moral lesson about cyber bullying is watered down. Squirrel Girl did it far better.
I didn't hate this book, and if it were any other title, I might've given it 3 or even 4 stars, but in the trajectory of Ms. Marvel comics, it's not great.

This storyline sets Ms. Marvel apart from other cintemporary storylines because of how grounded it is to a teen's mundane life; online games and social media, yet not lose the faith in humanity. There will be a dilemma in this story that will ultimately teach Kamala how to face consequences for the best of everyone.

Still my one of my favorite things in comics right now I'm always excited for the new Ms. Marvel volumes! I really really hope that the voting issue gets spread through the internet when elections come up because it's really incredible and answers FAQ and is educational and inspiring!
The art in this is amazing as always and I really love the internet troll villain in this a lot. It reminds me of cleverbot which was this AI you could talk to and such. The troll basically learned bad behavior on the internet and so to defeat him was being kind to people I thought was kinda funny. It's good to see Ms. Marvel being a gaming nerd but at the same time maybe learning to keep her secret identity under tighter wraps? ~Ashley

As the series progresses, Ms. Marvel makes it pretty clear that this series is intended for teens. Damage Per Second focused on getting teens and citizens to "rock the vote" and change politics by being involved, the second part focused on a computer virus that learned from people connected on the internet and started blackmailing Ms. Marvel and releasing people's secrets. Overall, not bad, but not very strong either.

Generally good. Even though the premise of the main arc was a little ridiculous (even for a comic book), the story was told well, and I enjoyed seeing Ms. Marvel and friends wrestle with some of the things a young Spider-Man (or young person in love) has to.
I appreciate the intent of the gerrymandering story, but it felt a little too "after school special", and detracted just a little from my overall enjoyment.
