Ms. Marvel, Vol. 7: Damage Per Second by G. Willow Wilson
3.0
There were a couple elements about this one that I find hard to overlook:
The cover. Is this how a 16 year old should be portrayed, in this objectified power pose?
The lack of my favorite Ms. Marvel artist, Adrian Alphona. I mean, these artists weren't bad but Alphona's art is so lovely and his linework paired with the colors in particular sets vibe to the series that I can't quite put to words. Maybe the change in artist will signify she's growing up so the vibe is changing? I'm unsure.
On the other hand, the storylines covered here are timely, (particularly in a series target towards teens) informative, and important. Since it had been over a year since I read the last volume, I pretty much totally forgot what happened previously. This series seems to be less convoluted than some other Marvel titles in the sense that as long as you know who this character is you can understand the story.
I will happily keep reading the series but be sad if Alphona doesn't return.
