I really enjoyed G. Willow Wilson’s series of Ms. Marvel books (published 2014-2019). It was fun reading about a teen trying to balance superhero life with regular life—which, in Kamala Khan’s case, includes her Muslim culture and traditions. So, when I saw a favorite YA author, Samira Ahmed was taking a turn at Ms. Marvel, I hurried to buy a copy.
And, then I proceeded to…not read it for two years?! Why? Who knows! But leave it to a reading challenge to give me a nudge to move it off my TBR. I enjoyed this dive back into Kamala’s life, seeing her friends again, getting a new storyline that involved the multiverse, and, because of that fact, getting appearances by other favorite Marvel characters: Wasp and Doctor Strange.
My only complaint? I have no idea who the man in the trench coat is nor what his storyline is. From some online research into the order-to-read Ms. Marvel, it looks like the story may continue online? But it is very hard to tell where to go next and if I would even get any resolution when I got there. At least G. Willow Wilson and, then, Saladin Ahmed, had series that felt complete in their story arcs.
