Ms. Marvel, Vol. 7: Damage Per Second by G. Willow Wilson
4.0
I liked this volume but not as much as the prior. The first issue was basically a voting call to arms, which is great and important, it just sucks that based on the publishing date, it came out after the 2016 election was over. Granted this sort of message is important any time of year, but getting it out earlier in the series would probably have been better. I'm not about to be mad about important messages in accessible places for today's youth. Also it was a little ironic that I read it the day before the midterm elections this year!
The second issue has something of a computer virus villain. It wasn't my favorite arc, though I loved all of the gaming terms and MMO references. I'm sure this went over some peoples' heads. I cared little for the actual villain and how to defeat him compared to how the characters reacted. When some hacking in a teen drama means that someone's dirty secret is going to get leaked to the new school, the person reacts one of two ways: they panic and try to keep it from happening, or they own up to it. The latter happened in this volume, and that scene was so well done.
