Ms. Marvel, Vol. 7: Damage Per Second by G. Willow Wilson
4.0
Another charming and well-crafted Ms. Marvel. Kamala Kahn's personality is as much bubbly but fraught teenager as ever, and she and her whole universe is delightfully quirky and appealing. This volume seems to be a bit more blunt with the messages than usual, the first story being an appeal to vote, the second being a lesson in online privacy and bullying. But while I would have loved for them to be a bit more subtle, I really don't mind it much.
I guess my biggest gripe with this issue is that the villains facing Ms. Marvel are relatively uninteresting. Hydra makes a half-hearted attempt at taking over Jersey City in the first, short story, mostly serving as a clear opponent for people to rally against, while the villain of the second story ends up being less interesting than they could have been, in my opinion.
Never the less, if you have liked previous instalments of Ms. Marvel, odds are you'll like this one. If you haven't read any Ms. Marvel... I guess this isn't the worst place to begin, but it's not the best either.
