This was a sweet ending to G. Willow Wilson's run with Ms. Marvel. In this volume, we get a roundup of the major characters and breakthroughs in Kamala's arc so she now feels like she has a handle on being a hero and strength in her identity.
Issues 32-35 are the final battle for Wilson's run, Kamala faces classic Spiderman villain the Shocker and discovering how her powers work. It's in a way the final, epic battle of this run. The last three issues are much more personal without a central and antagonist and is more so about Kamala's relationships to her friends, family, and allies she's made over the course of the series. It's a really nice way to wrap things up that emphasizes the character arcs.
Now that I've read this series, I fully see why Ms. Marvel is the cultural comic book phenomenon she is. The series has such a lovely feeling to it while dealing with topical themes and Kamala is such as a lovable character! Despite having liked the Ms. Marvel Disney+ show, I found comics way better and it made me a little salty the MCU changed her powers and didn't keep the tone of the books.
Honestly I think Ms. Marvel could've gotten a movie instead, bigger deal than a TV series. I also think she'd work really well in animation given her powers and how stylized a lot of the art is, if Spider-Verse could get an incredible, successful animated movie series why can't Ms. Marvel?
