Because I am a sucker for Ms. Marvel and/or Squirrel Girl, of course I picked up this tie-in graphic novel for the new Marvel/Disney cartoon show starring a group of their younger heroes. Since I have admitted I will follow those two anywhere, I was prepared for some fluff, and fluff I got, but I was pleased that both Ryan North and G. Willow Wilson (the primary Ms. M and SG writers) also contributed to this collection because they are both amazing. The action in this story meandered quite a lot and could have been compressed into a couple fight scenes to avoid repetition, but overall seeing Kamala Khan and Doreen Green be awesome together in their characteristically kind and geeky ways was a delight. Plus, the cute rounded art, though different from their usual runs, still appealed to both me and my kids.
