Ms. Marvel, Vol. 8: Mecca by G. Willow Wilson
3.0
OK, I did enjoy this volume. The last 2 issues of the book deal with a runaway train and that whole thing seemed silly to me. There is a place where Ms. Marvel picks up the train and switches tracks. If you have ever had a train set that you played with, you know that you have to set each car on the track and make sure it is on the track or it will drag and derail the train. You can just lift the engine car and the whole train will follow. This was beyond silly to me. I prefer super events that seem to be able to really happen. If something is obviously not going to work, that is not good.
The 1st half of the book is finishing up the story of the crooked mayor. That's a powerful story about the nationalistic tendencies going on in our country right now. People don't want to think this stuff can happen, but it's possible. There are some judges being put on courts who are going to make problems for this country for years to come because they are biased. It's going to be rough. This story is very timely and we see stuff like this happening all over the country right now. The laws are beginning to punish people for being different or needing different services.
It's a scary time and it's amazing that this story is tackling it. I do think the ending of the story is good. Part of me thinks that Kamala should have been able to handle it and couldn't and then part of me is glad that the political process still works in the story. We saw the governorship in GA stolen and other places where voter suppression is happening, so things like this can easily happen.
I have seen people talking about this being leftist politics, but it's not. This is about freedom, the very foundation of our country. Anyway. It was a good mirror of what is happening around us today. It was dealt with pretty well.
I hope there are more good stories coming.
