Ms. Marvel

I had to force some "reading breaks" to avoid reading the whole volume in one sitting. I love that we keep seeing Kamala growing into her powers and character, this time it was more focused on her mind and heart. Being a teenager is hard on the love life, even when you are not a Muslim superhero. I felt the plot was a little less intricate than the previous two, but equally satisfying. I love this series and I will reread this volume to be sure I did not miss a thing.

A fun and entertaining read, even if I'm not fully within the perimeters of its target demographic. As an outsider looking in I was pretty impressed by the way that Wilson continues to weave Kamala and her family's Pakistani culture heritage into the plot. But obviously the bar really isn't that high for DC Marvel when it comes to diversity.

Obviously this comic isn't going to be for everyone, but it continues to be really nice to read something that really pushes the boundaries of what makes a super hero comic. And maybe I'm crazy, but I love love loved Bruno's refusal to demonize friendship and mope in "the friend zone".
