Review of 'Ms. Marvel, Vol 1.' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Kamala Khan is a muslin born in Jersey that has troubles both fitting her family and the world she lives in. Her life gets even more difficult to manage when she becomes the new Ms. Marvel. Kamala will have to learn to live with who she is and not who she wants to be.

I read this while listening to the Audio Graphic version, and I felt it was a perfect combo because characters are brought to life with that brilliant audio and gain colour with the images. I am sure I enjoyed it more for that. Kamala is a wonderful character and even though "her world" is taking the first steps, the necessity to learn who you are and fit in is universal and will speak to everyone. It is a great introduction to this new Ms Marvel, and seems to be directed at young adults.
