I got what I wanted I guess
I know I bought it less than good quality but it a bit hard to get over the spine looking like some tried to rip it in half. I can deal with imperfections like dog eared pages and stuff but this one bugs me. Other than that it’s good enough. It arrived in a timely well packed manner and was what I ordered.

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of something really good
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

The Ms. Marvel nae has really evolved into something great over the years in Marvel history. With Carol Danvers being the new "Captain Marvel", I think a lot of people cam back to the character's history and appreciated this new take on a powerful female superhero. After reading "No Normal", I strongly believe Kamala Khan will do the same.

Kamala is a Pakistani-American teenager. Right off the bat, you see that Marvel is going forward with making many beloved characters more diverse and practical when comparared to the world we live in today. I don't get the sense that her ethnicity is as big as Sm Wilson being the new Captain America or the Hulk being Asian American or Thor being a woman, but I think it's as equally important. Often, the comic uses terms that reference her beliefs and every day life (that isn't as common with non Pakistanian Americans), that I welcome wholeheartedly. Wilson creates an immersive story that will instruct you and bring more of an understanding to the character. Still, it's familiar. If you're a teenager reading this, then you probably have said or at least understood her frustration growing up with strict parents. If you're reading and you've already graduated high school, you remember the themes. I feel as though Kamala Khan is just like the rest of us in some way. She's as big of a fan as THE Ms. Marvel as well as other comic book heroes.

I hope my review wasn't too spotty. I tend to jump from topic to topic and digress often. All in all, Kamala Khan comes to embrace and earn the Ms. Marvel mantle and it's very fun watching her come into her own. I think anybody that's on the fence abut this series shouldn't be. Jump in. Come over. This is a great series that's only going to evolve into something bigger and greater. Well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but extremely overhyped.

On the front cover of this edition of Ms. Marvel, a review quote says 'this may be the most important comic of 2014'. While I definitely liked this story, I think this has to be an exagerration.

The strong points of this comic have already been covered by others. Marvel's revamp of Ms. marvel into a Muslim teenager from New Jersey comes with some good artwork, humor, and a character who does a good job of showing the clash between trying to fit in at home and with modern culture. All of these certainly make the story enjoyable. But I have read plenty of the other massively critically acclaimed comics of the past, like Gotham Central, Swamp Thing, and Sandman, and this does not measure up because of two flaws.

Flaw one: the dialogue. Most of the teen characters in this story talk in a very valley-girlish way. If you play a drinking game where drink every time someone says 'for real' or 'totally', you will pass out. Look, I only stopped being a teenager recently, and this is not how we speak.

Flaw two: the home life. Now, don't get me wrong, Kamala's struggle with her parents is one of the books strong points. But this book doesn't deliver on the consequences of Kamala's super-heroing. Her parents say that she is grounded, but she is still shown staying out all the time training and saving the world. It just makes the family life ring false to me.

All in all, this is a decent start, but it is getting more praise simply for adding diversity than for the actual writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth a Hugo Award for Best Graphic Novel
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015

After a Spiderman and X-Men filled youth, I largely stopped reading comic books. What little comic book reading I’ve done since then has been mostly The Walking Dead with a few other Image Comics thrown in. So Ms. Marvel is my first foray back to Marvel (the real stuff, not that talkie stuff the kids are into these days). I will be back.

You see, Ms. Marvel is really, really damn good. Ms. Marvel returns to ground well trod by comics: the immigrant experience (Superman); gangly, gawky teenage years (Spiderman); and being the Other (X-Men). But it remains fertile ground when done well, and Ms. Marvel is exceedingly well done. Not in the big ways of great action set pieces or an epic storyline, because at the very least we haven’t had time to get there, but in the little ways. All of them, from Ms. Marvel trying to control her new powers to simple moments between a frustrated, loving father and a teenage girl outgrowing the nest.

The teen girl is Kamala: a young, Pakistani-American girl. A more devout female friend (Nakia) and brother, a more Americanized male friend (Bruno) (and love interest?), a “mean girl” (Zoe), long suffering and hardworking immigrant parents round out the main cast for now. The rebellion comes early when Kamala sneaks out to go to a high school party where she has her first sip of booze. It ends like it ended for most of us, with an encounter with a terrigen bomb that activates her Inhuman genes. (You might not understand any of that any more than I did; it’s ok, you don’t really need to because the comic doesn’t much concern itself with the source.) The result is Kamala gaining powers; that is, the power to manipulate her body—both to do stuff like create giant fists and to make herself gigantically huge or ridiculously tiny—and a healing factor.

Like I said, the story doesn’t start with a bang, but the volume sets up a Big Bad, someone named the Inventor with suitably villainous inventions. But Kamala starts by pulling girls out of the lake and foiling convenience store robberies. Which is good, because we get treated to wonderful scenes of Kamala trying to control her powers and repurposing a burkini as a superhero costume. And of course all that little stuff, including not just the two-way tension between being a superhero and being a normal teen, but the three-way tension among a stricter faith, mainstream American consumerism, and immigrants striving for the American Dream.

I'm light years beyond the age this series is aimed at, but found it just as thoroughly enjoyable as I'd hoped I would. A fun, nuanced, relatable teenaged hero-in-the-making that admirably fills the niche that Buffy and Spiderman filled for me when I was a kid.
