Book 1 in the Ms. Marvel Collected Editions
Summary
Ms. Marvel is a normal Muslim teenager in Jersey City – until something happens. Now she has to figure out what is going on, and without tipping off her very protective parents.
What I Liked
- This is a great starter comic series if you have no prior knowledge of the comic universes. I tried reading other comics that were hard to get into because I had no idea what was going on. And while different characters do pop up throughout the series, you don’t have to have any prior knowledge to follow and understand the story line.
- I loved how being Muslim was just a part of the main character’s life. It wasn’t a central focus and it wasn’t in-your-face, but it was there as an influence in her life. It was neat to see the religion from the every day point of view instead of the large scale religions 101 definition.
- I really like the character. She’s emotionally strong and isn’t afraid of being herself, but not in an unrealistic way.
- I like the side characters in this series as well. They seem supportive of her and her ambitions, even if they accidentally find out she has super powers.
What I Didn’t Like
- Not much
In Conclusion
If you’re looking for a way to delve into the comic book world, or if you’re just looking for a comic about a kick-butt teenager, this is the book for you.
