Overview
Ms. Marvel has been a very exhilarating series filled with
loads of fun and entertainment. I have immediately love Kamala Khan’s
personality since the first issue. She is a very lovable character that tries
to really hard to fit the new world she’s in. It’s really hard for her to fit
in with herself into school because she’s sort of a comic book geek and she
comes from a Muslim/Islamic background that’s really different than what people
of interpret of recent comings. Plus, she has a new found power about being an
inhuman that she just finding much about. So, now that she has school, culture
and superhero antics to fit into. It comes off as a challenge struggle to find
her place in the world and looks like she has a start. I also love her sense of
bravery and she really tries hard to saving people and fighting the dangers of
villains. What I find most interesting thing about this series, is the aspects
of the Muslim religion. This book has good positive influences of this
religion’s belief systems that can hold a good sense of faith and confidence
for all people no matter where they come from. It shows that this religion is
really not bad at all and that people have often misrepresented what this
religion is all about. It’s really similar to all sorts of other religions but
they just do things a little different. That’s why I love this series because
it goes against all the misrepresentations of Muslims in America and it shows
people that they aren’t “terrorists”. They are all just like everyone else who
is just trying to enjoy life. Ms. Marvel also has a great supporting cast of
friends and family who stand up and believe in her or care about her in every
way. This series also has a sense of charm and humor that really makes me laugh
with happiness and it makes me look forward to this series every month. I also
think if you haven’t checked this series out, you should check the issues
featuring Wolverine. It really brings out a good dynamic relationship in these
two that makes them into a good team. It really puts a warm place in my heart.
So, if you’re looking for a series that all about fitting in this world which,
everyone has a problem with, then I highly suggest you check this series out.
Even this issue should be worth checking out because good issue that shows Ms.
Marvel’s heroism and plus there’s Lockjaw, isn’t he the cutest!? (Laughs)
Story
While Ms. Marvel is investigating the whereabouts of the
Inventor she bumps into Lockjaw and takes him to an adventure of saving people
being kidnapped as she finds something mysterious about her powers.
The Good
I believe this is a really good issue. It’s very nice to see
the relationship of Ms. Marvel and Lockjaw grows. They seem to have a great
bond and it’s something you will really have fun and enjoy seeing. This issue
is also very funny especially the situations of how Kamala’s parents and
brother react to Ms. Marvel keeping Lockjaw. The things they say are off the
wall funny. I also like the sense of bravery Kamala is getting to find ways to
saving people in any means necessary. It really shows her aspects of being a
hero and I like how she and her friend, Bruno are putting their investigating
skills to the
test.
Adrian Alphona does a great job with the art. There are some
great action scenes with Ms. Marvel and Lockjaw that really shows some nice
teamwork. There’s some great work with the face expressions on the characters
facing especially how her parents react to Lockjaw or how Kamala’s head blows
up like a balloon she hurts herself. It really brings out the humor in this
book. I also think Ian Herring did a
great job with the colors like the shades of blue when Lockjaw teleports or
when Kamala tries to save the boy or the robot’s visor. He really puts the use
of unique colors in places where they can shine.
The Bad
There’s only minor gripes in this issue that doesn’t really
bother me too much, like why would Kamala Khan introduce Lockjaw to her family
when she’s trying to keep her secret identity from her family and wouldn’t that
make them suspicious especially when she’s out there fighting bad guys with
Lockjaw where people might actually see? But I feel this is a minor gripe
because it did bring out some fun humor moments and situations that I enjoyed.
There are some panels that were less detailed and had some
bad art. But again, it’s very minor when the majority of issue has good art and
coloring.
Theme
The theme for this issue is heroism. Heroism is a big
responsibility to have especially when you’re able to endanger your life for
the safety of other’s lives. It also takes a sense of bravery and skill to make
effort in being a hero. It can give you pride, but you have to be careful
because without skill you can fall into some deep danger and hurt yourself.
This is what I saw with Ms. Marvel, she really takes pride in saving these
teenagers and some type of bravery to the point where she endangers herself
which is something she would need to work on eventually.
Verdict
The give this issue a 4.8/9.8 out of 5/10 stars. It’s a very entertaining issue that will really make you laugh. It has its humorous moments especially with Lockjaw. He really puts a smile in your face. Plus, it’s just hilarious how everyone reacts around him. It’s nice to see how Ms. Marvel puts her bravery to her heart in saving people even when she is hurting herself. Adrian does an amazing art especially when it comes to the action and Ian does a very good job on the colors as well. So, together they really make the art shine in this issue. The only minor gripe is Kamala showing Lockjaw to her parents that can reveal her secret identity. But other than that it brings out the humor in this issue. That’s why it doesn’t bother me much. But I think this is a great issue that I recommend you picking up. It really has some joy you will really love.
