Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson-120 pages
This is the origin story for Ms. Marvel, aka Kamala Khan. She is a 16-year-old Pakistani-American girl in Jersey City. Kamala is still trying to figure out her place in the world and she sneaks out of the house to attend a party her parents told her she couldn't go to. During the party, she is made fun of and she runs off. As she is running away, a green mist fills the air and knocks her out. The green mist is Terrigen gas and it gives her super powers. Kamala saves a girl who was making fun of her at the party from drowning. Kamala trains and learns more about her strengths and weaknesses. She attempts to save a friend's brother from The Inventor. The first time she fails, but she prepares and succeeds on her second attempt. Her parents want her to be a good Muslim young woman. I was inspired to read this comic book series by playing the very recent video game "Marvel's Avengers." Ms. Marvel's origin story is slightly different in the video game, but the game was very enjoyable, so I wanted to read this for the monthly challenge.
