 Ms. Marvel: Something New (Ms. Marvel #9-10) by G. Willow Wilson-248 pages

I previously read a few volumes of G. Willow Wilson's Ms. Marvel and really enjoyed it. With a show on Disney Plus about Ms. Marvel reportedly releasing sometime this year, I was interested in reading more of her story. Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) learns more about herself and what she really wants. She also learns more about how her powers work. Old and new friends and foes appear in this collection. I really enjoyed reading this as well and I look forward to watching the TV series when it releases.

Ms. Marvel is still getting acclimated to her new powers and her superhero life. She continues her quest to find and defeat the Inventor. She learns more about her powers and her limits. Kamala/Ms. Marvel learns that it's good to bring friends and be part of a team. She also learns more about the origins of her powers and that it wasn't merely the effects of the Terrigen gas, but also something more. I am enjoying this series so far, but I'm still not sure if I like it as much as the Avengers video game. I look forward to continuing the story in the subsequent volumes.

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson

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.
