ms. mavel has been on my radar for a while. i considered buying it, because i wasn't too sure if the library had it, but they did! i have to admit that i know nothing about the marvel universe. i haven't see any of the recent marvel movies (i am a movie snob and only watch things with actors or directors, i love or if like it did really well at sundance.) so i am confused as to how another superhero shows up when i google ms. marvel. can someone please explain this to me?
to start, i love love love the premise of ms. marvel. the real identity of ms. marvel is kamala, a muslim teenager. she has strict parents and doesn't always agree with some of the more sexist aspects of islam (also the bacon restriction) but her desire to do good, is fueled from the koran, which is nice to see. and being a girl of color, i of course love seeing a girl of color as a superhero!
however, my love for her kind of stops there. i didn't enjoy the stories in the comic as much as i thought i would. i guess i had an issue with who is going to clean up all of the messes that she made? like at school, who is going to pay for all of that? and how is the bodega owner going to be cool with his store being damaged.
and i know that this is all kind of getting to know my super powers and stuff, but i didn't get what her power was. morphing right? i also kind of felt she shouldn't have rushed into the saving like she did, but glad that she did. and i mean she is getting better, so hopefully the storylines will get better too.
all in all, i am happy that she is in the marvel universe, but hope she has more interesting stories.
also i think she would make a cute halloween costume! i should make that happen! but it would be this first attempt at a costume with a fanny pack that i go for!
