One tiny complaint is the absence of Adrian Alphona's delicate, cartoony art. There's a ridiculous vibe to his sub-plot but also a concentrated intensity as he navigates the many impediments that keep him from reaching Kamala. I appreciate the lengths he'd go to to respond to Kamala's S.O.S. What's especially fun for me in this arc is that Kamala's best friend/sidekick Bruno gets a chance to shine. Willow Wilson's hands, Kamala will remain a fully fleshed out character. I won't wax rhapsodic (again) over how awesome Kamala is - we now take it for granted that, in G. Issues #13-15 is the "Crushed" arc in which Kamala thinks she's found her soulmate ('s what happens when you read too much fanfic, yo), and she gets caught up in the shady dealings in New Attilan prior to the final Inhumans issue, and sweet pop culture references are made re Stars Trek and Wars. Marvel, only to run into the mischief-making Loki, and, so, cue the mischief. Issue #12 deals with Kamala's sneaking out to crash a Valentine's Day school dance as Ms. But, because it's seen thru Kamala's eyes, it's all made accessible.Īnd what's more accessible than teen crushes? Hold up, though. As a plus, we're treated to some much-needed insight into a culture that, post-911, has been kicked to the curb in these parts. And, really, that's essentially Stan Lee's Peter Parker right there, an out-of-sorts kid with amazing powers, and we can absolutely relate to what he's going thru. She's a bit of an outcast and an uber-nerd - and it tickles that she writes fanfic - and insecure and trying to catch a feel for what she wants to be. Yet she comes across as such a normal, typical American girl. Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American teenager living in Jersey City but under a Muslim household. Marvel TPB at the library, never mind that there's a month-long waiting list. My 9-year-old niece, who resents reading but loves Kamala, reserved the first Ms. Willow Wilson has done an amazing job at making her so relatable.
Not only does she represent Marvel's push for ethnic diversity, but G.
I think, for a superhero to truly make an impact, their civilian identity has to resonate just as strongly with the readers. More than any other contemporary teen character in comics, it's Kamala Khan (sorry, Miles Morales) who best recalls the 1960s Peter Parker that struck such a chord back in the day. Willow Wilson and temp artists Elmo Bondoc (issue #12) and Takeshi Miyazawa (issues #13-15). It's another first rate TPB mostly brought about by writer G. MARVEL: CRUSHED collects issues #12-15 as well as S.H.I.E.L.D. For now, we have to settle for her exploits as read on paper (or online, if that's your jam). Marvel, I won't be surprised if she's soon embigenning her bad self in the Marvel Cinematic U. There's such a groundswell of support for Ms.
