Ms Marvel #1 ANMN C Willow Wilson Books

I’m a DC gal and I always will be but that’s not to say that I don’t appreciate the Marvel Universe because I do. Marvel, Inc. has made the courageous and bold decision to push the boundaries of what we’re accustomed to reading in comics and has given us a much-needed dose of diversity!! Although there are people out there who believe the reboot of Ms. Marvel is a forced diversity in comics, it doesn’t feel genuine. The naysayers believe that perhaps, a new superhero should be created instead. And to that I say, existing superheroes are re-created all the time.

How could I not read a comic about a Muslim Pakistani-American superhero from Jersey City!?!?!?!?!?! Kamala Khan is a delightful character, one who is geeky and one who struggles with her family expectations. These characteristics make her incredibly relatable, likeable AND she writes Avengers fan-fiction!! My inner-geek goddess is named Kamala and suddenly I don’t feel so alone.

She even battles daily temptation…

The dialogue is written exceptionally well, how could it not with a talented writer like G. Willow Wilson? The overall story moves at a fantastic pace, it’s an introduction of what’s to come and the cliff-hanger will leave you wanting more. Let’s focus on the illustration for a moment. It’s brilliant, colorful and the artistry could explain the plot without any words, that’s how fabulous it is. Bravo Adrian Alphona. Bravo.

If you are new to comics and don’t know which one to read, you’ll want to start with this one. Keep in mind, it’s short but you won’t regret reading it.

Ms Marvel #1 ANMN C Willow Wilson Books Reviews

What an absolutely awesome start, truly, I'm in awe - how gifted do you have to be to manage to discuss so many subjects in such a short issue?!

First of all, let us start with Kamala. She is a Muslim Pakistani-American and she is so easy to relate to - her struggles with her family and their expectations of her vs. her desire to fit in and be just like everyone else, her fangirling over The Avengers and her excitement over having posted a popular fanfic, her struggle with her self-image and self-worth due to the European beauty standards that rule society, just... her!

There's Kamala's friend, Nakia, who is not here for you to give her some westernised name when she has a perfectly beautiful name already, and who is a proud hijabi.

Then there is the faux-liberal popular girl, whom Kamala desperately wishes to be like, even though she is, to put it plainly, a horrible person who disguises her racism and islamophobia under the guise of non-intersectional feminism. Which quickly reveals itself once Kamala breaks out of the preconceived ideas she had of her, and what she could or could not do.

Some POC are extremely fortunate in that they always had a very strong sense of self-worth, and found comfort in their ethnicity and cultural traditions - I wasn't among them, many of us aren't, and it can takes us a long, long time to embrace and love who we are, so it's really touching to have Kamala illustrate the result of trying to be someone else to fit in.

So let's see family life and the struggles of being an adolescent girl, non-intersectional feminism, islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, issues concerning self-worth, religion, standards of beauty imposed by the media, trying to fit in - all that, dealt with in the most amazing way, in a short issue!

And it ends with a cliff-hanger that has me wanting to run out and get the next issue right now!
`Ms Marvel' is the first issue in a new comic series from Marvel Worldwide, Inc. Written by G. Willow Wilson, illustrated by Adrian Alphona.

It's only in the last 2-3 years that I've started reading comics and graphic novels. Now I'm invested (okay, obsessed) with the Brian K. Vaughan `Saga' series and willing to read any graphic novel recommendations people want to throw my way. I've enjoyed everything from a poignant and dark biography of Jeffrey Dahmer, to charming young adult ghost stories and a swashbuckling tale set in Istanbul. But I don't read Marvel comics and, until recently, I've had no interest in reading anything from the most famous publisher of comics.

I used to watch the X-Men cartoon as a kid, and I've enjoyed those various movie adaptations. But everything else is pretty much over my head. `Iron Man' movies got a chuckle out of me, but I have no patience for the various `Spiderman' reboots and Scarlett Johansson's photo-shopped poster for the latest `Captain America' movie leaves me seriously unimpressed. I've been aware of the Hawkeye Initiative (whereby the pornographic "strong female character pose" full of boobs and butt is replaced with a male superhero character doing the same pose to highlight the sexism) and it's just made me even less inclined to read the more traditional (macho) Marvel comics.

But then Marvel took a big step forward for diversity in comics, after the aforementioned misogynistic character representation was put in the spotlight, as well as the serious lack of female creators working in the industry. Marvel kicked off the women's "Characters and Creators" initiative - bringing more women into the industry to portray positive female characters in comics. As part of this initiative, Marvel announced a new addition to the Marvel family, with `Ms Marvel' - aka, Kamala Khan - a sixteen-year-old Pakistani-American Muslim superhero.

Now, I'm interested. And having read `Ms Marvel' ... you should be too.

Straight up, going into the first issue of this new series I had no previous knowledge of the Ms Marvel legend (Kamala is taking over the mantle from Carol Danvers who was, apparently, the hero of the Captain Marvel series). Doesn't matter though - I went in cold and didn't miss anything.

That Kamala is Muslim is actually secondary to the fact that she's sixteen-years-old. Don't get me wrong; it's amazing that a minority (let alone Muslim!) character is stepping up as superhero in a Marvel comic. And the importance of this was beautifully touched on in a Washington Post article by Sabaa Tahir (a Pakistani-American herself) who said "As a kid living in an isolated desert town, the most diversity I saw in my media was Claudia Kishi, the Japanese American girl from `The Baby-Sitters Club.' At age 10, or even 15, it would have meant the world to me to see a Pakistani girl portrayed positively, let alone as a comic book superhero."

But Kamala being Muslim really isn't a central focus of the story. Actually, author G. Willow Wilson has written some of Kamala's fellow high school classmates as spitefully "well-meaning", who seem to only know the stereotyped narrative of Muslim women as oppressed creatures to be pitied. "Your headscarf is so pretty, Kiki. I love that color," blonde-haired classmate Zoe says to Kamala's friend Nakia, "But I mean ... nobody pressured you to start wearing it, right? Your father or somebody?" Kamala's friends aptly name Zoe "the concern troll."

In the same Washington Post piece, `Ms Marvel' editor Sana Amanat (who is also Pakistani-American) said of Kamala; "She's imbued with great power and she learns the responsibility that comes with it. That's a universal story. The fact that she's female and first generation American, continuously struggling with the values and authority of her parents, gives the story extra nuance, but it's a universal human story."

That's what really makes this new `Ms. Marvel' story so compelling - that Kamala is a young woman who is going to be coming into great power and great responsibility, while also living through the struggles, firsts and wonders of being a sixteen-year-old girl. Well, that's just marvellous.

Even better is that this `Ms. Marvel' series is a self-aware one. Kamala is a fan of comics - she idolizes the fictional heroes Iron Man, Captain America and Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) - and this comes to fruition in a rather funny, if bizarre-o, scene in the first `Ms. Marvel' issue, when Kamala is visited by her comic book idols.

There's still plenty of fleshing-out that needs to happen in upcoming issues (2 of which I've pre-ordered already) particularly with secondary characters. But readers are given a tantalizing cursory glance at a boy called Bruno who has a crush on Kamala, while she is totally oblivious. And her friend Kiki who insists on now being called Nakia and whose father hopes her wearing a headscarf is "just a phase". Then there's Kamala's brother, Aamir, whose commitment to Allah their father thinks is a poor excuse to live at home and not get a job. Kamala's family and friendship circles are truly interesting and, superhero antics aside, this alone will provide plenty of tension for young Kamala and help in creating a heroine of true emotional depth and conflicting loyalties.

I only had one complaint about my `Ms Marvel' comic - and that was the Marvel foldout adverts throughout the issue. They're just really annoying ... that is all.

Kamala Khan was a much-needed addition to the Marvel superhero family. But she's no token Muslim female for the sake of the publisher's new gender diversity campaign. With author G. Willow Wilson and editor Sana Amanat directing this new series, Kamala Khan is a fascinating hero in her own right; less for her religious leanings and more for simply being a young woman who is growing up in modern America, who is about to be imbued with incomprehensible power and responsibility. Basically, she's like every other superhero and this first issue is probably like many Marvel origin stories ... that she's a girl and Muslim both means everything and nothing, but for what it's worth I'm hooked.
Great start to an amazingly well thought out character! Shipping was quick, got it 5 days sinner than expected
An awesome read and worth it. Can't see where they take this story.
