I'm going to pretend I haven't seen/read the comments and reviews that basically boil down to "a Muslim American can't be a superhero, and because this story is about a Muslim American teen, it's not really a superhero book". Despite the fact that in many ways, this is Spider-man: family issues, school issues, identity issues, except it happens to be a female character who also happens to be a person of colour and a Muslim. There is nothing in the set of issues here that wouldn't be right atThis review contains *spoilers*.Ms. Marvel follows Kamala Khan, a Muslim girl from Jersey City who is suddenly empowered with extraordinary gifts. When a strange mist descends and morphs Kamala into a shape-shifting superhuman... fitting in is the least of her problems. Ms. Marvel also features religion, which, thank you. I love seeing positive portrayals of any religion. And the honest exploration of accepting and loving oneself made my heart sing. This story is a definite win for me.And
[3.5 Stars] I'm conflicted about this graphic novel, and I think the reason for that is because I'm reading this from the perspective of a twenty-something Muslim Pakistani American. Don't get me wrong, I like how diverse this graphic novel is and having a Muslim super hero is super kickass, but there were certain things in the graphic novel that just made me feel a little strange. For example, I felt that many of the Muslim characters in this graphic novel were based off of stereotypes
WrensReads Review:This was amazingly amazing. I love that it was about a Muslim girl and about believing in yourself and accepting you and your own set of abilities. Kamala Khan wants to be Captain Marvel, but Captain Marvel gives her something else: something unique and purely her. Well, after a few hiccups, she kind-of, sort-of, maaaaaybe gets the hang of the gift handed to her... which, honestly was a little confusing to me, but hey, is that really what matters?Anyway, I like that we got to
This was a fun start to the reboot and I'm looking forward to upcoming volumes. WHAT I LOVED: - Pakistani American Muslim heroine! Can we get a hell yes for diversity? - plethora of side characters that I'm looking forward to getting developed more in the future (Bruno is adorable, btw) - Loved the art and the colors used - Coming of age and superhero story combined WHAT I DISLIKED: - I found her powers and how she got them kind of confusing. I hope that is explained in the future - as other
Really glad that this book exists.
