OK, so second issue. The first one was promising, and this one lives up to that promise. Wilson delivers a good script, that has me thinking about the origin of Spider-Man, which is praise indeed, as that is just about as good as it gets for giving an explanation as to why someone would gain superhuman traits and go off to fight the good fight against evil. The art is consistently well made, personal and somewhat arty for a superhero comic from Marvel, but it’s the subtle, gorgeous coloring that really makes the art take off. I’m still not seeing what other see that makes them rave about this comic. It is certainly well made, and it deals with being a second-generation immigrant in the US in a good albeit somewhat predictable manner. Still, I’m most certainly not the target audience, being much too old and no longer a voracious reader of superhero comics. Again, I’ll put off a more final verdict until I’ve read a few more issues, to see where Wilson is taking this. I think my issue with this book is that the character isn't original or interesting. They made her an Arab-American but that really adds nothing to her. She's the same outcast dreamer who says witty things and becomes strong and empowered that we've seen a million times in various other art forms. It's just not compelling. And the way she first becomes Ms. Marvel is completely random and underwhelming. Bah!
Do You like book Ms. Marvel, #2: All Mankind (2014)?
I think, and really, really hope, that this series is going to be exceptional. Love it so far.
