Review: Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I will admit I’ve not read a lot of comics before but I’m trying to change that. I did enjoy this one though.
Kamala is likeable, down to earth and a funny character. The book looks at Kamala trying to find a balance in life between being the person her family want her to be and the person that with the help of her friends and her new superpowers she is slowly becoming. It’s a book about friendship and self-love and self-growth as much as it is about superpowers. It finds a nice balance between sharing what Kamala’s life is like with her strict Muslim family without feeling like the religion is being shoved down the reader’s throat. The book has a good balance of serious moments and light-hearted humour. It could have done with more evil fighting for sure but I think for a first volume it was a great start.
