Ms Marvel, Volume 1: No Normal

Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel

Title: Ms Marvel, Vol.1: No Normal
Author: G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona (Artist)
Genre/ issues: Graphic novels. Comics. Superheros. Culture, religion and identity.

“Kamala Khan is an ordinary girl from Jersey City — until she’s suddenly empowered with extraordinary gifts. But who truly is the new Ms. Marvel? Teenager? Muslim? Inhuman? Find out as she takes the Marvel Universe by storm! When Kamala discovers the dangers of her newfound powers, she unlocks a secret behind them, as well. Is Kamala ready to wield these immense new gifts? Or will the weight of the legacy before her be too much to bear? Kamala has no idea, either. But she’s comin’ for you, Jersey!”

When I said I wanted to get back into reading comics, this was on my list, and I was thrilled to open the mail this week to discover that Jacob had lent me his copy! I LOVED this. Smart, funny, beautiful artwork and some really thoughtful reflections on religion, identity, individuality and the way we value people in society. Definitely getting some more Ms. Marvel in my life!

About the Author

She/her. On Whadjuk Noongar land. NSWPRC Officer, Teacher Librarian, English teacher and social media advocate. I've been teaching in Western Sydney for my entire teaching career, and love my job more than I love Neil Gaiman. (That's a lot, in case you're wondering!) I stalk authors (but always politely), fangirl over books, and drink coffee. And one of my guilty prides about my children is that they all have favourite authors. All opinions are my own.
