Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal

For her 15th birthday, I got my niece a small selection of volume 1s just to introduce her to comics. As a small black girl, she'd always just assumed that there was nothing in the world of comics for her. Now she believes differently and is really excited to follow this character and further explore other titles.

Growing up, I have always been a huge marvel fan. I have watched so many movies and tv shows and invested in merchandise... But I was always too scared to get into the comics - I was scared to spend money on it and worried I wouldn’t like them for whatever reason. But this was the first marvel comic I read and wow did I fall in love. Kamala is an amazing character and I can’t wait to read more about her. I found out about her from the Avengers game and loved her character so decided to invest in her comic series. It’s a great story and definitely a great beginning into possibly a new favourite marvel character of mine! I am so glad I bought this and I definitely 1000% will be buying more marvel comics after this (I really really want miles and gwen comics because they are my ultimate favourite characters!!)The quality of this product is great! It came in perfect brand new condition!! Definitely recommend purchasing!!

I love playing as Ms Marvel in MUA3 on switch and I wanted to learn more about her. It's a well written story and Kamala is such a lovable character already, 1 issue in. She's direct and honest about the world we live in and the struggles teenage-girls, especially ethnic minority teenagers, face in the 21st century. We learn about her family, and her background and we gain an insight into her thoughts and feelings as she takes on the Ms. Marvel mantle. She reflects on what she's been taught from her Pakistani heritage, quoting the Koran, to motivate her into her superheroship. I loved the part where she has a semi-religious experience in her terrigenesis and Captain Marvel speaks to her in Urdu! It's funny, witty and heart-warming. I really recommend this comic.

This is a really great volume. Kamala Khan is a super nerd who gets to become the hero she always geeked out over. This is a fresh take on the humble origins story of any hero, mixing it in with the experience of a second generation kid struggling to find her place in a very white america. The standard superhero bits are great and Kamala is such a charming character, I also love the family scenes in it, they are heart warming and at times hilarious and give an interesting window into the life of an immigrant family in the states. BUY THIS COMIC!!!

Bought as a gift for fourteen year old but read to check and glad I did. Excellent subject matter.
