Ms Marvel has decided to fight crime, but she needs to figure out exactly HOW she'd do it.
Read June 2015.
Ms Marvel comes more fully into her powers in this arc, fights the evil Inventor with the help of a grumpy and not-currently-regenerating ally, and is discovered by the other Inhumans (leading to an extended set of scenes with the always lovely Lockjaw).
Excellent arc, and I love the balance between the mundane and the fantastic that is struck here. The lack of earth-shattering consequences generally feels perfect for this debut superhero and her developing sense of morality. I love that she has the opportunity to have mentors now, and people to bounce ideas off of and to have minor conflicts with. I also love that she's an unapologetic fangirl and acts out like a pretty typical teenage girl, even in bizarro circumstances.
Still a pleasure to read, and I would LOVE to see this as a TV series. Just saying.
