The adventures of the new Ms. Marvel continue. Last volume she went up against an all-new villain called The Inventor. Well, he's still on the loose and he's more determined than ever to put Jersey City's new guardian on ice! With an assortment of dangerous drones and crazy robots, Kamala Kahn and her friends find themselves targets everywhere they go. Things are going to get even more deadly when Kahn's powers start going wonky.
In the meantime, Kamala gets some sage advice from one of her mosque leaders to find a mentor. This leads the young heroine to team-up with the least kid-friendly mutant of them all- WOLVERINE! Plus, Ms. Marvel learns of her Inhuman origins in when she becomes the proud owner of Lockjaw?!
The combined team of writer G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona, and Jacob Wyatt continues to do a superior job in this exciting new series. The dialogue is hip and fresh and funny. The plots are original and exciting. But the art, while exciting and at times dynamic, is all over the place. Ms. Marvel has the ability to change shape so when she has giant hands or an oversized foot, I overlook it. But there are times where Kamala looks more like a muppet than a superhero.
Like I said, I'd excuse that type of styling if it was during a battle or something heroic. But, Kamila usually appears to look like a long lost cousin of Bert & Ernie when she drawn from a distance, doing nothing more than standing in line or drinking a soda. Are we to just assume her genetic structure is in a constant state of morphic flux or do the artists just 'phone it in' during these scenes hoping viewers like me won't notice?
Consider this observation that only thing keeping this volume from achieving perfection.
Worth Consuming
