I was so scared for this comic. I love Kamala so much and I was afraid they were attempting to make her more like she is in the MCU when they killed her earlier this year. But now that she’s been back for a handful of months it’s safe to say that Kamala Khan is still just as amazing as she’s always been. Iman Vellani stepped into the role and brought her to life in the MCU in the best way possible and now she leads the creative team for Kamala’s first solo series in some time now as she steps into her new role as an X-Man. With the same powers and the same charisma and humor she leaps out into this new world with a new kick ass costume and still stands for everything she used to. I can’t wait to see what they do with her next as the Fall of X continues. I would love to see these mutant powers of hers but if it comes at the cost of her Inhuman powers then maybe not.

actors who wrote actually good comics about their characters this year
while i disagree with A LOT of whats happened to ms. marvel recently (my creds: shes my third most read character of all time) this series set up her future really well in a way that i think is very true to her character and history

Ms Marvel actress Iman Vellani writes with obvious enthusiasm, and the character's personality shines. This might have been a great entry point for new readers except that the story is a little too bogged down in recent X-Men continuity, which seems determined to retread the same old "hated and feared" thing without really doing anything new with it.

Fantastic debut from Iman Vellani! Her love for the character shines through and she’s got a real handle on layered storytelling. The story fits perfectly into the established universe, yet never succumbs to the convoluted machinations of the X-universe.
My only critique us that we didn’t get to see Kamala interact with other heroes, but considering the circumstances she’s living through, it’s understandable.
I’m also relieved that Marvel isn’t obsessed with uncovering Kamala’s mutant powers. She’s fine as is, and she’s got a new cause to fight. That’s all we need from her.
I love the intersections that Ms Marvel now inhabits. It makes her an even more crucial hero in the Marvel universe. Hope she gets more adventures.

Great story and awesome comic debut for Iman Vellani. I hope she and Sabir Pirzada do more stories. I’m not the biggest Ms. Marvel fan, but I’ve been following the X-Men comics and this ties into the Fall of X event while establishing a new status quo for Kamala Khan.
I read this issue to issue as it came out and initially was skeptical. Having the most prominent Inhuman character of the past 10 years suddenly become a mutant could easily have been badly executed, but this story was really well done. Having Kamala accept all parts of herself whether mutant, Inhuman, Avenger, Champion, X-Man, Muslim American, etc was really heartwarming and inspiring. Highly recommend.

Fun little story. They've done a decent job of transitioning Kamala into her new mutant identity.

This is a solid Ms. Marvel story, probably the best arc since G. Willow Wilson was writing the series. I'm excited to see what will happen in the next four issue miniseries (Ms. Marvel Mutant Menace), but at the same time I wish that Marvel would just commit to their female heroes and give them a longer miniseries, a maxiseries, or *gasp* maybe even an ongoing series. Is that so impossible? Not just a problem with Ms. Marvel, but also with Silk and a couple of other heroes I can't name off the top of my head.

Haters gonna hate, hate, hate. Potatoes gonna po- tate, tate, tate. I thought if was great. Iman Vellani for sure cares about the character she plays in the MCU and it was cool to see her write the character. She respected the original comics, while blending the retcon. Ms Marvel has even matured a little bit. I think we are close to seeing Kamala grow into an adult. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Ms. Marvel is back! As a big fan of the G. Willow Wilson run, I knew I'd want to pick up this run. At first I was nervous about how this mini series would be since I didn't care for the Dark Web run but Iman Vellani is brilliant and deserves to have an ongoing series!

This was actually a pretty fun read, and yeah a decent debut for Iman as a writer and I am so excited to see what she writes next, like I know her writing is only gonna improve with time and she is so young and the fact she wrote this too is awesome!
Here we have Kamala being confounded by nightmares and struggling to make sense of it while also dealing with her death and being resurrected as a mutant and what that leads to, fighting Orchis and its a lot to take on as a teenager and we see her balancing these things and then finding there maybe ORCHIS presence at her school, so dealing with that and how it all comes together while showing a journey for Kamala as she learns to accept her changing reality and accept her mutant-side and getting help from Bruno especially and mutants around her!
It was a good story overall with themes and ideas but it still feels cluttered for lack of a better word, and it could have used a couple of more issues to flesh out the villain a bit more, like its orchis yeah, but the scientist Dr Niktika Gaiha, she could be a cool threat to Kamala and like maybe they will explore her character in future stories, but still had they shown it here and given a bit more scenes to the fight, it would have been even better.
But still decent story, with X-Men cameos here and there and I just love the way Iman writes Emma, she is just savage in the most Emma way possible, and she gets the character so well and then there is the ending which is just awesome! But yeah lots for Kamala but a good journey for her and the themes set up like a lot more to be explored which like I said we will get in future volumes! So definitely read this and try for yourselves!

Talk about an identity crisis...
Kamala Khan has been through the wringer. She's been outlawed, locked up, idolized, and KILLED. That's all past her now, though. She was killed in the pages of 'Spider-Man', but Marvel had a golden ticket for her. The X-Men resurrection protocols that were once used on humans (Captain America?) were used on the Inhuman, Ms. Marvel.
Just in time...
for the Hellfire Gala disaster!
Now, she's trying to live her best life and starting out at college in NY. No more Jersey for that girl. With the help of Shadowcat, Sync, Talon, and Rasputin (where else would she go?) they're trying to get more data about the Orchis research on campus. If they're lucky, Kamala can hide in plain sight. Facial recognition programs can't match her, and it turns out that after her resurrection, her mutant abilities haven't manifested yet. She's technically an Inhuman...mutant?
---------
This was better than I expected. Maybe, with this miniseries they can age up Kamala and she'll get past the teen superhero business. It helps that the co writer of this series was the star of the MCU, 'Ms. Marvel' TV show. She does a few subtle things to sync the two things up.

Ms. Marvel writes Ms. Marvel! Iman Vellani teams with Dark Web: Ms. Marvel writer Sabir Pirzada to bring Kamala into the Fall Of X. A summer school program puts Ms. Marvel on Orchis' radar, and there's only so long Kamala can sit on the sidelines while her friends get attacked. But there's also the matter of some very strange dreams she's been having...
"Celebrity writes comic" isn't news at this point, but you can feel that Vellani really cares about the character she portrays. She makes sure that we know this isn't an excuse to make Kamala more like her MCU-self, and she's still firmly the character we all fell in love with. The whole Inhuman/Mutant thing is handled as best it can be, and this feels like both a Ms. Marvel book and an X-Men book, so I'd say the brief was well and truly fulfilled.
Carlos Gomez is on art, who drew the Rogue & Gambit book most recently I believe - looks nice, nothing major to report on that front.

Written by Ms. Marvel herself from the MCU and one of the writers on the show. It's actually not bad. Kamala heads to the ESU campus for a summer program. She's still dealing with finding out she's a mutant while Orchis is on the prowl for mutants, having established a secret base under the campus. The villains are a bit weak and the story suffers some from taking her away from her family and friends in Jersey City which is a large part of making the character adorable. At least Bruno tags along to help Kamala out. An actual villain other than a mad scientist would help for the next mini.

Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant volume feels like a missed opportunity for the character but it still manages to tell an engaging story. This is a good jumping on point for the character with this being Vellani's first comic writing experience is taking us down an intense path into what is next for Ms. Marvel. A fun start to Kamala's new mutant life and another fun Ms. Marvel story. Now it'll be interesting to see what direction Kamala goes as she gains more experience of what being a mutant and X-Men is.

Iman Vellani’s debut entry into the Krakoa age picks up where Hellfire Gala: Fall of X lets off. What’s here is a highly competent start but too short to really stand on its own as a testament to the character’s role in the larger Fall of X events. I suspect the follow-up series will further elaborate on whether this will become a title people read as a character study or as a compulsory read to understand what lies in the X-Men’s future.

I’m not happy about the journey Ms. Marvel took to get thrown in with the X-men. My brain can’t quite wrap my head around bringing an inhuman and a mutant at the same time. Regardless of the wonky plot arc, this was a decent debut of Imani Vellani writing Ms. Marvel. The dialogue and narration is on par with the character and her enthusiasm for Ms. Marvel really shines. I’m curious to see where this new story arc goes from here.

This was a medium-fun adventure. Most of the tropes are well-worn, the art was not my favorite, and the "here's what I learned today" was kind of out of nowhere. That being said, the dialogue was good, the immersion was good, and I have never NOT liked Kamala.
I'm overjoyed that Iman Vellani got to write her. The book didn't blow me away, but it was fine.
