Ms. Marvel (2014-2015) #1

Story
This series has been a bit uneven. Kamala is a great character, and there is some good humor here, but the stories haven't always been that interesting. I want a bigger story, not a series of one-offs or lame villains.

The first issue has Loki showing up. I'm not really sure why. The whole story seemed pointless. I will say the “hipster viking” comment was great though.

Thankfully the rest of this issue seems to be building on the Inhuman plotline introduced in the last volume. I hope future volumes focus on that because it's been a lot more interesting than the other random issues.

And while it was a one-off, I enjoyed the bonus S.H.I.E.L.D. issue. I'm really enjoying the TV show and it was cool to see Kamala work with Coulson and Jemma.

Artwork
What is going on here? Mark Waid & Takeshi Miyazawa make the 3rd and 4th artist this series has had in 15 issues. The art has all been pretty good, but how about some consistency? It looks like volume 4 returns to the original artist Adrian Alphona. So maybe the rest were just filling in for some reason? I hope so.
