Ms. Marvel, Vol. 5: Super Famous

Story
The story continues to delight me. I just really love Kamala's determination and geekiness. This is the only super hero comic I read these days, and for good reason. Ms. Wilson does such a good job to make her interesting, even though I've never been an Avenger (Or a teen-aged girl for that matter).

I still continue to believe that if I found myself suddenly with super powers I'd totally fanboy out upon meeting the others, or the idea of joining the avengers. It's an interesting development that plays an important part of the story, but this is still Ms. Marvel's story.

Some of the Avengers are there on the periphery, but what makes this story so enjoyable is just trying to see Kamala balance school, family, friends, and being a super hero. Super powers don't make life easier. If anything they probably make it way harder. Learning how to manage your time is something everyone has to learn. I'm still not the always the best at it, and I don't have to fit in saving New Jersey into my schedule.

We also get to meet two great new characters, Mike & sadly I'm blanking on the name of the other. She's a love interest for Kamala's brother. Both look to be great additions, and I'm hoping we see more of them in the next volume. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Another great volume.

Artwork
I really enjoy the artwork. I'm glad things have settled down and we're back to Adrian Alphona on a regular basis (at least I believe so). I'm always bad at this part of my reviews, maybe I should drop it except when I find the art bad or something. Needless to say, I think it adds something to Ms. Wilson's narrative to have it be in graphic form.

I don't read a lot of comics, but this is a good series. This one is really about the balance between calling and family and friends. There is always some big thing going on that needs her attention. But the stress of constant super hero work, school and everything else it too much.
