Don't really Care about the Civil War aspect (personally not into comics enough to be excited about comic character crossover) but still love Kamala's story line. Great addition of family back story flashbacks. such relevant and necessary themes for teen readers.
Story
I ended up liking this a lot more than I expected. I don't follow Marvel comics anymore. This series is my only exception. So I was a bit nervous that this volume would be hard to follow due to a bunch of Civil War II stuff.
I'm happy to report that wasn't the case. I'm sure there is some nuances that were lost on me, but most of the story was small. I like that. I feel like especially with all the Marvel Universe movies going on, everything is such huge stakes all the time.
Kamala has a lot to deal with, especially being so young yet herself. But much of this story isn't the end of world, it's pretty self-contained to Jersey City.
I like how the story arc fit the Civil War theme but didn't rely too much on other Marvel heroes to drive the plot.
My favorite part of this volume was probably the science fair issue. It doesn't hurt that Miles Morales shows up. It has me a bit tempted to give his spider-man series a shot one of these days.
Overall I thought this was another solid volume that kept itself grounded despite the larger Civil War II arc I'm sure was forced on them by Marvel.
Artwork
The art is always all over the place. This volume lists 3 artists, including the original artist Adrian Alphona. I thought it was all pretty good, and I must say that I didn't really notice the change from volume to volume. It probably helps that it's had the same colorist.
Glad Hijinx kept it real when he referenced Minority Report. Will probably never not love Kamala.
