A re-read. A little scattered, a little uneven. After watching the MCU show it was interesting to see the bits in India and Pakistan. This was an uncomfortable read. But stopping crime before it happens is an uncomfortable idea.
Not super surprising, but still good. This one is a downer. Both because it's not original, either with the Civil War plot or the Minority Report plot. And Kamala isn't being supported by her cast of friends. And she's not acting as smart as she actually is, which is kind of a Spider-Man thing. But it's still real. It still feels like Kamala is a real person in a real place.

Hello, unexpected philosophical discussion that popped up in this! Happily surprised, though saddened by the course this took. However, it’s refreshing to see that Kamala’s having to deal with very real consequences for her actions. Loved the final issue of her time in Karachi and the reminder of why she originally became a superhero. Continued my feelings of how this parallels with Peter Parker’s storyline.

Another excellent story! Captain Marvel wants Kamala to help with a team that can stop criminals before they commit the crime. She is excited for this except when it gets personal. Wonderful graphics and a good read.

A stream-of-consciousness, disjointed review/ramble:
Little Bruno and Kamala meeting for the first time in a flashback and bonding over Tween Mutant Samurai Turtles was magic.
Not sure how I feel about a couple of the illustrators -- I think Alphona is the best, but it was interesting seeing the other takes in #8-12.
I loved seeing Kamala stand up to Captain Marvel. That felt like such a graduation moment for Ms. Marvel -- realizing her idol isn't someone she's willing to blindly follow and standing her ground to protect her city. I hope there's resolution eventually, but it was powerful to see Ms. Marvel willing to cut ties with her hero to follow what's right.
The Miles Morales and Iron Man cameos were great, especially Iron Man's request for a gyro and fries.
The sprinkling of flashbacks to Kamala's grandmother, mother, and young Kamala made Volume 6 an absolute standout. Loved the juxtaposition of art with those too.
I'm extremely stressed about Bruno's health, and all the conflict between Kamala and Bruno in general, and I'm hoping some happier things come around in volume 7.
Solid read. I'm enjoying the show even more now that I've picked up the comics again to see all the little details they're pulling.

I loved every bit of the science fair issue, especially Skyshark!! The recurring flashbacks to previous generations of Kamala's family were great. They ground her story in the best way. The interactions with Captain Marvel are strange, but they are supposed to be. Kamala's story is a coming of age story as well as knowing herself in a world who always sees her as "other." At some point she had to cut ties with Captain Marvel. Basic Becky cracked me up. She thinks her cause is so righteous and she's willing to bulldoze other people's rights for the cause. Sound familiar?? Brilliant!! The tension with Bruno is huge, but it's the backstory that nearly had me in tears. Once again, the interactions with Iron Man are pitch perfect. And to cap the volume off, I loved every bit of Kamala's trip to Karachi.
This is my favorite volume by far.
