This is actually a 4.5, but no half stars on here yet.
This was such an excellent volume because it focused so much on Ms. Marvel's support community. We got to see what makes these supporting characters so good. I also love the teen drama elements that are present, but not overbearing.
So, why the half star deduction? The art across issues wasn't as cohesive as I would have liked. Sure, that is being nitpicky, but I can't help it.

Ms. Marvel is missing, so all of her friends don the uniform to take down the bad guys. With a little Super help.
I love this crew. They give me all the warm fuzzies.

The most surprising and noteworthy thing about this volume of Ms. Marvel is that she's not in most of it. That's right - we don't even get to see periodic "Meanwhile..." pages illuminating what's keeping Kamala away and silent from all her friends and family and city - the title character of this book is completely absent from I think the first three issues here. In doing this, G. Willow Wilson and the fantastic illustrator Nico Leon are able to focus our attention on how Kamala Khan's supporting cast of friends acts in her absence. Without Ms. Marvel protecting Jersey City, there's a vacuum that needs to be filled, and they make that into a lovely story.
My favorite segments in this book were of Zoe trying to pretend to be Ms. Marvel and struggling with a realistic crush on the new Mean Girl in school, and the sweet conversation between Kamala and her Imam.

Very interesting how they would infuse Ms. Marvel mantel with the personality of each of Kamala's friends. This is part of the 'Legacy' imprint Marvel had done which is quite a good idea of how being a hero is not about the person but the essence of that being's presence. That it's the act itself and not her being necessarily present. And that saving the world, or Jersey City, doesn't need to be a one-person task. Even in being a superhero, your friends always have your back.

I think this is the only time I've actually enjoyed when a series pulls the protag off the front lines and they "disappear" temporarily. 10000/10, G. Willow Wilson.

I still love the art and characters...but it doesn't have Ms. Marvel in it for about half of the volume? It didn't quite feel the same without her, I'm glad to see the other characters shine a bit though. I was hoping to see Kamala on her own? Instead, she gets promptly put back in. It's still a good volume..and oh! hey! Bruno is back!

I love seeing Kamala's friends take on a more active role, as this series really has some strong secondary characters. The focus on Kamala's personal relationships is great. I'm swooning over Red Dagger and I'm happy she and Bruno get to reunite...but I hate that we just get quick rehashes of several old villains here. The action kind of sucked.

I'm slowly becoming more disenchanted with this series. Am I too old? Am I just annoyed with her teenaged antics? Am I the person yelling at kids to get off my lawn? Whatever the case, this ninth installment wasn't for me. Ms. Marvel wasn't even in the firs half! She peaced out, because life was stressing her out too much and her friends tried picking up the slack by pretending to be her, but that's kind of hard to do when you don't have superpowers. Also included are some "complicated" teenaged love triangles. Overall, it was just ok.
