I 100% loved the first half of this book. The art, the story, everything was firing on all cylinders as Peter Parker and Kamala Khan switch minds and team up to reverse it. Funny and heartfelt.
The 2nd story, with Kamala Khan and Captain Marvel was also fun but the art was way off. Like Kamala was red in some shots. Not sure of it was a misprint issue or not.

I love Kamala Khan, and this volume collects two stories where she teams up with other Marvel heroes. The first one is a body-swap caper with Spider-Man, which was a lot of fun. The second was a moral tale about heritage, which wasn't as ham-fisted as it sounds, but the art didn't do it for me and I didn't enjoy the story as much as a result. Overall, probably one to check out if you're a Ms. Marvel fan, but not essential reading.

So disappointed in this. All these great ingredients that just don’t taste good together.

Ms. Marvel, one my favorites of the new batch of heroes to come from Marvel. And the legacy of Marvel Team-Up, one of my all-time favorite books as a kid. ([b:Marvel Team-Up (1972-1985) #68|35154968|Marvel Team-Up (1972-1985) #68|Chris Claremont|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1494952334l/35154968._SY75_.jpg|56481601] is easily in my top five favorite single issues ever.) Yet this falls flat.
The forced humor and misplaced, unfunny jokes. Spider-Man behaving out of character. Capt. Marvel being altogether uncool. Trying to channel The Big Lebowski when resurrecting yet another character who’s been dead for decades. The tired Freaky Friday body-swap plot, which has been so well mined that you really need to dig to find something new and amusing to say. (The only recent decent version of this was when Spider-Man and Wolverine swapped bodies in Ultimate Spider-Man, and that had to be a good 15 years ago.) Another issue of Team-Up back in the day had Carol (still as Ms. Marvel) teaming up with Spidey to fight the Super-Skrull, and she was an absolute hardcase badass. There’s plenty of room for her to be lighthearted and fun, but this attempt just didn’t work for me.

I accidentally deleted my review but I’ll hit the main points again.
Spider-Man Crossover was fine.
They seemed a bit out of character especially with how fast they violated mask boundaries
I hate “most characters forget the story” endings with a passion so that kinda ruined it for me.
The stuff that can’t be covered up by just not remember like the dr and the job interview will bug me but I don’t like the story enough to care that much.
Captain marvel story was a bit better
Love the new Ms Marvel costume but it’s drawn weird in this.
Brought in relevant lore old and new and did enough with it for this type of story.
I don’t know how to feel about the message being applied to the 616 Kree as I feel like the strayed a little to close to comparing it to a human situation and the Kree have way to much baggage for that to feel fully appropriate to me.
I made more points but I no longer remember what they were.

"Se eu fosse você" com a Kamala e o Peter foi a melhor história desse volume.

The first half of this was a body-swap comedy starring Kamala and Peter Parker and was so, so much fun. These characters bounce off one another very well and perfectly foil one another. The second half, however, is a different story where Kamala teams with Carol Danvers and faces off against the Kree and Star-Force. This story just didn't work as well for me.
