Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson
4.0
I went into this preparing to be Educated and Quotiented about Diversity and Respect and Multiculturalism because The Message is Important. And after about 10 pages just hearted the crap out of Kamala Khan. I wasn't certain about the whole Give It Up, Carol aspect, but if "reboot" is what they want to say and Iron Man is down, I will go with it. It also doesn't hurt that Kamala is a fangirl after my own heart.
The book is funny-- sometimes witty, sometimes cheesy. It's a great deal of backstory and characterization. There's no real big bad, but a good bit of set up for the big bad to come. This came highly recommended. And I will certainly pay that recommendation forward. Kamala Khan is a normal girl, with strictly religious parents, who just wants more likes on her fanfic, to get to go to parties, and maybe to talk to some boys. But right now she's got to embiggen her fists and smash some justice up in Jersey City. Yes!
