Ms. Marvel Vol. 6: Civil War II, by G. Willow Wilson
5.0
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.
