Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal

Superheroes aren't really my thing. My husband recently went to go watch the Avengers movie without me, because I don't care and I don't know who half the characters are anyway. So when this comic started throwing out superhero names and appearances like Captain Marvel and [insert other random superhero name I've already forgotten], I ... have no idea what to do with that.

But I think this one is good and important because of its inclusivity/portrayal of normal life when one is not the white Christian majority, rather than its superhero story. I think it probably could have thrown Captain Marvel out entirely along with most of the other superhero stuff, and I still would've liked Kamala and her friends and her discovery of her own superpowers and how that messes with her identity and sense of self. I liked the familial aspects, and the fact that Kamala is a teenage girl that doesn't have everything figured out, and that she makes mistakes, and that I learned more about Muslim faith than I knew before. (Though I wish her family had been a little more fleshed out, which might happen in future issues.) I enjoyed this a lot.
