Customer Reviews

I loved it!

I just started reading comics, and Ms. Marvel is really great! I loved reading Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1. If you want to read about a female superhero then I highly suggest you start reading Ms. Marvel. You won't be dissapointed.

An enjoyable (if imperfect) read

I find that I both agree and disagree with some of the other reviewers of this book. First of all, I will say that the art is excellent, and some great visual devices are employed. I liked several of the page layouts as well--they caught the eye and conveyed the story in a very fluid way. The writing is, by and large, quite good. I found that there were several surprising moments when I thought the writer had disappointed me, but then surprised me by turning it around. The most common complaint I've read is that Ms. Marvel herself is a bit too self-doubting and sometimes misplaces her concern. I think this is a valid concern, but at the same time I feel that this is a question of style and preference. I liked the concept of a good super-hero trying to become a great super-hero. I personally felt like her self-doubt makes her interesting and gives a lot of room for character depth and development. If you prefer your super-heroes to be strong and confident at all times, then you might not like this aspect of her storyline here, but I found it very enjoyable. My only disappointment was the end of the book. I felt that in the final two chapters the story got a bit confusing. Certainly some things could have been made a little clearer. All in all, however, it's a good introduction to her new storyline with wonderful art. I felt the book was well worth the price.

Best of the Best

If you have followed Ms. Marvel you will understand the story behind this comic. If not go brush up on it. The best of the best is a great series i recomend this for anyone. This is starting to show the true power behind MS. Marvel since Binary. Have fun and this is great for your collection. Beautiful pictures and a stop and go story line. It taps into the power that Ms. Marvel actualy has!!!!

Worth the read

I never knew too much about Ms. Marvel so I didn't really know what to expect. After reading this book I now know her personality a whole lot better. The author does a good job of filling you in on her mental state of mind, but lacks on delving into the recent past,(House of M) which I personally do not know too much about. Even so, I really enjoyed this book and am now a Ms. Marvel fan.
