HATED AND FEARED!
Ms. Marvel has officially come out to the world as a mutant and a member of the X-Men...and she's about to learn just how hard things can get for mutantkind! Kamala Khan is used to being a hometown hero - there's no way her community would turn on her just because she's a mutant, right? ...Right??
The writers of the hit MS. MARVEL: THE NEW MUTANT miniseries (including the MCU's own Kamala Khan, Iman Vellani) return to chronicle Ms. Marvel's next steps into exploring her mutant identity!
Rated T+
Ms. Marvel Mutant Menace #1 is an unbelievably fun comic with a lot of heart at the center of it. Kamala and her community grapple with the reveal that Ms. Marvel is a mutant and a member of the X-Men in a way that feels like an homage to Chris Claremonts early X-Men run. This comic breathes excitement and life into the Fall of X event! Read Full Review

There's a lot to love in Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace #1, especially if you're an X-Men and/or Ms. Marvel fan. Both camps should enjoy the supporting cast and inclusion of X-Men-related villains and heroes. You can't go wrong with a well-written Ms. Marvel, plus great Deadpool and new character sightings!

The ending comes a little out of nowhere in terms of setting the stage for a new mystery, but it's a solid outing thanks to the writers and artist Scott Godlewski. Read Full Review
Sabir Pirzada & Iman Vellani build upon their story from Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant, tackling the complexities of being a mutant in a way that feels far too relevant.
This isn’t just about Orchis or world-ending threats. This book punches you in the gut with the real-world issues marginalized communities face. From casual prejudice to outright fear-mongering, Pirzada & Vellani use Kamala’s experience as a Pakistani-American mutant to explore the anxieties and injustices that echo the struggles of so many today. It’s a powerful juxtaposition, placing the comic book world of mutants against the very real bigotry that exists in real-life. This isn’t the first time a member of the X-Men have dealt with social commentary, but more
Solid. A few scattered moments of choppiness and weak dialogue are not serious flaws. This feels like a proper Ms. Marvel book, noticeably stronger than the last mini.
Maybe it's just me, but I felt like this was a step back from the previous miniseries Vellani and Pirzada wrote. While I would say that I liked it overall, I also thought it felt a bit dense when it comes to the story and dialogue. Hopefully this miniseries improves in future issues, as I liked what we got in The New Mutant.
