Ms. Marvel (2014) #11

It never feels overwrought. One of Kamalas greatest strengths as a character is that she can be idealistic without being overly nave, heroic without losing her smarts, intelligent without being a know it all. Shes flawed, but her finding strength and learning through her flaws is what makes her so compelling. Towards the end of the issue, she learns not all battles can be faced down by yourself, and that it is sometimes very necessary, and seeing her arrive at this realization is deeply satisfying, not because we want her to admit a mistake, but purely that shes learned from them and grew as a character. Real-time and well-paced character development can sometimes be something writers miss, but Wilson handles her creations path with aplomb. Adrian Alphonas art continues to delight, even if the colors are somewhat more muted this time around. His creative use of Kamalas stretch powers always manage to stay on the right side of cartoonish.
