In all, The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14: OUTLAWED is an incredible read. Despite the premise, there is a lot of action here to take in as we go on this dream journey with our hero. With overall excellent and emotive writing from Ahmed, incredible pictures by the art team, and an interestingly unique premise, it is the start to perhaps Kamala's most daunting challenge yet.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14 (Ahmed, Jung, Vlasco, & Herring) provides a good diving-in point for new readers or a refresher for returning fans to prepare them for the upcoming Outlawed event. Read Full Review
In the big-picture view, Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14 is a pretty small step. It's just the necessary story of Kamala fighting her way out of the coma that triggered the Outlawed event. But thanks to good art and tremendously insightful writing, this character study is the furthest thing in the world from disappointing. Read Full Review
It's all about playing catch-up, but this issue of Ms. Marvel does so in a way that's both interesting and exciting, using the imagination to set up the story to come. Read Full Review
"The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14" is a quietly triumphant, welcome return for Marvel's most up and coming hero Read Full Review
The Outlawed story continues here, and Saladin Ahmed does a good job of moving the story forward while giving fans of Ms. Marvel an issue that still centers on what makes the character great. I still am not a fan of Outlawed, but I am glad to have one of my favorite heroes back. Read Full Review
Because so much of this issue's story is internal and limited, the onus is on artist Minkyu Jung to depict Saladin Ahmed's script in a visually interesting way, which he handily succeeds at doing. Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14 gives him an opportunity to draw a bit more surreally than Kamala's monthly adventures tend to do, which is a welcome deviation from the norm, but it's the aforementioned character moments that really sell the gravity of the situation.

Saladin Ahmed is a much more gifted writer than anything he is giving us on his Ms Marvel run. The writer and character simply are not a good fit. Kamala is an incredibly original superhero in the Marvel universe, bringing a unique perspective, family, friendships and incredible positivity. Unfortunately all of this feels increasingly forgotten in a comic drowning in anxieties rather than rising above them as the story claims to do. Read Full Review
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #14 does nothing new or special with the "trapped in a coma" plot, instead relying on clichs and overly dramatic moments which don't land particularly well. Read Full Review
I thought this was an extremely well done issue. Not only as a recap but as a true look at Kamala as a character.
Kamala fights her way through some meaningful dreams to regain consciousness and face the new reality of Outlawed. It's an introspective interlude without a lot of plot movement, but the inward dive is way too deep and compelling to dismiss this as a "nothing happens" comic. This is insightful, well-written, and strongly-illustrated. Not quite great -- but very, very good.
I’ll admit that my ratings have somewhat an arbitrary nature. I don’t use a scale but rather pick a number that represents how I feel when finishing reading. That number is 8. Which is good. I’ll freely give a 10 to anything that gets me excited for what comes next or makes me want to reread immediately after. Neither of those were true for this comic. It was however, a good read from what I’ve come to expect from a Ms. Marvel comic. Supporting cast all touched on and Kamala’s thoughts and reactions coming out. No action but perfectly fine with introspective issues. I don’t like forced action just to put in some action each issue so thankfully that wasn’t here.
I didn’t really like how Kamala treated Miles. That more

This definitely should've come out sooner. This whole Outlawed status quo was shredded by the pandemic. This was a pretty good issue, despite how outdated it feels. I liked Kamala struggling a bit. I'm not sure I'm interested in this status quo yet. We'll see.
This wasn’t bad, but I definitely also felt that it was a little bit paint-by-numbers struggle, if that makes sense? I like the part where she melted her parents though.
