• Keep your friends close and your enemies closer - a familiar adage for a veteran hero like Ms. Marvel.
• But when Kamala discovers that one of her old friends has joined forces with her enemies, things get a LOT more complicated...
Rated T+
We were due for a real banger in this series and per usual Ms. MArvel came through with the launch codes. Read Full Review
Kamala Khan continues her fight against injustice, even if the culprit is her own city. With excellent characterization and impressive artwork, this is yet another stellar issue in the MS. MARVEL series. Read Full Review
In the end, there is a lot to love in this issue, but it would not be new reader friendly. First of all, the recap is a hard to read. The color matches the background far too closely and the letters needed to be farther apart with the font size being that small. And second, even though it is a smaller run, so much has happened to build to this point and that background information is important to the story as a whole. That said, I highly recommend picking up the whole run. The only way we are going to get through this is to work together like a family and Mis. Marvel provides a template for doing just that.

Wilson ups the stakes of her culture war storyline in ways I did not see coming, but also enrich the story even more. This comic is dealing well with complicated issues. Read Full Review
G. Willow Wilson continues to make every new installment of "Mecca" more personal for Kamala, while also building supporting cast members Aamir and Josh. Ms. Marvel #21 is not only action packed, but an emotional roller coaster as Kamala is forced to break down the barriers she has created to keep her superheroic identity a secret. Read Full Review
Good art. Good writing. Good comics. While the majority of the Marvel Universe is dealing with Secret Empire, a huge event that is about fascism taking over America, turning concentration camps into reality, and indiscriminate chaos, Ms. Marvel - a series decidedly not tied-in to Secret Empire - is the one with the most to say about the realities of fascism in America.

This is a really strong issue. Wilson knows how to write a book that is topical but still believable. The characterisation here is excellent, and I found it quite moving.
G. Willow Wilson comes up with a clever analogue and tries to find common ground paralleling current tensions in American politics - a difficult task, executed very creatively. Her brother's character has gotten more of a spotlight of late and it works!
The identity of Discord is finally reveled. This is an issue that is heavy on the action which is an interesting change of pace. There is still some heart to the issue though. The art is great and very fitting. I really enjoyed the depictions of action during the chase scenes and the Mosque battle. A great chapter in the series.
Lot to unravel here, not exactly sure if I love it or don’t. I thought I knew who Discord really was so I was pleasantly surprised when I was proven wrong. The last page is great
Kamala unmasks Discord while powered prisoners take refuge in her local mosque. This issue serves quite well at moving the larger plot forward. There's some great action and great art. The character dynamics are a lot trickier, and G. Willow Wilson's script still shows some rough spots where past events and characterization have been hammered on to make them fit the arc's political themes. Though the attempt to explore tensions between civil rights and public safety is ambitious, it's not entirely successful. There's still quite a fascinating story going on behind the politics, so this is definitely a better-than-average book. It would need a bit more script polishing to be truly great.
