Oct 14, 2017While there doesn't seem much in the way of story (yet), MS. MARVEL #23 is a nice cool-down from the previous issues of high-stakes and doom. Read Full Review

Oct 16, 2017G. Willow Wilson continues to keep Ms. Marvel in her own self-contained story within the Marvel Universe with this issue. This arc is a palette cleanser after what happened in the previous arc and I do find Kamala struggling internally with being Ms. Marvel interesting, but her jealousy over Red Dagger's quick popularity to be way over the top. If you enjoy the usual silliness of Ms. Marvel filler issues, you'll enjoy this one, especially with beautiful art from Olortegui to show it. Read Full Review

Wow! I unexpectedly loved this issue. I missed the previous artist for a few pages, but the anime-like style quickly won me over. The new addition is very exciting, and the family moments had a lot of heart.

The premise behind this issue made me smile. The idea that a returning Red Dagger and Ms Marvel were helping a runaway train going twenty-five miles per hour is amusing to me. There was also some other humor that worked for me. Tying in the city to Kamala's story the city gets excited when a new hero arrives. She begins to believe that she is being forgotten. It is that Toy Story like theme of fearing you are being replaced by someone new. It sets up an interesting premise and expands on a character we only knew briefly with Red Dagger. There is also a fun old school cliffhanger to the issue. This does not look to be a major story arc that will touch on strong subjects so could be forgettable, but could be a fun small arc. The art was enjoy more

Red Dagger relocates to New Jersey just in time to get thrown into a runaway train adventure with Ms. Marvel. The fact that she calls it "my whole life in one garbage metaphor" *mostly* makes up for its contrivance. It's just an excuse to do character work, but the character work is great, as are Diego Olortegui's visuals. Still, the discovery toward the end that this little train situation is going to push on into another issue was slightly disheartening. The opportunity to learn more about the rather delicate state of Kamala's head will more than make up for another serving of NJT-based drama, though.
