Ms. Marvel has a doppelganger - which is pretty weird. It turns out she's a teenage girl named Qarin, and she has shapeshifting powers too. She's lost - like, from-another-universe lost - so, of course, Ms. Marvel takes her under her wing, which isn't so bad. What's less good is that Qarin has already figured out Kamala's secret identity, and she might just have darker plans in mind than trying to find her way home. Will Ms. Marvel's glitchy powers be enough to stop her?

Ahmed delivers again, continuing to make this new Ms. Marvel adventure a true triple threat. Read Full Review
Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit #3is a compelling issue that continues to put Kamala Khan through the stressful wringer. Ahmed writes an intriguing mystery, Genelot's art is solid and Farrell's colors are rich and varied, and Caramagna as always has great lettering. It's an intriguing mystery that's unfolding for our young polymorph hero, and I can't wait to see where it goes next. Read Full Review
The story and writing are both flawed. Not fatally, but in a nasty Catch-22 way; I wish one was stronger to make up for the weakness of the other.
Example of the symbiotic flaw situation: The last-page revelations (story) aren't particularly exciting, and their impact is reduced by being so rushed (writing).
The script does have merit, though. The articulation of Kamala's jealousy and suspicion is terrific.
And the art remains delightful. It establishes the perfect tone for the story.
Young Wasp would be a great guest star. I hope she gets to do more than cameo in the future.
This was a slog for me to get through. I don't mind the writing, but I'm just having trouble staying engaged with this series.
