HATED AND FEARED!
Ms. Marvel has officially come out to the world as a mutant and a member of the X-Men...and she's about to learn just how hard things can get for mutantkind! Kamala Khan is used to being a hometown hero - there's no way her community would turn on her just because she's a mutant, right? ...Right??
The writers of the hit MS. MARVEL: THE NEW MUTANT miniseries (including the MCU's own Kamala Khan, Iman Vellani) return to chronicle Ms. Marvel's next steps into exploring her mutant identity!

Mar 06, 2024Ms. Marvel Mutant Menace #1 is an unbelievably fun comic with a lot of heart at the center of it. Kamala and her community grapple with the reveal that Ms. Marvel is a mutant and a member of the X-Men in a way that feels like an homage to Chris Claremonts early X-Men run. This comic breathes excitement and life into the Fall of X event! Read Full Review

Mar 10, 2024Sabir Pirzada & Iman Vellani build upon their story from Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant, tackling the complexities of being a mutant in a way that feels far too relevant.This isn’t just about Orchis or world-ending threats. This book punches you in the gut with the real-world issues marginalized communities face. From casual prejudice to outright fear-mongering, Pirzada & Vellani use Kamala’s experience as a Pakistani-American mutant to explore the anxieties and injustices that echo the struggles of so many today. It’s a powerful juxtaposition, placing the comic book world of mutants against the very real bigotry that exists in real-life. This isn’t the first time a member of the X-Men have dealt with social commentary, but here it feels raw and immediate. Honestly, on some level it feels like the only true X-Men book out there right now.True to the last mini, Kamala’s signature charm shines through. Her infectious enthusiasm and humor rise to the top even in the face of adversity. These t Read Full Review

Solid. A few scattered moments of choppiness and weak dialogue are not serious flaws. This feels like a proper Ms. Marvel book, noticeably stronger than the last mini.

It's a delicious overdose of status quo updates, continuity nods, and new and old antagonists. I can see how some readers could be exhausted or overwhelmed, but I love it. The writers pick up on all the nuance and depth Ms. Marvel's Jersey City cast deserves, and the protagonist sounds great, too. (The random X-Men, maybe not so much.) The art is a treat, combining top-shelf polish with the sort of little background gags that I love (Deadpool the bacon thief!).

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like this was a step back from the previous miniseries Vellani and Pirzada wrote. While I would say that I liked it overall, I also thought it felt a bit dense when it comes to the story and dialogue. Hopefully this miniseries improves in future issues, as I liked what we got in The New Mutant.
