Women, amirite?
I feel like with every anthology the Big Two puts out, I say the same thing. They're never bad, but they're never consistently great. And I just wish that when they put out anthologies to celebrate a specific group of people, that they ensure every story is a banger. I don't think it's a talent issue. I think the format itself is very tricky to get right.
The silver lining is (for NOLA residents) Monica Rambeau taking Kamala Khan to Hansen's. Adorable.
But that's one panel in a 50-page book.
I like the *idea* of tying an anthology together with a common theme, but the frame story here leaves a lot to be desired.
The individual strips are weak even by anthology standards. America Chavez and Ms. Marvel retread some of their lamest bits of backstory drama for cheap sympathy.
And the karaoke strip has a bad case of random casting; literally anybody could be swapped in for Black Cat and Mysterio. Even if you stipulate that the host has to be a female Korean hero, you have alternatives--this could star Luna Snow with zero alterations.
More sick identity politics from the increasingly woke Marvel.
