Ms. Marvel Appreciation

This is a really interesting comic, and what I really like about it is that it is going back to more classic comic element roots with a contemporary spin.  Way back when, a lot of people struggled with relating to characters like Superman and Captain America because in their original incarnations, they were too perfect.  So we began to see more relatable comic characters, the most notable being Peter Parker's Spider-man.  And what is great about Ms. Marvel is that we are seeing the same thing happening again with a new hero.  A lot of new comic fans have difficulty getting into pre-existing series because there is so much going on.  This is particularly true of Marvel, which has basically gone over the top with alternate universes and different planets and magic and a whole variety of lore.
But Ms. Marvel just goes back to the fun, simple idea of an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances.  And just like the writers knew Spider-man's fan base of nerdy teen boys (presumably), the writers of Ms. Marvel have recognized that their contemporary audiences are diverse.  Of course, female fans and POC have always been there, but Marvel's acknowledgement of their presence reflects a refreshing shift in perspective.
And Kamala is a fantastic character to personify that shift in perspective.  She feels like an outsider, not just because of her nerdyness, but because of her cultural background.  She is witty and sarcastic.  She is emotional and vulnerable and strong.  And she is just fun to read about.
She is reflective of a generation of fans that have grown up reading comics and relating to the characters, and she is basically living the dream of becoming one of her heroes, with all its perks and drawbacks.
Ms. Marvel has also been extremely successful, which really shows that the excuses people have made: that nobody wants to read about a female superhero, or a non-white superhero, or someone with a perspective shaped by her culture and religion (unless that culture is American and that religion is Christian), are all untrue.
