3 stars
This volume felt more structured than the last. Not as much filler. Still a fair amount of corniness.

An enemy from Ms. Marvel's past resurfaces and begins targeting those closest to Kamala. As the world around her is spinning out of control, it becomes clear that this time there's something more sinister at work...Kamala's no stranger to fighting for what's right, but in facing down this challenge, everything she is will be called into question. Not just as a super hero, but as a human being.
This volume felt more structured than the last. Not as much filler. Still a fair amount of corniness.
Rarely do I come across comics as timely and as amazingly relevant as Ms Marvel. This one tackles head-on the desire people have for 'normality' and a return to 'American greatness'. It is frightening in its application and offers no easy answers.
