Love is in the air in Jersey City as Valentine's Day arrives! Kamala Khan may not be allowed to go to the school dance...but Ms. Marvel is! Well sort of - by crashing it attempting to capture Asgard's most annoying trickster! Yup, it's a special Valentine's Day story featuring Marvel's favorite charlatan, Loki, the Asgardian trickster god. And when a mysterious stranger arrives in Jersey City, Ms. Marvel must deal with ... crush! Because this new kid is really, really cute. What are these feelings, Kamala Khan?

Review of 'Ms. Marvel' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A fun and entertaining read, even if I'm not fully within the perimeters of its target demographic. As an outsider looking in I was pretty impressed by the way that Wilson continues to weave Kamala and her family's Pakistani culture heritage into the plot. But obviously the bar really isn't that high for DC Marvel when it comes to diversity.

Obviously this comic isn't going to be for everyone, but it continues to be really nice to read something that really pushes the boundaries of what makes a super hero comic. And maybe I'm crazy, but I love love loved Bruno's refusal to demonize friendship and mope in "the friend zone".
