Review:

    The Inventor is growing in power in Jersey City and has his eye on a certain superhero: Ms. Marvel! It does not help that Kamla’s parents have told Sheikh Abdullah about her acting strangely. She tries her best to explain without reviling her hero identity and lets it slip that she feels she not very good at doing it. Sheikh Abdullah shocks her by giving her some advice. She needs a teacher. When Kamla asks were to find one, he says “When the student is ready the master will appear”. What master appears? The Superhero Wolverine!

    While the newbie hero is investigating one of the Inventor’s creations in the Jersey City sewers, she bumps into the six clawed mutant. OMG! It’s the one and only wolverine! Stop it Kamla! It’s not the time to fan girl! Wolverine is look for a missing student and they decide to work together. While searching he gives her some hero tips and Ms. Marvel is even able to impress the old grouch. Then the two find the missing student; inside one of the Inventor’s machines! Is he using them as batteries? Why? Ms. Marvel is going to find out and put a stop to the Inventor once and for all!

    This is a great volume two in Ms. Marvel’s superhero journey. She’s still learning the robes and having some realizations. This is another identity, and she needs to be careful. This volume tackles the issue of how society perceives Kamla’s generation, nothing more than zombies glued to their phones. The Inventor is shown to feel the same. he even brainwashes teens into thinking his way is the only way to have a better future. Ms. Marvel realizes the best way to not just have a better future, but also do her superhero duties, is for others to work together. I feel this is a great message, especially in a world that seems so divided now a days.

    This volume also has Kamla in her first superhero team up! It was fun to read Kamla’s reaction to meeting Wolverine and how she goes on about writing fanfiction featuring him. She is a true fan girl! The volume also gives some info about what was going on in Wolverine’s series at the time without giving to much that might confuse the reader. This really makes me want to read more team ups featuring Kamla. It’s also revealed that Kamla is part of a group known as the Inhumans. I can’t wait to learn more and I give this Volume a four out of five!
