Magnificent Ms. Marvel (2019-) #12

by Saladin Ahmed

I’ve been a huge fan of Ms. Marvel ever since her series first launched, but for whatever reason I’ve never actually formally reviewed her issues before (but I have reviewed the volumes, so that’s something at least). I’m going to remedy that now because her series is so worth talking about.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #12 is the latest issue in a run written by Saladin Ahmed, and artwork by Minkyu Jung, Juan Velasco, Ian Herring, and VC’s Joe Caramagna. These creatives are a powerhouse and have brought a new perspective on Kamala’s story.

The latest plot arc for Kamala has been a pretty intense and emotional one. I’ll be honest, there’s been a moment or two where I had to put the issue down and give myself a minute. So I guess consider yourself warned there? Basically, Ms. Marvel’s father is ill – seriously ill, and for a while, things were looking very grim. Grim enough to warrant the need of somebody like Doctor Strange to step in, which really speaks volumes in and of itself.

Speaking of Doctor Strange, if you’re not up to date on his current series, you should probably check that out. It’s going to provide a lot of context to what is happening now, I promise.
