This is the least-good volume of Ms. Marvel since G. Willow Wilson et al started it with Kamala Khan a few years back. Not much happens in it, but it still takes just as long. One of the characters with a dynamic arc comes out as not-straight - by a forced outing. And is immediately assumed to be "gay." And is immediately assumed to be doomed. Gahh fuck that tragic trope, but I'm still rooting for the characters involved.

The main storyline appeals to MMORPG (or whatever that acronym is) gamers and was likely inspired in part by that A.I. that Google or whoever made a couple years ago and put on Twitter. Within a short period of time, enough people were feeding awful garbage reasoning and vocab to the bot, and it learned from their behavior online and turned horrible rapidly. So, like that but in a comic book, and also more like every '90s sci-fi movie where a video game comes to life or sucks the players in or whatever. There's not really a single original thing in this run of Ms. Marvel issues, and even the moral lesson about cyber bullying is watered down. Squirrel Girl did it far better.

I didn't hate this book, and if it were any other title, I might've given it 3 or even 4 stars, but in the trajectory of Ms. Marvel comics, it's not great.

This storyline sets Ms. Marvel apart from other cintemporary storylines because of how grounded it is to a teen's mundane life; online games and social media, yet not lose the faith in humanity. There will be a dilemma in this story that will ultimately teach Kamala how to face consequences for the best of everyone.

WHERE WAS THIS SERIES WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN

As the series progresses, Ms. Marvel makes it pretty clear that this series is intended for teens. Damage Per Second focused on getting teens and citizens to "rock the vote" and change politics by being involved, the second part focused on a computer virus that learned from people connected on the internet and started blackmailing Ms. Marvel and releasing people's secrets. Overall, not bad, but not very strong either.

Generally good. Even though the premise of the main arc was a little ridiculous (even for a comic book), the story was told well, and I enjoyed seeing Ms. Marvel and friends wrestle with some of the things a young Spider-Man (or young person in love) has to.
I appreciate the intent of the gerrymandering story, but it felt a little too "after school special", and detracted just a little from my overall enjoyment.

meh. I actually read this at some point last year and forgot to mark it. I didn't notice until I looked to pick up vol 8. Vol 8 has pretty good reviews, but vol 7 was quite mediocre.

Most wholesome comic ever!

This was kinda a filler novel but I liked it.

3.5 As always, I am slightly confused because this is literally the only Marvel comics series I have read.

I'll just go ahead and commit to reading Ms. Marvel forever. Damage Per Second has a whole issue devoted to VOTING, including gerrymandering and redistricting, so I was bound to love it. There's also a plot that reminded me of a MOTW episode of BtVS, featuring a troll/virus situation, which I enjoyed, and one featuring Bruno over in Wakanda. I don't remember much about the latter but I do like Bruno, Wakanda, and Black Panther, so it couldn't have been bad, just forgettable.
