Ms. Marvel #1

[skemono]

The second issue came out on Comixology this week, so this should no longer be the most recent issue. But it was still pretty hard to choose which parts of this to post.


The issue opens in a convenience store, Circle Q, where Kamala and Nakia are talking with their friend (and employee of the store) Bruno.


In walks Zoe Zimmer and Josh [last name unavailable]. Josh extends invitation to a party on the waterfront.




Back at home (presumably after school) Kamala's Avengers fan-fiction is interrupted as she's called to dinner.




Tempers flare, and Kamala goes / is sent to her room. She decides to sneak out to go to the party anyway.



The party does not go well, and Kamala stomps off to go home. However, the Terrigen mists spread over the city and Kamala blacks out, falling unconscious on the sidewalk. She wakes to see Captain Marvel reciting Amir Khusrow's "The Yellow Mustard is Blooming" in Urdu, while Captain America and Iron Man translate it to English. Kamala responds appropriately.







Around 6 2/3 pages of 20.

'You must have some kind of weird boot fetish' is my favourite line from this issue, and there are a lot of good ones.

'Delicious, delicious infidel meat' is a close second.

I loved that. I once walked by my daughter at a buffet table (family event thing) and she was saying to someone, "Oh my God, I'm starving. Let me at that tref platter!"

Shellfish is what I miss. Ah, sweet, delicious, forbidden lobster, why must you torment me?

Just tell yourselves that it's just the cockroach of the sea. That should cure the appetite for it for the rest of, well, pretty much all time.

In my experience people that have never had pork or bacon always think it smells disgusting. They've never tasted it.

But I get how that opening scene makes the story work. Great writing.

I grew up not eating pork, and while I don't think it smells disgusting, I just don't see any appeal to it.

I grew up in a pork-eating country. I like the smell of bacon but I find the taste disgusting.

I used to eat ham, but I never liked bacon... and now i avoid most pork products (not for religious reasons or mostly not anyway), but I do think bacon looks and smells gross.
