Pensioners celebrating getting the COVID jabs, dressed as superheroes. I wonder if the lady on the right actually knows who she's dressed as? Kamala must be less well known than the rest of these.

Yeah, that's a good point there. You'd think she'd take that more personally, given how heavy-handed C.R.A.D.L.E.'s tactics and methods have been toward "underaged vigilantes" and those supporting them.
The last one pisses me off, honestly. Just pointless.

It would've provided an interesting bit of conflict between Kamala and her family that wouldn't have necessarily been stereotypical, and I could see him being more willing to tolerate, if not accept, her activities as Ms. Marvel after realizing how much it meant to her and how much good she'd done. Wiping her parents' memories clean of her secret identity removed the chance for them to grow as characters in relation to Kamala, which I thought was a shame.

Well if they didn’t forbid her before, they definitely would have after Kamala’s Law and Outlawed.
That's probably why Ahmed mind-wiped them to begin with, having caught wind of the event from his higher-ups.
Assuming it's only her mother that still keeps her memory of Kamala like it had been, she probably would try her hardest to keep her daughter's secret safe from the family and CRADLE, but she would definitely be giving Kamala an earful in private about it. Especially given how her father nearly died while she was away dealing with Mr. Hyde and Stormranger.
She is Kamala Khan... The Magnificent Ms. Marvel!
Uh, she's the one who told Kamala's father the truth. Seems she got fed up of lying to her husband.

Fair point there.
Pretty much, yeah. I mean, one parent can't be hiding things about their child from the other parent. It doesn't work in the long run, at least not if both parents are supposed to look out for their child's best interests.

The whole thing was just Ahmed stomping all over a nice change of pace for a teen hero, though for a narrative excuse, I suspect her husband dying was what forced her to fess up. The real issue is that nothing was done to develop this, so the betrayal comes out of nowhere with no prior build-up.

That does make sense, though I do agree with you that it was a nice change of pace for a teen hero to have supportive parents that knew about the double identity. Kind of like the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle at DC. And hell, I don't see why Kamala's parents had to not know anymore, but her friend Miles Morales, who was also (and still is) being written by Ahmed, got to keep his parents (and uncle) in the loop on his double identity.

So she was in the miles comic today. Of course Kamala’s fans have rose colored glasses on. But nothing happened that hinted towards anything romantic.
Bruno is named dropped and he’s still referred to as Kamala’s “Best Friend”. I didn’t like how Ahmed referred to the dating as “The Worst” or whatever but alas. He’s not in charge of Kamala anymore so.. maybe the next writer won’t think of it like that.
I don’t see Kamala/Miles endgame at all. But I don’t mind them if they dated for a bit only to later decide to stay friends.
So Kamala can see how it is from the other side.
