"EMBIGGEN!" Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) Appreciation

[Digifiend]

Careful. Numbering goes back to #1 after issue #19. It's vol 3 #1 to #19 then vol 4 #1 to #31, which is the most recent solicited issue due out in June. Volumes 1 and 2 starred Carol Danvers.

I'm still wondering why they haven't gotten to legacy numbering yet. But maybe for the 50th issue they may do dual numbering?

Exiles #1 was good for what it was, though I wish it was longer. Got to at least know Blink, Khan and Iron Lad. And as for the character at hand, we really didn't get a whole lot of who Khan exactly is or how she ended up where she's at. Maybe we'll get more down the line, but for now we can gleam that her being called her old name is an issue, she's chosen by the Tallus for whatever reason, cares deeply for her Inhuman comrades in her world, and has low BS tolerance.

[Digifiend]

Maybe during IVX, Moon Girl and Forge never teamed up to get rid of the t-mist, and so the war waged longer, sucking in the other superheroes. Carol and some of her Alpha Flight comrades have history with the X-Men, so would be likely to side with them. Kamala would see this as a betrayal, which would explain her annoyance at people using the Ms Marvel name - it'd be a reason for her to ditch it. It's also possible that her identity got outed around that time, and the Champions won't have stuck together either (because Cyclops had still been on the team - the Avengers Unity Squad would've been dismantled for the same reason, changing the events of Avengers No Surrender). Everything went south in other words, and she lost her fangirlism of the superhero world. The t-mist would've then been dealt with some other way, and the decimated mutants start seeking revenge. The fighting wrecks civilization.

That's my hope was well.

I'm not worried. Just look at Moon Girl. A book can survive on good digital sales.

Maybe so but remember when Ms. Marvel used to be stable around the 30K mark? Ever since they put the book on hold for the Secret Wars event and its relaunch, it seemed to have lost a lot of its momentum print sales wise.

That was 30 issues ago! Attrition is a thing. Most books nowadays don't last that amount of time under one writer.

I had a Kamala Khan related question answered earlier.... Does Exiles Kamala still have her powers and the answer is yes.

And in fun storyness she can use her huge embiggened hand to act as a lie detector test. Has Kamala done that in her comic at any point? I've read most of them but not all. It seems like something new.

Course time will tell is Khan still has ALL of Kamala's powers or not. I figure being from a grizzled dystopia and old Kamala's powers are either fading or otherwise not as strong as her normal canon self.

Or maybe they're even more powerful since she has been using her powers longer and fully understands how to use them.

That's certainly possible though we don't too often get many examples of that. At least outside of characters who aren't functionally immortal or ageless.

Though hmmm if Kamala is a shapeshifter she might be older than she even looks ala Mystique. Imagine if this isn't just an old Kamala but a REALLY old Kamala IE in her 200's or so after her world became a dystopia. Huh. There's a possibility.

I’m so nervous for next week!

Red Dagger is terrible.

Through a mix of Inhuman longevity, her elastic like skin, and healing factor ya that would be cool, the last person who was there when the war started.

[Digifiend]

She definitely no longer has her healing factor, or she wouldn't be scarred.

Previews for Ms Marvel #29, Avengers #689, Venomized #3, and Incredible Hulk #715.

[a0040pc]

Yeah, not a fan of Red Dagger. Doesn't seem to be anything interesting about him.

Will have to pick up Incredible Hulk next week. Looks like Kamala has a big role (in the literal sense).

For the upcoming Death Of The Inhumans series coming up I think that Kamala is one of the Inhumans who I guaranteed to be safe. She is one of the few successes that came from the Inhuman push.

[Digifiend]

Probably because her Inhumanity was just an origin excuse (had she been created a couple of years earlier, or now, I'm sure she'd be a mutant - the same applies to Moon Girl), so she's successful despite being an Inhuman. They created the character first (they wanted a Muslim hero), and then decided on her origin and codename.
