Review: I had heard a lot about this comic and the mention of a Ms. Marvel made me very intrigued. It must be said that I always find it nice to have women super heroes as main characters.

I will start by talking about the story and I confess that it was not necessarily what I expected. Kamala is a young girl in search of freedom in relation to her parents who are very strict. She dreams of having powers, of being blonde, more beautiful, etc … But here, her life will change when she runs away one evening at a party and she finds herself in a strange fog.

I had a good time overall but it is true that I expected much more. It was nice and different but I something was missing for me. Perhaps I shall have it with the second volume! In any case, the illustrations were also nice enough to look at and as I said I had a good time.

Ms Marvel, Tome 1

Résumé : Kamala Khan, une jeune fille de confession musulmane, se découvre du jour au lendemain d’extraordinaires capacités. Grande fan de Carol Danvers, cette adolescente de Jersey City va s’apercevoir que de grands pouvoirs impliquent de grandes responsabilités.

Avis : J’avais entendu énormément en bien de ce comics et la mention d’une Ms. Marvel m’a beaucoup intriguée. Il faut dire que je trouve toujours agréable d’avoir des femmes super héros en tant que personnages principaux.

Je vais tout d’abord parler de l’histoire et j’avoue que ce n’était pas forcément ce à quoi je m’attendais. Kamala est une jeune fille en quête de liberté par rapport à ses parents qui sont très stricts et sévères. Elle rêve d’avoir des pouvoirs, d’être blonde, plus jolie, etc… Mais voilà, sa vie va changer quand elle fugue un soir à une fête et qu’elle se retrouve dans un brouillard étrange.

J’ai passé un bon moment globalement mais c’est vrai que j’en attendais beaucoup plus. C’était sympa et différent mais il me manquait quelque chose. Peut-être l’aurai-je avec le second tome ! En tout cas, Les illustrations étaient aussi assez agréables à regarder et comme je le disais j’ai passé un bon moment.
