I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Ms. Marvel: Volume Two Generation Why by G. WIllow Wilson (Writer), Jacob Wyatt (Artist), Adrian Alphona (Artist), Ian Herring (Colorist), VC's Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


In the previous comic Kamala Khan gets her powers after one night when a gas settles over Jersey City.  She is able to change sizes and has some healing ability when she changes back to her regular form.  She helped rescue her best friend Bruno's thieving brother from some bad guys who were involved with a new villain in town named the Inventor who has a stash of kids in his hideaway for some nefarious purpose.

Now the Inventor is sending bots all around town to attack her. But that's nothing to getting in trouble with her family for being out after curfew.  She is sent to talk to the dreaded Sheikh Abdullah at the Mosque.  However, instead of getting a long lecture from him when she tells him that she is out helping people but she's not very good at it he tells her that what she needs is a teacher and that one will appear when she is ready.  That teacher will turn out to be Wolverine who is looking for a missing student from the Jean Grey School.  She explains to him about the Inventor and the two do battle together to find the girl.

The Inventor is a clone of Thomas Edison created into a parakeet who has a human sidekick named Knox.  The girl that Kamala and Wolverine found was being used as a battery for a machine.  So maybe the Inventor is powering his inventions with the kids he is kidnapping. When Kamala tells him that she got her powers after the night of the Terrigen Bomb he sends Captain America to talk to Medusa the Queen of the Inhumans to let her know that Kamala is a powerful inhuman that could use some help but needs her independence and to not bring her into the city of Attilan. Medusa sends the dog Lockjaw to help Kamala out.

People keep telling her to stop going after the Inventor. That he is too big for her to handle. But this is Jersey City, her home, and he is threatening it so she will not stop until she gets him behind bars.  This comic was even better than the first one as we get to see her grow more into her powers and learn just how much she can handle.  At the end of this one, it teases that Loki might be involved so I eagerly await reading it.
