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 Vol 5: Super Famous by G. Willow Wilson (Writer), Takeshi Miyazawa (Artist), Adrian Alphona (Artist), Nico Leon (Artist), Ian Herring (Colorist), VC"s Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


In the previous comic, Kamala's family's old friends move back to town with their attractive son whom she is interested in until she finds out that he is using his Inhuman abilities for evil things and plans on overtaking Queen Medusa.  He kidnaps her brother and exposes him to the Terrigen Mist that gives him powers that he must find a way to deal with.  Her and Bruno have a conversation about their relationship where she tells him that they can't be more than friends because of what she does.

Now she has been busy working with the Avengers. So busy she hasn't noticed that Bruno is dating a girl named Mike.  Jealousy rouses its ugly head.  But she doesn't have time for that.  A relocation organization is using her face to promote it causing bad feeling in the neighboorhood.  They are wanting to change the neighboorhood into something different and are handing out purple goo drinks that are causing people to turn into zombies.

Dr. Faustus is behind it all and now he has Bruno working for him in a zombie state so Kamala goes to Mike for help.  In another comic, Kamala needs help with being everywhere and Bruno finds a way to create more than one of her.  Her brother has found a woman to marry and she's not being there for him or for her friends or for school as she's trying to be there for the Avengers.  Of course, things get out of control quickly and she finds that she needs help.

This is a great series and this comic delves deep into her emotions as it shows how she feels about Bruno who has moved on from her to someone else who happens to be really cool and you like her so you don't necessarily want him to break up with her to get with Kamala who still doesn't seem to want to be in a relationship as she doesn't have time for one.  And this book explores the differences between two cultures and races marrying as Kamala's brother's bride is African American, but Muslim, yet her family is Christian.  I really loved this book and give it five out of five stars.
