I read Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal back in December and immediately pre-ordered this one. I finished this in about an hour, if that tells you anything about how much I enjoyed it. I was a slave to this story.
Volume 2 is wonderfully reminiscent of the previous collection's fun and witty humor. The stakes are higher, but the author does a fantastic job of weaving between kick-butt action scenes and comic relief sequences à-la-Kamala. She also continues to tie in Kamala's Pakistani-Muslim heritage in a way that doesn't mask the overall plot. I really liked the teacher figures in Kamala's life. I'm a sucker for mentor-student relationships that help guide the superhero to his/her destiny. Kamala seems to have grown more comfortable with herself and her role as Ms. Marvel in this collection. That she can remain positive and strong in the face of adversary is truly admirable. Quite a few people are saying that this is the first time they have felt truly connected to a comic book character since Peter Parker (Spider Man), and I agree. They are very similar in nature; funny, playful, loyal, and heroic.
The artwork is stunning as ever and the panels are easy to follow. Fans of the first volume will love this next installment as they embark on Kamala's next journey alongside her newest sidekick, Lockjaw!. Expect tons of laughs and empowering messages. And of course, I have Volume 3: Crushed on pre-order!

Finally gaining some traction...
We pick up with Kamala still chasing after and battling the same villain as the previous volume. She’s conflicted about her new role (aka Ms Marvel) and learning to use her powers which I think makes her more human and relatable to me. Kamala really showed a lot of character growth. She also realizes that sometimes standing together makes you stronger and this volume raised a lot of awareness about our generation and how we need the chance to prove ourselves. I loved it.We also start to see things begin to fall into place and actually gain some traction with the plot line. I was definitely more invested in this volume than the first one. It still didn’t wow me, but did hold my attention better. Also, the art in the first two issues is by a different artist. Not sure why that was but I wasn’t a huge fan of it. I really liked that it had a previously paragraph to refresh me because it had been a month or two gap between the volumes.Overall, I still enjoyed this volume and think that the series is getting better, but its just not gripping me like I had hoped. I’m going to keep going though with hopes it finally will.
