MS. MARVEL: STRETCHED THIN (ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL)

Good Lord, I love Kamala Khan. I am definitely *not* the target audience--white, middle-aged man, here!--but it is so, so much fun having a superhero who loves what they're doing, rather than carrying the weight of the world all the time. Of course, there's plenty of weight to be carried, but Kamala never loses her bounce, which is what makes her so amazing.This is a simple story, with a very kiddy, cute art style, but it's everything a Ms. Marvel story needs to be: trying to do too much, too fast; overcoming annoying (rather than stressful to read) bad guys; and lots of self-deprecation and quips. I love it.If you love this latest iteration of Ms. Marvel, you'll love this book. In fact, you probably already own it!You should.

What can I say? I've loved Kamala Khan from day one, and I miss her monthly series. Though for younger readers (I'm 57), it's a solid story of heroics and family and friends, just like all of her adventures.

My 6 year old son loved this addition to his collection of Marvel graphic novels. It was a pretty easy read with not a large bulk of words, but due to that, I can see him gravitating back to this frequently!
