A lot of people have already praised this volume, so I'll keep it short. I enjoyed this. It was a quick and diverting read about a very relatable teenager coming into her powers. Frankly, it kind of reminded me of Spiderman, but female and Muslim. (That's a good thing, by the way). 
 Flip side: 
 Understanding the events around Kamala's aquisition of her powers *does* require some extra knowledge of the universe. I've been in and out of comics and relared media most of my life, so I was ok with it, but it might be a stumbling block to those who are new to Marvel. Another plot fumble, aside from general origin-story, there's not a lot of driving force in this volume. The introduction of the antagonist at the end of the volume didn't make a lot of sense, for example. That said, there is a great deal of potential for later issues. 
 I'm not totally sure that I'm sold on the art style. Comics/Graphic novels occupy a unique position in that there are two halves of the storytelling process: The script, and the art. How the characters present the dialogue is just as important as the actual content. While I think that the art was nice... there's something about it that doesn't consistently appeal to me. On the other hand, Adrian Alphona has done a great job avoiding 'sameface' among the characters. So kudos for that.
