Let's get something straight right off the bat here. Ms Marvel is not the Ms Marvel I thought she was. I thought Ms Marvel was the girl that had her powers all sucked away by Rogue (of the X-Men, back when she was evil). 
 I figured wrong. Turns out I was thinking of Captain Marvel. Which is weird because I thought Captain Marvel was the black lady that was in the Avengers back in the 80's. She had some sort of light powers, like, she could turn into a form of light and stuff. Not like Dazzler could, that's totally different. I think Dazzler could make light... Captain Marvel was light... or something. 
 Turns out, I was wrong, that isn't Captain Marvel either. And I also thought it was the proper name of a certain DC character that has powers eerily similar to Superman. Also wrong, seems like he is called Shazam now, and that seems strange to me, not because it's illogical or anything, but that I remember somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain, there being someone really making certain that I knew that he WASN'T called Shazam, that's just the name he called to get his powers, he's still called Captain Marvel... except he isn't. 
 Or wait, didn't he have a bunch of sidekicks? Maybe one of them was Captain Marvel. 
 Either way, I was wrong about a lot of things. Turns out Ms Marvel is a newish hero. A young girl that doesn't quite fit in with all the cool kids in her high school. She gets exposed to the Terrigan mist (not a French herb, btw, but a fog thing that gives people superpowers... also making its way into the Agents of Shield TV show) 
 Because I think this Terrigan mist thing is an attempt of Marvel to remake the X-Men properties into characters they have the rights to for film and TV use. You know, the Inhumans. 
 I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I thought the mist killed people who weren't Inhumans already. I'm sure they've worked through all that and stuff, it doesn't really matter, they created a new hero. 
 And she's pretty cool. I heard a lot of praise for this comic and I can see why. The story it's telling is pretty small in scope, but it's still pretty awesome. No major bad guys or alien invasions or whatever. Just a girl dealing with her powers and trying not to freak out her family. 
 On a side note, I like origin stories, once a person gets their powers then a whole world of possibilities opens up. I kinda wish I'd see more stories about people who get powers and then do what most of us would do with them. Not become criminals or heroes or stuff like that, but just walking into a bar and impressing the hell out of people. 
 I mean, if I were Thor, and I could control the weather, I'd make sure there were no droughts to speak of anywhere in the world. It might not be mighty, but it would mean a lot of people could eat. 
 And if I were The Rhino I'd just be a personal bodyguard or something. It's not like he'd be having to take on Spider-Man or the Hulk all the time if he were just walking around looking intimidating for Bill Gates. I mean, all he'd have to do is make sure some pissed off windows user didn't throw a crappy laptop at him while he's giving a talk somewhere. I'm sure there's a lot of money in that type of work. 
 Whatever. All I'm saying is that I'm more interested in the smaller stories that heroes have nowadays. This one is way up that alley. Good stuff.
