Today's post is on Ms. Marvel, Volume 4: Last Days by G. Willow Wilson (Author), Adrian Alphona (Illustrator). It is 120 pages long and published by Marvel. The cover has Kamala on it in the center with destruction of Jersey City behind her. There intended reader is someone who has read the first three volumes and like Marvel Comics. There in no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this comic book. The story is told from third person close of Kamala. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- From the moment Kamala put on her costume, she's been challenged. But nothing has prepared her for this: the last days of the Marvel Universe. Lucky she's got the help of Carol "Captain Marvel" Danvers! Between teaming up with her personal hero to rescue her brother and trying to keep her city from falling into an all-out frenzy, Kamala has barely had time to come to terms with the fact that the world is literally collapsing around her. But the truth will catch up to her, and soon. When the world is about to end, do you still keep fighting? Kamala knows the answer. Let's do this, Jersey City.
Collecting: Ms. Marvel (2014) #16-19, written by G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by Adrian Alphona, plus material from Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #7-8.
Review- We pick very near the ending of volume three with Kamala still dealing with her ex-crush and a bit of a broken heart. But she doesn't get long to mope because something is happening in New York City, a planet has appeared over it and everything is getting real. Kamala does what she can help but then she begins to feel how small she really is in the face of something like this. Captain Marvel comes to see her to give her information and to help her in a small way. We do not get the see the bigger picture in this comic because that is not the point, the point is Kamala protects Jersey City, her home, New York is in the hands of others. We do get some character development with Kamala, her mother, and her best friend. But the volume ends before we get see anything else about the bad stuff the volume ends. I am pleased with the character progress in this volume and I am curious about what is going to come next.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
