Ms. Marvel Volume 4 Review

Ms. Marvel, Volume 4: Last Days. G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona. 2015. Marvel. 120 pages.

Rating: 4/5

Last Days is a nice follow up to Crushed. Kamala is coming to terms with the events of the previous book and a cataclysmic change to the Marvel universe. Plus, she gets to meet her hero and inspiration, Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel.

A planet randomly shows up over Manhattan and everyone freaks out about it. Kamala and her friends step up in a big way to protect their neighbors and deal with the people fleeing New York. There are also looters, some much needed glimpses of Kamala's relationships, and even an appearance of Spider-Man.

Kamala and Bruno finally face their feelings for each other, even though impending doom appears to be about to ruin it. The couple issues involving Spider-Man felt more like padding than anything else though. Kamala's personality is present, but those issues are pretty superficial. They could have been left out without hurting the book any.

Everything that has made this series good is present. Anyone who has read this far should enjoy the book.
