Collects Ms. Marvel (2014) #6-11.

Who is the Inventor, and what does he want with the all-new Ms. Marvel and all her friends? Maybe Wolverine can help! If Kamala can stop fan-girling out about meeting her favorite super hero, that is. Then, Kamala crosses paths with Inhumanity -- by meeting the royal dog, Lockjaw! But why is Lockjaw really with Kamala? As Ms. Marvel discovers more about her past, the Inventor continues to threaten her future. Kamala bands together with some unlikely heroes to stop the maniacal villain before he does real damage, but has she taken on more than she can handle? And how much longer can Ms. Marvel's life take over Kamala Khan's? The fan-favorite, critically acclaimed, amazing new series continues as Kamala Khan proves why she's the best (and most adorable) new super hero there is!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up—The second installment of the "Ms. Marvel" series picks up with boisterous Kamala Khan continuing her hunt for Jersey City's newest villain, The Inventor. She stumbles upon a suspicious sewer drain that leads her to deadly robots, giant alligators, her hero Wolverine, and none other than the nemesis himself—a cockatiel-human hybrid, genetically cloned from Thomas Edison's DNA. Kamala also discovers that her newly acquired powers are far from a fluke and that she might be superhuman after all, thanks to some more familiar faces in the Marvel Universe. In a disturbing final standoff, the source of The Inventor's "clean energy" is revealed, leading our heroine to realize that her generation needs a voice now more than ever. Packed with just as much action, snark, and plot twists as its predecessor, this second entry might be even more enjoyable than the first, as it begins to tackle the fraught concept of "the new generation," and whether technology keeps teens plugged into the world, or tuned out. Wyatt and Alphona's vibrant and textured artwork complements Kamala's brave, yet compassionate nature, while perfectly showcasing her "elastic" talents. VERDICT Fans of Ms. Marvel will not be disappointed in this exciting continuation. A worthy addition to any library's comic collection.—Ashleigh Williams, School Library

Finally gaining some traction...
We pick up with Kamala still chasing after and battling the same villain as the previous volume. She’s conflicted about her new role (aka Ms Marvel) and learning to use her powers which I think makes her more human and relatable to me. Kamala really showed a lot of character growth. She also realizes that sometimes standing together makes you stronger and this volume raised a lot of awareness about our generation and how we need the chance to prove ourselves. I loved it. We also start to see things begin to fall into place and actually gain some traction with the plot line. I was definitely more invested in this volume than the first one. It still didn’t wow me, but did hold my attention better. Also, the art in the first two issues is by a different artist. Not sure why that was but I wasn’t a huge fan of it. I really liked that it had a previously paragraph to refresh me because it had been a month or two gap between the volumes. Overall, I still enjoyed this volume and think that the series is getting better, but its just not gripping me like I had hoped. I’m going to keep going though with hopes it finally will.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Feel of an Independent Comic With the Team-Ups of a Marvel Title
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Ms. Marvel, Vol. 2: Generation Why features Kamala Khan's continuing adventures. During the day, she's a nerdy Pakistani-American girl living in Jersey City, New Jersey, and by night, a crime-fighting shape shifter. In this volume, she's up against the Inventor, who is using teenage kids to power his giant robots. She teams up with Wolverine and finds out more about why she has super powers. Is she a mutant? Is she an alien? Will she join the X-Men? The Fantastic Four?

    What makes Ms. Marvel work is that it's a fun, new comic about a fun, new character who just happens to live in the Marvel universe. Ms. Marvel would be a very good comic if it were an Image title, but as a Marvel title, it's great because she gets to meet Wolverine and a host of already-established characters while still maintaining the feel of an independent comic. It's funny, engaging, and fun, and it receives my highest recommendations. *****

    The new Ms. Marvel is here and it's good... Just not great. I would recommend this to anyone who loved first but realize your getting a more hit and miss book than the first. First the good. Kamala is still a very fun, very likeable character that you want to read about. Wolverine guests stars in the first portion and Willow Wilson does a great job of threading the needle. Wolverine is a big character with a lot of baggage but he doesn't steal the show. Kamala stands like an equal all while keeping up the charm and fun.

    That said there are noticeable cracks in the foundations. There is a theme throughout about the current generation being lazy, entitled and even parasitic. It basically refers to Kamala's generation a waste and sets her up a means to prove that wrong. It doesn't work well and that dead horse gets beat hard and repeatedly.

    Still if you can turn your brain off a bit, it's a great ride. Fun characters, great action, and an art style that is unique and joyful. There's lots to like here but don't expect perfection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "You're a bird!" - Kamala Khan wins (my heart) again!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I read Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal back in December and immediately pre-ordered this one. I finished this in about an hour, if that tells you anything about how much I enjoyed it. I was a slave to this story.

    Volume 2 is wonderfully reminiscent of the previous collection's fun and witty humor. The stakes are higher, but the author does a fantastic job of weaving between kick-butt action scenes and comic relief sequences à-la-Kamala. She also continues to tie in Kamala's Pakistani-Muslim heritage in a way that doesn't mask the overall plot. I really liked the teacher figures in Kamala's life. I'm a sucker for mentor-student relationships that help guide the superhero to his/her destiny. Kamala seems to have grown more comfortable with herself and her role as Ms. Marvel in this collection. That she can remain positive and strong in the face of adversary is truly admirable. Quite a few people are saying that this is the first time they have felt truly connected to a comic book character since Peter Parker (Spider Man), and I agree. They are very similar in nature; funny, playful, loyal, and heroic.

    The artwork is stunning as ever and the panels are easy to follow. Fans of the first volume will love this next installment as they embark on Kamala's next journey alongside her newest sidekick, Lockjaw!. Expect tons of laughs and empowering messages. And of course, I have Volume 3: Crushed on pre-order!

    I have not read any comic books since I was a pre-teen, but this story has drawn me in. I'm a middle-aged white american male and I thoroughly love this character and her trials and tribulations. The family life and typical teenager situations combined with trying to learn her new powers has made this new Ms. Marvel a fascinating and interesting character. I also really enjoy the humor the writer employs and the drawing are really engaging. Highly recommended.

    I already loved the first one A LOT.
    But this one felt even better for me.

    I still just love and adore Kamala as a character. I just love her personality and everything about her. The moment she came face to face with Wolverine and started to fangirl. That was just such a normal things to do for someone who is so into superheroes and stuff. I just loved that a lot.

    I also really enjoy the addition of Lockjaw. Cause she really needs a crime fighting buddy and I love that it turned out to be a huge dog with a weird antenna on his head LOL

    The story was great. The art was wonderful.
    (I have the third volume here but I want to wait a bit to continue reading)
