Volume ten marks the conclusion of the five-year Ms. Marvel run of G. Willow Wilson, who has to be sincerely thanked and celebrated for bringing life and humor and diversity to a teen audience for Marvel Comics generally and for the character of Ms. Marvel specifically.

"You have our word Kamala will always be out there, fighting the good fight - taking down the bad guys and helping those who need it. She just hopes that you will be, too.

With Vol. 10: Time and Again, the Ms. Marvel series bids farewell to the steady involvement of both Amanat and writer / co-creator G. Willow Wilson. Without a doubt, it has been an exceptional run for ...more

At the same time Bruno discovers the science behind her powers which was actually quite dumb, involving some time travel hooha.

The Ms. Marvel comics have been uneven to me, but this issue returned to some of the original concepts from the first season (Vols. 1-4). I adore the first four volumes, but once Kamala became more involved with the Avengers, her intricate relationship with friends and family in Jersey City was backgrounded to frequent appearances by fan-favorites like Tony Stark and Miles Morales.

And so marks the end of G.

They are too interconnected and I can't read them all, it's impossible, so I will read almost none of them instead. I have been making an exception for Ms. Marvel for several reasons: Firstly because Kamala Khan is a damn delight, and second because Wilson has shepherded her over a lovely coming of age journey with heart and silliness both in equal measure, and third because these comics mostly stand on their own. You can read them without feeling the need to seek out anything else being published at the moment, and that comforts me.

This was a good ending for Wilson's last hurrah. One of the issues has a bunch of guest writers (including Rainbow Rowell and Hasan Minhaj, and original series artist Adrian Alphona returns for a bit), and it also featured Kamala having a slumber party with her girls, while constantly popping out to Ms. Marvel some stuff. But finally what I've been waiting for has happened, and that's Kamala's friends acknowledging that they all already know she's Ms. Marvel. I feel like this could have happened a lot earlier, but I can understand wanting to save it for the end.

As it's been more than two months since I finished this, my memory if it is actually pretty spotty, but I remember feeling very satisfied by it. What I really need to do is finally break down and buy my own copies of Vols. 1-10 (or maybe they will come out with a hardcover bind-up??) and do a re-read, all back to back.

In the end, I appreciate this series. I appreciate it for its heart and its intelligence and its compassion. I appreciate it for its goofy jokes and comical adventures, and I appreciate it for Kamala's very real emotional struggles, and for understanding that sometimes things are just *cool* (giant alien teleporting dog! Skyshark! Thomas Edison evil bird clone! Kamala writes fanfiction!).

An oldie but goodie.

I'm not sure if I will continue with whoever is taking over Ms. Marvel. I guess never say never. I will be sure to keep an eye out for all your reviews, thanks ever so much. ...more

It's often a sad thing when one of the original creators leaves an ongoing title, but I must admit to feeling quite happy when I learned this was Wilson's last volume as writer. While I have enjoyed her development of the characters's personalities and interaction, her plots were usually quite inane. Take the unmemorable batch of stories in this book for example: a C-level Spider-Man villain, some time-travel hooey, and a broken water main. Hrm.

World: The art is fantastic as always with very beautiful expressive and emotive art that shows the personality of the characters and the tone of the series. The world building here is good but also a bit janky. I love that we are getting some real answers to where Kamala's powers come from and the pieces that Wilson creates here are very intriguing but at the same time the way it's used in the story is the janky aspect of it (more below). I also love the call backs to all the pieces that Wilson has created for her last run for this character, it's nostalgia city.

Story: We had some wonderful emotional moments last arc and it felt like a lot of saying goodbye. We have that here too and I love that about the series, the heart and the banter. I will say however that this last arc did feel a bit over redundant and a lot of the emotions of friendship and love and care were parroted again and again to the fact that by the end it felt kind of hollow. I love it when a writer gets to end the series her way but it felt a bit repetitive and it makes me sad that the story suffered a bit. I know there is a lot of wrapping up but yeah. The other part of the story with the Shocker was at the same time really fun but at the same time janky and choppy and having to deal with where Kamala's power comes from at the last possible moment in the run is a bit odd, it felt really choppy and tacked on and out of place with the rest of the story and though it's fun it was not amazing (the humor was nice). It raises a lot of questions and I don't know if the new series will deal with it or if this is just Wilson's take but I don't know it felt out of place and it made me sad that it also felt a bit rushed. In the end I judge this series for the entirety of it and it's amazing, it created a wonderful character which is by far my favorite Marvel character in the last 10 years.

Characters: I love Kamala and this time we get a lot of goodbyes for her. We see her grow and we see her find out what she's made of, it was a bit janky but she's still such a lovely character and the best thing about this series. I love the cast of characters and giving them time is good and having them all have their thing is good, at the same time it made some emotions a bit repetitive. I still love this series so much because of the characters.

I love this series, didn't end the best way but still amazing.

"Being part of the genesis of Kamala Khan has been one of the greatest honors of my life. From my puzzlement during that first telephone conversation with Sana in 2012--I was pregnant, frazzled from a long book tour and in disbelief (You want to launch a new character? In this market?)--to my stunned amazement when the first issue went into its seventh printing, to my glee when Sana handed the first trade paperback to the president of the United States, this journey has been pure joy." -from the afterward.

Back in 2014, after I had been reading comic books for a little over a year (mostly mostly about Miles Morales) the news broke out about a new superheroine--a Pakistani-American who would be a legacy character like Miles and--it was causing a sensation. this title would be for awhile one of my favorite comic books. It is amazing how much my relationship with sequential art has changed since I picked this title up. After one of my favorite comics was callously axed by Marvel Comics in 2017, I pretty much stopped reading titles published by them. With some changes in my financial situation and my taste in sequential art starting to drift from Western comic books to Japaneses manga, I missed the ending of G. Willow Wilson's tenure on this book (as well as her going from Marvel Comics to DC Comics to write Wonder Woman). I waited until I was ready to dig into some more contemporary Marvel and decided to start by wrapping up some of the titles that played a role in the early years of my comics reading.

Given that this book is the swan song of Kamala's original writer (and editor Sana Amanat), it was basically written as a transition issue that wrapped-up the story arc of the last two volumes and set the stage for the new writer of the title Saladin Ahmed (who ironically also took over the writing of Miles Morales). The interesting thing is that most of comic book issues that make-up this trade paperback were co-written by Wilson and Ahmed so that it makes the transition to the new-era of Ms. Marvel more seamless. We also have all the artists that illustrated Kamala over the years contribute to this volume. I always liked the unique art of the original artist Adrian Alphona, but the other illustrators are well-enough.

This book is interesting because it has always been marketed toward a specific 12+ age group, but very kid-friendly. Those remarkable volumes 5-7 were the darkest the book has ever gotten, but I never felt there was a bad or uneven volume during Wilson's tenure (I guess the only real criticism is the lack of consistency with art), but I can tell she had told every story she wanted to tell with this character and now she is writing a completely different character. This is not a title that is trying to appeal to adults specifically (something rare in our modern "Iron" Age of Comics), but to all folks who want to get together for some kindness in this ol world. ...more

Oh no, I've read the last ever G. Willow Wilson issue of Ms. Marvel. Like the Doctor regenerating, I'm excited for the future but sad to say goodbye to the past. The series ended on a high note - with a surreal fight with Shocker across time as Kamala discovered how her powers work and with 3 short stories.
Fun, action packed and heartfelt as always.

This volume was not the best in the series. There is a story with the Shocker, two stories about fantasies, and a battle against a broken water main. In other words, nothing much happens in this volume. The characters are still fun, and the art is attractive, but it would be nice if something actually happened.

This volume is full of lots of different adventures for Ms. Marvel. It also wraps up most of the major plot arcs of the series so far – for obvious reasons. On the whole, Kamala’s adventures in this volume are a bit lighter in tone, giving us a chance to relax and get to see more of the character behind the mask.
The conclusion of Ms. Marvel Vol. 10 also marks the end of G. Willow Wilson’s run on the series. I’ll be sad to see them go – what they’ve done for Kamala’s plot and character cannot be ignored, or thanked enough.

Ms. Marvel Vol. 10 was a fun and slightly more casual read. And it was everything I’ve come to expect from Kamala and her series. It’s always been interesting to see how she balances all of the different parts of her life. Plus, her series itself is a balancing act; being both full of powerful moments and cheerful subplots. It’s no wonder I fell so hard to this series; alongside hundreds of other fans, mind you.
There are several main plotlines in this volume, but if I’m being honest? My favorite was probably the silliest one. Kamala is trying so hard to be a normal girl, and that means it’s time for a sleepover. But the universe is never content to let a hero relax. And thus she’s constantly sneaking out of her own sleepover to be a superhero.
What follows is a series of events that can only be described as hilarious. The cameo from Lockjaw is perhaps my favorite, for obvious reasons. But I also adored this plot for the realization that Kamala had at the end of it all. I think this is exactly where Kamala needs to be, at the end of the day. She’s just got to be herself, through and through.
The other plots were interesting and fun too, of course. And enlightening. I never would have guessed at how Kamala’s powers actually work. It’s intriguing, and a subject that I hope will be explored in future issues.

Nico Leon and Ian Herring were the lead artists behind the artwork in Ms. Marvel Vol. 10, and I adore what they did here. As I mentioned above, the first plot in this volume is full of lots of superhero shenanigans. And thus it was probably the most difficult set of scenes to portray. And yet I love what they ended up showcasing.
All things said and done, the artwork behind Ms. Marvel is perfect for the series. It’s light and colorful, and isn’t afraid to show emotions. And let’s not forget all of the powers that had to be represented here.

I’m sad that this run of Ms. Marvel has come to an end. I loved what G. Willow Wilson had been doing here, so it’s always a shame to see something like this end. But that’s the cycle of comic book heroes. At least we get to know that Ms. Marvel continues on in The Magnificent Ms. Marvel. That helps.

Though Ms. Marvel will continue and be written under a different writer, I will really miss Ms. Willow's writing who has brought warmth, culture, humor, and diversity which is much needed in the Marvel Comics.

Though the villains are hokey in this series and not as serious as your traditional comic book, I return time and again to the wonderful characters in this series.
Fittingly we return to the roots of this graphic novel series in this tenth volume. Kamala is tired of leading a double life and finally reveals her superhero identity to her girlfriends at a slumber party which is continuously being interrupted by hijinks, but of course, everyone already knew. A very cute moment. We are also reunited with Kamala's best friend Bruno who has returned from Wakanda as they battle a lesser known Marvel villain named Shocker. This section allows us to examine Kamala's powers from a scientist point of view. I did not completely understand all the sceience behind Kamala's powers but it was nice to see Bruno and Kamala reconnect after several issues being apart and it was also cool to see Professor X make a cameo. I also loved seeing the various future renditions of future Kamala which leaves the door open for Saladin Ahmed to pick up the series under the new title Magnificent Ms. Marvel. There is also a weird time travel trip to 1257 A.D. to discover one of Kamala's Inhuman ancestors, and there’s some "quest game" wormhole story going on that puzzled me, but the important things is that in the end Wilson and crew brought the energy and love that was the cornerstone of the series.
It was also fun to see a lot of people who wrote and contributed to this volume such as such as Hasan Minhaj, Rainbow Rowell and Eve Ewing. Though there were so many writers involved in this volume, I did not notice any problems with tone, character consistency, etc. I will for sure read the new run Magnificent Ms. Marvel, but Wilson's Ms. Marvel will always have a soft spot in my fangirl heart.
