anthimeriaMs. Marvel #1 came out today!
I have all the good news on the first Pakistani-American teenage girl to head her own superhero title at one of the mainstream houses.
--I showed up to buy the comic not four hours after my LCS opened and they were already OUT. I lucked out and one of the employees let me buy me their copy.
--The book is only $2.99, which is a huge relief for me since a monthly at $3.99 is a little beyond my budget ATM. (Don't get me wrong, I'd buy it at $3.99, but a dollar is a dollar is actually slightly more than a dollar once you account for tax.)
--The book is hilarious, engaging, well-written and well-drawn/inked/colored from moment one. I opened the issue on my way back to my car and the very first series of panels made me laugh.
--This is the first time in a long time I felt like an issue of anything was actually worth the price I paid for it.
Kamala Khan FTW, all. I can't wait for next month.
(Especially since there's an EVIL CLIFFHANGER!)
