How to Read the ‘Ms. Marvel’ Comics in Order
She embiggens my soul.
The next entry into the MCU premieres next month on Disney Plus. Ms. Marvel will tell the story of Kamala Khan (not Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers) and her fun adventures becoming a teenage superhero. Created by Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona, and Jamie McKelvie, Kamala debuted in 2013 and was the first Muslim character to headline a Marvel comic book. Unlike many other characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Khan has a relatively short comic history.
With that in mind, it is entirely possible to read every comic book featuring Ms. Khan before the show comes out. Now, there already is some controversy over Kamala’s power changes, but I am hoping they keep the core character the same. In the comics, Kamala is so adorable and nerdy you can’t help but love her. Plus, she is a fangirl who writes superhero fanfiction so many of us can relate.
Here is a list of Kamala Khan’s major appearances in order, so you can fall in love too.
