blacknerdproblems:

A truly pivotal scene in this issue had me holding my breathe as my eyes
first landed on the panel where the Ms Marvel creative team first show
us a glimpse of Tyesha (LOVING HER NAME, BTW!), a young woman who Aamir
knows as she is surrounded by three men and questioned. I don’t have to
tell you of all the gross examples of islamophobia been seen online and
off for you to know that is is a jarring reality for many Muslims here
in the U.S. and in other countries. (On a related topic, Malala
Yousafzai had a great smackdown word wise regarding the toxic
islamophobic views of Donald Trump which you can check out here) The Khan siblings had every right to be worried and bust onto the scene thinking of the worst, prepared to defend Tyesha.

And that’s what Ms. Marvel does best: we’ve been given  a superhero with
actual relatable problems. Actual relatable issues that we may be
seeing in our neighborhoods and communities. The way the story was able
to switch from what I was hoping wasn’t possible harassment of Tyesha to
effortlessly back to the topic of gentrification and how it was
continuing to plague where Kamala calls home done quite well. Pair that
with all the small problems on her plate and a fun art style that
carries the story along, it works. It works in this renumbering of the
issues in the series where we have a fresh-faced Super hero who we still
love and are still excited to see.
