We’ve not been shy about our love of Kamala Khan, Marvel’s
new Ms. Marvel, teenager, Pakistani-American, Muslim, and New Jersey-ite. Indeed, we
may have mentioned it here, here or here. So we’re super-excited to finally
get to read the first issue, written by G. Willow Wilson, and drawn by Runaways’ Adrian Alphona — and hopefully
you are too, because it hits comic stores tomorrow.
