Do you like or Hate the new Muslim Ms. Marvel?

So do you guy like or hate her? Why?

I like her comics they are pretty good, what's funny is I keep get told I cant like her because that makes me anti-America, & anti-Christian for even read her book let alone likening it.

Or how religon shouldn't be in comics at all, witch ticks me off cause nightcrawler is my favorite superhero, & I aways loved the fact marvel had a devoted Christian superhero.

But I don't understand why that means I should dislike the new ms. Marvel?

    I have enjoyed the new Ms. Marvel series. The series reminds me of the Runaways series, and the older Spider-Man comics, when Peter was still a teenager. Kamala's encounters with the Marvel heroes (Wolverine, Inhumans, Spider-Man) have been funny, and has been building up to the inevitable Captain Marvel team-up. I don't see the series as Anti-American and Anti-Christian; if anything, the series is about the typical teenage experience. The main message of the series seem to be that the older generations should not dismiss the new generations because of misconceptions and generalizations.

    Religion have been part of comics for many years. The Daredevil comics are filled with Catholic symbolism (his mother is a nun),The Fantastic Four went to Heaven and met God, and as you mentioned, Nightcrawler was a practicing Catholic priest at one point.

    I absolutely love Kamala. She's such a normal teenager and the writing on her comic is fantastic. I think her background really just serves to make her more interesting, and I think the differences honestly make her easier to relate to. So often people from different ethnic or religious backgrounds get demonized because we don't know anything about them, when the reality is that they're really not that much different. The new Ms. Marvel is Muslim, yes, and her family is Pakistani, but she deals with the same stuff any other teenager does--not fitting in at school, not being allowed to do what the other kids are doing, and dealing with overprotective parents.

    She is awesome, and anyone who thinks liking her means you're anti-American and anti-Christian is an idiot.
