"I started reading this thinking that Ms. Marvel is basically the Wonder Woman of the Marvel U. As I read this I thought more about how abused and neglected as a character she is. Then as I read this, she comes across as a 2nd or 3rd tier character. She's dealing with personal issues that make her sound like a unstable woman in a rom-com. The book itself starts off post- House of M and introduces us to her nemesis, Traveler. He's a magic based character and I've never heard of him. He defense in the first issue is throwing a cat at him. This is recalled several times in the book almost as if the writer realized this was a ridiculous idea in the first place. About the most interesting thing that happens is she fights the Brood. She's constantly seeking/getting help from other characters in the Marvel U. So why can't she stand on her own? Why can't she take care of things herself? Why is she so underused? I quit caring about her as a character and just wanted to finish. I didn't HATE the book but I didn't care about her when I finished."
"One would think that a character with the same name as the company would have quite a prominent position, but until now that hasn't been the case. Beautifully illustrated stories telling stories of a character who should be very important in the Marvel Universe. Ms. Marvel is a hero who has been through a lot and is still trying to deal with the baggage that that entails. A very entertaining collection of stories."
"In the alternate-reality House of M, Ms. Marvel was the biggest hero on earth. But in the regular Marvel Universe, she's an also-ran. The most notable moment in her career was probably when she lost all her powers to the X-Men's Rogue. Now, she's trying to dust off her recent problems, and become a big time superhero. Ms. Marvel didn't seem like a character that deserved her own series, but Brian Reed does an excellent job writing it. He gives the heroine a very believable motivation that will probably carry on through future stories (the next volume gets sidetracked in a Civil War crossover). He also uses parts of her history (she battles the alien Brood once more), and has just the right amount of humor. The covers by Frank Cho are great, and the interior art is also solid."
"Ms. Marvel is quickly becoming one of my favorite hero. That said, this is a good telling of what she was doing post-House of M. Basically, she was a total loser who couldn't get the time of day from anyone. She gets involved in a huge incident and becomes relevant again, but doesn't quite know how to handle it. Carol Danvers is someone who reminds me of Tony Stark, in the way that she is constantly getting screwed in her personal life because of her alter ego, and often spirals down as a result. I think that makes the superhero more likable, the more flawed they're shown to be. And she is a mess. It ends with a good cliffhanger into the Civil War storyline, which for Ms. Marvel, only gets better. But if you read this, read House of M first. Otherwise, it's kind of hard to follow."
