Short, sweet, fun.

Go Kamala go!

[Elina Gomberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kamala has to deal with the results of her actions as she helped Captain Marvel. She decides that the best way to sort things out is a vacation in her other home. What a touching issue, filled with insights and some action.

Loved seeing Kamala go back to Pakistan and experience what every diaspora kid feels - you’re too Pakistani for the West but too Western for Pakistan!

Great jumping on point for new readers!!!

Great one and done issue. And a pretty good backup story about the Red Widow. I hope she gets her series soon.

I absolutely love seeing Kamala with her family, but this issue was kinda thin and short. I guess she's been in dire need of a break since the last issue though.

THE COSTUME GUYS CHANGE THE ORIGINAL TO This ONEEEE YES!

[Chris Conley · Rating 5 out of 5]

We could all use more Ms. Marvel.

Kamala is drifting. After what happened with Bruno and Captain Marvel she's confused and unsure of the roughy direction to take. But even on vacation visiting family she can't help but feel out of place.

Being caught between two worlds is something many people deal with and we get a short insight into that world here.

Kamala can't ignore who she is and what she stands for. Hopefully she'll continue to learn and find a way to make everything fit.

Grandmas always have a way to spit wisdoms. I miss mine so much.

This really needed to be longer to explore all the issues raised. A couple of spots of dialogue felt off, but I'm looking forward to a new story arc.

3.5/5

[Halls · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super short but I loved it, especially her improvised costume. And Kareem!

[Magali · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably one of my favorite issues eventhough there isn't a lot of action in it. I love it when these comics adress what being an immigrant means.

[Jelke Lenaerts]

I liked that this took place in Pakistan but I kind of feel like not much happened in this issue and I also wish we got more of Kamala in Pakistan than just this issue.

Red dagger is that youu????

[Solace Winter · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was exactly what Kamala needed.

[Goodreader121 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish if she stayed here a bit longer

[Fran · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's disappointing that only one issue is spent in Karachi because the issues that were touched on in this issue weren't given nearly enough room to be properly explored. A shame, but looking forwards to a new story arc back in NJ.

[Kendall H · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was very happy with this one. It was nice to see Kamala in Karachi, adding to her well-rounded character. It was also fun to see a new superhero in Pakistan, to give a global view of heroes. I suspect her friend was the hero, but it never said - so maybe it'll come up again later.

Back to the roots.

[Jill G. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed Kamala being in Karachi, and wish she was given more time there!

[Anie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun interlude: Kamala goes to Karachi, and is reminded deeply of the importance of knowing the people around you.

[Sara (A Gingerly Review) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one got to me. Am I the only one?

[Hayley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this issue, I wish it was a longer arc!
