A dire threat. A dangerous mystery. And only the toughest heroes of the Marvel Universe can save the day! Ms. Marvel is taking matters into her own embiggened hands — but with Krakoan tech compromised, you can bet Wolverine and the X-Men won’t be far behind! The best there is at what he does joins one of the Marvel Universe’s brightest heroes to kick off an action-packed adventure — but to solve this conundrum, Kamala Khan will need to rub shoulders with more dark vigilantes! When a mechanical (and maniacal!) evil brings her into Moon Knight’s orbit, the gravity of what they uncover will require them to plumb the depths of life and death! But can anything prepare Kamala for a team-up with Venom?!
"A full moon, huh? Seems like a bad time to be on the wrong side of a guy named 'Moon Knight.'" -- Ms. Marvel
"It's always a bad time." -- Moon Knight, leaping down to throttle a drug dealer
Recalling the long-running Bronze Age anthology titles Marvel Team-Up (which had Spider-Man partnering with a different superhero each month in a one-shot story) and Marvel Two-in-One (similar to that first title's format, only with the Thing instead), Ms. Marvel: Fists of Justice has the usually solo teenage super-heroine allying with a few big-name and established characters on a connected narrative arc involving hordes of mechanical bugs mysteriously buzzing around New York City. (Oh, that old chestnut of a plot . . . ) While it's not a distinguished storyline - really, it was strictly average at best - Ms. Marvel is such an endearing presence, so her well-meaning ways and introspective thoughts help shoulder the load when she is amusingly paired with such fiercely serious heroes like Wolverine (grouchy father), Moon Knight (benevolent uncle), or Venom (annoyed older brother). Although it was a predictable occurrence - unless this is your absolutely first time reading a graphic novel - it was still a great moment when these traditionally soloist types segue into an effective quartet in the concluding chapter to confront the bad guys and make things right once again.
Ms. Marvel teams up with Wolverine, Venom, and Moon Knight. Honestly, I enjoyed this comic a great deal but you have to work pretty hard to get me to hate anything with Ms. Marvel. Here, Ms. Marvel deals with a mad scientist who wants to acquire her (and other heroes') DNA in order to become immortal. Personally, I think it was a missed opportunity to have her get along with even Venom and I think Moon Knight was stretching it. I suspect she'd be against antiheroes in general.
"Ms. Marvel: Fists of Justice" is a fun read. The plot isn't too complex and the villain is a bit more one-dimensional. The pacing was a bit fast (perhaps a bit too fast), though not excessively fast. However, it's a lot of fun and it captures the essence of Ms. Marvel. I'm a big of hers and I love how this book captures her kindness, intelligence, powers, and fun personality. Plus, it shows how she still gets excited about working with superheroes in spite of being a superhero herself. Houser does a great job in writing from her POV.
I also like the team-ups that Ms. Marvel had. The team-up with grumpy Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men, especially Storm, Rogue, Cyclops, and Jean Grey, was fun. It was also cool seeing her work with Moon Knight. What I like most though was how she worked with Venom. There was more tension between them, especially given how Venom wanted to work alone. He was, not surprisingly, a bit harsh and rude towards her. Yet, as the story progressed, their relationship evolved. They worked well together.
The foes that they faced were tough too. They had to fight against robotic insects. What made them even more challenging was that they could adapt to their enemies. That required a lot of ingenuity, particularly from Ms. Marvel. Plus, the fact that they were all wasp-like did make them a bit creepy, though not overly so (not to the point of going against the fun tone of the story).
I also like the art in this one. I like the designs of the characters and the coloring. The variant covers at the end were awesome too.
Overall, this was a good read. I give it a 3.5/5 (rounded up to a 4). It's a straightforward and quick read with a lot of fun, neat action, cool art, and nice character dynamics. I recommend it for any fan of Ms. Marvel.
Ms. Marvel: Punho da Justiça é uma coleção de três encontros de Kamala Khan com outros três heróis (casca-grossa) da Marvel: Wolverine, Cavaleiro da Lua e Venom. É escrita por Jodi Hauser e desenhada por dois brasileiros: Zé Carlos e Ibrahim Roberson (embora no editorial da Panini só um deles é chamado de brasileiro). Esse encadernado é uma historinha simpática. Não dá pra esperar uma superaventura dele e nem nada profundo, mas é simpático. É bom para dar para uma criança ler ou para alguém que nunca leu quadrinhos de super-heróis, mas conhece os personagens de filmes. Leitores veteranos provavelmente vão odiar e, embora eu seja um leitor veterano, sou mais tolerante que a maioria. Na trama mecanismos que tomam a forma de enxame, de ratos e outras coisas atacam cidadãos de Nova York, e retirando amostras de DNA desses quatro heróis. Somente a união de Kamala com esses heróis poderá impedir essa ameaça e saber de onde é originada e por que está fazendo isso. Simpático.
The Wolverine and Moon Knight issues were good but the Venom issue was a letdown, storywise and when it comes to the art. The proportions were all off.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this being that it seemed like a collection of one shots but it's actually an ongoing story, well a very short one. Ms Marvel is investigating these killer robots and meets various heroes throughout the journey. I liked most of the team ups, both Moon Knight and Venom was hinting to their own books without overloading your brain. The "Wolverine" one was weird because he didn't really feature in it, it was much more of an X-Men crossover. I had a lot of expectations with that due to Ms Marvels recent retcon but they practically ignored her.
It was a decent read and easy, so many Marvel books have some sort of agenda these days, it's just nice to have something that's not ramming something down your throat. You can just read it and pass the time.
"Ms. Marvel: Fists of Justice" is a a slightly tepid action oriented superhero smashup in which Ms. Marvel teams up with a few other Marvel favorites to smash mad science threats to NYC. This book is a fun fast read but it is missing the witty, grrrl powered drive for social justice that generally powers Ms. Marvel stories. As such there is not much to this book other than some moderately engaging pummeling and embiggening.
Kamala teams up with Wolverine, Venom and Moon Knight ("And no one should be scarier than Wolverine, right?") against a swarm of robot critters. I can't decide whether it's disappointing or wholesome that they all seem to be on their best behaviour around her.
Not a groundbreaking story by any stretch, but still an enjoyable read. I love Ms Marvel!! Really did not expect Tetsuo to be name dropped in a Ms Marvel comic either hahaha.
Usually these three-one-shots-tell-one-story type things are mostly just so Marvel get something on the shelves for certain characters, like that Man-Thing story a few months back. Ms. Marvel currently doesn't have an ongoing series (which is a travesty but still), so instead we get Fists Of Justice, three team-up stories that thrust Kamala into action with Wolverine, Moon Knight, and Venom as they attempt to work out what's going on with some blood-stealing bugs.
Surprisingly, these are all very good. Kamala as a hero is always likeable, and even when paired with more stoic or out-and-out grumpy characters like Moon Knight and Wolverine, her sunshine personality blazes through. I also really enjoyed Jody Houser's continuity awareness, using the latest Krakoa storylines as well as Moon Knight's developments in his series to craft her larger narrative. The Venom Kamala teams-up with is even Dylan, instead of Eddie Brock, slotting neatly into the Venom series continuity too.
On art we have Ze Carlos (Wolverine), Dave Wachter (Venom), and Ibraim Roberson (Moon Knight), which is a pretty good line-up. Wachter especially is a favourite of mine after his TMNT work, so I hope this means more of him at Marvel in the near future.
Ms. Marvel may not have her own series at the moment, but she's not going anywhere. This story keeps her firmly entrenched in the Marvel Universe, and with her unlikely team-up friends, she's here kick butts, and take names - nicely, of course.
For any Marvel lovers out there, this book is a great pick up to read. As the story is told in a comic style, there’s still valuable moments to learn. Ms. Marvel has shown to be a fan-favorite amongst others in the Marvel universe and this book has been translated to how great of a super-hero she is. Kamala makes it feel like anyone can be a super-hero, as long as we understand why super heroes do what they do everyday. To make a change that not many can’t. She also shows that she is able to work well as a leader, no matter what the issues may be. Characters such as Moon Knight and Wolverine are presented to be solo heroes but doesn’t find themselves working with teammates all the time. Wolverine might be an exception since he’s considered an Avenger and he’s a key member on the X-Men. But the point is Ms. Marvel is accepting the leadership role and knows how to contain herself to work with others. As for Venom, we know him as a villain, but Kamala sees Venom as a second chance opportunity to do good. Ms. Marvel makes this comic brings the saying that second chances are a beautiful thing. And Venom presents this dearly. The plot might be a bit wonky looking but seeing characters I enjoy on a team makes the comic all the most enjoyable. This comic is definitely a favorite, and highly recommended to read.
When swarms of robotic creatures attack various powered individuals and steal blood samples, Kamala Khan sets out to track down those behind it. On the way she is gleefully pushed into team-ups with the X-Men, Moon Knight and Venom.
Kamala Khan remains one of the best characters Marvel have introduced in the past couple of decades, with her inherent morality, her relatable fangirling and her simple joie de vivre (and Iman Velani is one of the best things in the MCU right now for capturing all of that perfectly). What I particularly liked for this adventure for the teen hero was seeing her team-up with some of the Marvel Universe's most notorious loners, not to mention some of its scariest and most violent anti-heroes. So, whilst it's cool to see Wolverine, Moon Knight and Venom team-up, without Kamala there would be no heart to the story.
The actual threat involved in this story is pretty disposable and the antagonist unremarkable, but the book is carried nicely by the interactions between the title character and her superheroing peers.
Got to keep Kamala Khan in the minds of readers when she doesn't have her own book...
Get her to team-up with three of the major characters in the 616 universe...and tie it in to the Orchis/Xeno/X-Men storyline. Tada! Instant crossover. --- I feel like everybody wants to use Ms. Marvel, but nobody NEEDS Ms. Marvel. She seems tacked on to most stories she's in in the last few years. ===== Bonus: Feels like Ms. Marvel is too gaga for her time with young Cyclops on the Champions Bonus: No, really. She is one Comic Code stamp away naughtiness whenever she mentions him.
Ms. Marvel team-ups that are a part of a cohesive, over-arching story? And that has a positive message about why heroes do what they do? Add into that the fact the heroes she teams up with are more of the "anti-hero" variety, which only strengthens the themes of "what it means to be a hero," and how that definition is more layered with shades of gray than one may at first think? All of that plus solid comic book action? Yes please!
While I generally enjoyed this book...I also didn't quite get why it exists. We have a weird reason contrived to have Ms. Marvel go on a series of adventures facing various tiny robot armies (bugs! rats!) as paired up with different heroes. Then things come together in the end as the supposedly one-off stories lead to a big team-up event of sorts.
But why these heroes? Did they just need help with comic book sales?
Excellent Ms Marvel Team up Episodes with Wolverine, Moon Knight and Venom
Fantastic 3 issue collection of the best team up including Ms Marvel with Wolverine, Moon Knight and Venion. It was action packed and supremely illustrated with great coloured artwork. There were 3 thrilling stories.
These are 3 really simple one-shots to keep Ms. Marvel in the public eye while she doesn't have her own book. She teams up with the X-Men, Moon Knight and Venom to fight some robot bugs that are stealing DNA. This was kind of generic. I honestly expect a little more from Jody Houser because she's typically a great writer.
I need to give up on Ms. Marvel comics. Every time a new one comes out, I give it a chance, but it's always a disappointment. In this case, we have a collection of superhero team-up one shots, and the plots are very thin, with a lot of dull messages about What It Means To Be A Hero dashed on top.
Eh. I like the way Kamala is written here, and I was pleasantly surprised by her dynamic with Moon Knight. But the story is really thin, to the point where I kind of wish Houser hadn't bothered, just written three unconnected stories instead.
I've recently become a Jody Houser fan, but I didn't feel that this miniseries (or collection of connected one-shots?) captured the heart and soul of Kamala Khan (but I guess there wasn't room for that). Still, it was a serviceable story.
Espero que el relanzamiento de Ms Marvel como mutante mejore el nivel de las historias, ya que tanto esta ultima como Beyond the limit y el pauperrimo papel en Amazing Spider-Man, tocaron fondo.
