Kamala Khan’s debut as Ms. Marvel gives Marvel a hero whose power fantasy is inseparable from family, faith, school, fandom and self-doubt. G. Willow Wilson writes her as funny, awkward and brave without turning identity into a slogan; the run works because Kamala feels like a person before she feels like a symbol.

Before Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel, she was Ms. Marvel — and her origin is one of the most significant in Marvel history. Gerry Conway wrote the character's debut series, establishing the framework of a hero who would eventually become one of Marvel's most important figures after decades of evolution. This omnibus collects the foundational Ms. Marvel material including Carol's debut and origin as a superhero, her early adventures establishing her powers, rogues gallery, and supporting cast.
