Ms. Marvel #15

The cover of this 2015 issue brings a refreshing change of pace — Kamala Khan, in her Ms. Marvel costume, stands in what looks like a busy school hallway, caught mid-conversation with a smiling young man in a green sweater while a skeptical-looking friend watches from just behind them. Kris Anka's warm, character-driven cover art captures the very relatable tension of teenage social life colliding with superhero responsibilities, right as "Crushed" wraps up its third and final chapter. With G. Willow Wilson writing and Takeshi Miyazawa on art, this series continues to balance heart and heroism in a way that feels genuinely unlike anything else in the Marvel lineup.
