This book needs more Machine Man. Especially since it’s Nextwave-Era Machine Man.
Ms. Marvel is growing on me. Since the events of House of M, where she saw herself as the premiere hero on Earth in that alternate reality, Carol Danvers has been giving her all to become just that.
Agent Sum, Machine Man, Arana and Sleepwalker are good additions to her team, just the right mix of weirdness and humor, with Sum keeping things under control.
This issue features a SURPRISE ENDING THAT WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD AND THE MARVEL UNIVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
Ok, it doesn’t. Just wanted to type that up once.
But the ending is a surprise. And it did come as quite the shock. Leads in perfectly to Secret Invasion. Pick it up, see if I’m wrong.

Is this the Ms Marvel book or is this a special mini called Ms Marvel Vs The Brood? You’ve sufficiently tickled my ass with a feather. I now want to buy it.

It’s the Ms. Marvel book.
It’s actually been quite enjoyable; Carol Danvers is one of the more successful “human” heroes (and by that I mean with foibles and concerns that make the reader better able to relate to her.)
This last arc brought the Brood Queen back; and it was very enjoyable. Especially since Nextwave-era Machine Man is in the book. (That started with the previous arc, about the Puppet Master having a super-heroine sex-slave ring in South America.)

Holy Christ…super-heroine sex slave rings in South America you say? Okay I’m going to have to find some trades or back issues or something.

Yeah, it really makes C-lister Puppet Master a heinous villain.

I couldn’t find it anywhere so I did evil things, and now I’m just about caught up to issue 24 on Ms Marvel. F*** I missed out a decent book for the most part. Who knew someone could actually make Ms Marvel interesting though?
