For this weeks reading I read the issues of the re-imagined Ms. Marvel comic books. I thought this was a refreshing new way to look at comics in general. This book gives us an insight to not only life as a women, but does something that is very rare in mass produced comics, we see a look at women in a different culture, and religion. This alone makes it interesting as it gives us a new look at what it is like to be an immigrant or in the characters case the child of an immigrant. It is also is interesting to see how the women in a culture that typically suffer from gender inequality, live and act in a culture that is sometimes almost the exact opposite.
We also get a unique look into the life of a teenager in this demographic. This is also unique as we see someone who is caught between the strict traditions and religious beliefs of her family, and the pop culture of America which she grew up with and finds so interesting. This will probably help keep this series alive.
