Ms. Marvel #18

Speaking of Wakanda and Black Panther, yes he does make an appearance, overseeing the real reveal of the issue: wrapped up within their attitudes and their tech, the people of Wakanda have grown attached to their weird American. So Bruno's going to stay a while. Maybe we'll keep getting these glimpses of his life as interludes between Kamala's arcs. Maybe we're seeing a new super genius teen team-up develop in Bruno and Kwezi. Either way, you'll enjoy this stand-alone issue for Ms. Marvel. There's no previous knowledge about Wakanda required. Just sit back and let Wilson do what she does best — tell a perfect tale in under 32 pages. Read Full Review

Overall, Ms. Marvel #18 does a good job at giving an opportunity to explore one of Kamala's supporting characters, but with Bruno's emotional arc only touching the surface, the issue can't help but feeling a little bit like filler. Read Full Review

This issue started and didn't feel OK and the art was different by somewhere toward the end i really liked it and the art was actually a nice fit!

Bruno's adventures involve vibranium theft, a Black Panther cameo, and an awesome power of friendship moment. True, this issue features an almost-complete lack of Kamala, but it's still damned brilliant. Bruno is feeling very sorry for himself for very sensible reasons - his injuries are serious, permanent, and likely to get worse over time. But his roommate Kwezi refuses to let him brood and the boys' caper ends up prodding Bruno toward re-engagement with the world. A filler issue? Yes, indubitably. But unless you absolutely rebel at reading about Bruno without Kamala, this comic is sure to delight. Guest artist Francesco Gaston does an excellent job of bringing to life a vibrant and distinctive Wakanda that meshes well with other contempo rary books without feeling like a swipe or a retread. more

This is one of the cases where the cover lies to you. While it calls back to a previous cover where Bruno and Kamala revealed their true feelings for each other, the book covers nothing of the like. It involves Bruno's life in Wakanda after leaving New Jersey. There is no involvement of Kamala at all. It is possible that we could lead into Bruno rethinking his decision to leave, but that is unknown at the time. The story itself of Bruno trying to gain favor by helping a classmate is almost out of character, but worth it for the end reveals. It does what the title often does best and makes you rethink social norms. The art does a good job of complimenting the story. We also get to see a character that will likely continue to appear. This is a decent job overall, but not an issue that will likely make list. more

After last issue's emotional start, this is a bit of a break. It'll be forever known as The Bruno Issue...a fun side adventure with a special guest star. Serviceable art, dialogue, and such... Not bad.

FILLER ISSUE!!!! So we all were wondering how Bruno was doing in his new local, well we found out the answer. Very meh-ly Bruno is one of those guys who has the smarts to change the world but can't get over the fact that the world screwed him over. I wasn't a of Gaston's art but Wilson carries the load with a good FILLER story.

Definitely a filler issue, but it was a pleasant, fast read with some interesting happenings in the distant land of Wakanda.

The cover is misleading and the story is ok, with warm ending, but nothing great.

Filler issue with a misleading cover. Does nothing to address the rift between Bruno and Kamala. When it comes to solo Bruno tales, I just don't care.
