Read this because I heard of Marvel's initiative to create better, more rounded female characters (who aren't scantily clad) and from diverse backgrounds. I enjoyed this comic immensely, and I'm happy to jump on board with a series from it's #1. I like comic books, but am always get perplexed trying to figure out where to start on a series. I'll definitely be reading this one. Hurrah for Kamala, the Pakistani-American teenager - she's already a great character and I can't wait to see where this goes.
