Kamala Khan (a.k.a Ms. Marvel) is stretched too thinliterally. Shes having a hard time balancing schoolwork with being a good friend, being there for her family, becoming the best fanfic writer this side of the Hudson River ... and you know, becoming a Super Hero. Shes tired and just barely keeping control, but shes handling it. Totally. But when a mysterious robot tries to infiltrate Avengers Tower, itll be up to Ms. Marvel to (again, literally) pull herself together, learn to ask for help, and fix the mess shes made before anyone gets hurt!
Praise for Ms. Marvel: Stretched Thin
"Stretched Thin is a moving work for younger readers. The book's action rarely bleeds from panel to panel, and the paneling itself mostly eschews grids to focus on fluid pacing . . . a wondrous book. -- The Av Club, "A" Review
