Wonder Woman is Not Just a Great DCEU Film, It’s a Great Film
Thanks to a wonderful moment at Wonder Con (meeting Patty Jenkins at a Wonder Woman meet-up), I had the opportunity to attend the premiere of Wonder Woman in Los Angeles, California on May 25th. If you follow me on social media, you already know I LOVED the movie. But due to the review embargo, I couldn’t tell you why I loved it so much. Now I can! Read Meghan's thoughts on the new Wonder Woman film, spoiler free.

Kamala Khan and Ms. Marvel #1
Ms. Marvel #1 came out on Wednesday. Have you read it? Do you know why it’s big news? Ms. Marvel #1 (created by Sana Amanat, written by G. Willow Wilson, art by Adrian Alphona and Ian Herring) starts with Kamala savoring the scent of bacon and a friend’s yoda-like joke about eating it or not and not smelling it. Kamala is a normal teenage girl struggling to fit in and live up to her parents’ expectations while also finding her own way. She writes fanfic and argues with her parents. She struggles with the differences that set her part, some coming from her religious beliefs. As such, she is no different from anyone else. And that really is the point here. She may be Muslim, and her religion certainly defines her in some ways, but mostly she’s just another person trying to find where she fits in the world. much like every one of us.
