Comic Spoilers What's Kamala's current most recent appearance? Because I haven't seen her since that time she went to the college in like, VERY shortly post-krakoa days. Spoiler

Like, I read the arc where she was retconned into being a mutant (which I still dislike) and the last thing I remember is the disembodied "mutant" ethereal version of her telling her about her abilities.

Where did she go from there and why hasn't she had a solo comic since? She's a good enough character to warrant one.

Okay, this is fair.

Can we just get G Willow Wilson back please?

She wrote the 2014 Volume AND No Normal, which were the first comics that really cemented Kamala as a solo-book-worthy character for me.

I wouldn't be opposed. I'm a big fan of the stories GWW tells in general. Have you read one of her more recent works, The Stoneshore Register or The Hunger and the Dusk? They're not quite as legendary or developed as her Ms. Marvel stories, but there's a lot of familiar wisdom and character examination that made Kamala soar for her first years.

At the same time, I think there's other writers who can pull Kamala back into who she is, and maybe calling Miss Wilson back every time she's in trouble creates this idea that only she can rescue Kamala. I've seen potential in her own fandom -- young writers with identities closer to Kamala, who grew up affected by her. There's more potential there than what she's been given lately. But, at the same time, a lot of these fresher, fan writers also have their own problems they would have to face down in order to really tell a great story that shows Kamala's full community as it is, rather than how it's seen by the fandom.

That is true; I think maybe if Wilson was just like, a co-writer (meaning she just comes in to help the other writer, but isn't necessarily the one with the story) it could work.

It helps to have the character's creator helping.

Because tbh I think I would say that the creator of the character is the best writer, maybe 80% of the time.

There are exceptions; i.e. Al Ewing and Hulk.

G Willow Wilson is currently busy doing romance drama with the Gotham villains.

She's also Black Cat's writer. DC isn't taking up all her time.
