Creator Credits for Ms. Marvel (season 1, 2022)

The Kamala Khan version of Ms. Marvel debuted after I stopped working for Marvel Comics so I'd previously read only her first trade paperback. To do credit to this list, I had to read the entire run of G. Willow Wilson's Ms. Marvel comics. That was no hardship since she wrote some mighty fine stories.

I am disappointed, though, that the TV series changed Kamala's powers; I always loved that Kamala wound up with powers nothing like Carol Danvers' but based her Ms. Marvel identity on her anyway because Carol was her idol; the TV series version gives her light-energy powers, making her a regular Captain Marvel Jr. That's less interesting - I prefer Wilson's version, where her powers have nothing to do with fate, destiny or corporate synergy. Heck, even Red Dagger - a character who in the comics explicity says he's not in a secret society - is made part of a secret society for television. *sigh* Tired old TV tropes.

Check out my full list of Marvel Cinematic Universe creator credits here and let me know of any corrections.
