2015 Great Graphic Novel for Teens
Kamala Kahn is your average 16-year-old girl trying to grow up American and Muslim. She's not part of the popular crowd, mostly because her father's strict views on how proper young Muslim ladies should behave. Kamala wants to obey her father but surely one night of fun teenage freedom couldn't hurt right? Wrong! A strange fog suddenly engulfs the city, including the party Kamala was trying to leave. When she awakes Kamala finds herself face to face with her hero- Captain Marvel. Suddenly Kamala has the same super powers as Captain Marvel! She can even change her appearance to look like the blonde haired heroine. Kamala struggles to gain control of her new abilities but once she does she can be a super hero too! Which Kamala finds may not be all it's cracked up to be. Through her good deeds and awkward transformations Kamala begins to see that being Captain Marvel may not be any better than simply being Kamala Kahn.
In an effort to make their graphic novels reach an even broader audience, Marvel is creating Graphic Audio books. These audio comics are similar to audio books in that there is usually only one narrator reading the book but how is that appealing when dealing with graphic novels? Easy you show the images of the book frame by frame along with the voice over. Full length Graphic Audios are in the process of being released and Ms. Marvel is set to be among the first released on August 17th. Below is the trailer for Ms. Marvel vol 1 via Graphic Audio.
