In a way, it feels like the Marvel Cin- ematic Universe (MCU) we all know and love, but it also came off real and true to the comics. For exa m p l e , b e fo re t h i s Avengers game, I honest- ly didn’t know who the character of Kamala Khan or Ms. Marvel truly was.

Insomniac not only writes their characters well, but they transition them into our existence through the conduit of fiction towing with them a strong kernel of life. The proposal of tak- ing a younger character, such as Kamala, and putting a spotlight of rep- resentation on her was an achievement in itself. Marvel and Square should understand the praise they truly deserve for tak- ing on a character who is a M u s l i m P a k i s t a n i capped with terrific voice Photo courtesy of Square Enix dailyplanetdc.com @DailyPlanetDC | 3 News December 11, 2020
