Kamala is still trying to figure how to help her heroine, Captain Marvel, but once that her methods start hurting some of her friends, she will realize she needs to find another way.
Okay, I understand the themes of this plot but I don't think they worked quite well.
For one, G. Willow Wilson continues to exploit the premise of Civil War II, particularly the ideas about profiling which are connected to Kamala's universe. For example we see that one of Kamala's friends, a teenage white male, is automatically arrested because he's suspect of almost burning their school due that his girlfriend recently left him and we see Kamala automatically and correctly declaring that this is pretty much the same stuff that her people and many others suffer simply because of their races. This could have presented a pretty balanced and accurate view of how judging people because of their appearances is wrong and it seemed like it was going that way.
THE PROBLEM is that the guy truly was culprit of the things they were accusing him of. Sure, he didn't want to hurt anyone but he wanted to scare people because of the reasons already mentioned. Because of that reason some of the message is lost since it seems like the people who were profiling him were actually right. This could have worked much better if everything would have been just a misunderstanding and I don't want to accuse the writer of anything but it seems like the fact that he was a white male was the only reason why he needed to look bad.
Other than that, the plot and characterization are solid with some interesting developments here and there.
Adrian Alphona and Takeshi Miyasawa handle the flashback and present segments respectively and their styles fit perfectly with the tone of the book as you would expect.
I think this story had the potential to be pretty strong but unfortunately some biases got the best of it.
