Funny / Ms. Marvel (2016)

• Issue #1
  • In Bruno's flashback about meeting his girlfriend, Michaela, the graffiti on the wall reads "Bruno & Mike meet cute".
  • And the fact that Kamala didn't find out about this until just recently because she was too busy fighting the same damn giant frog over and over.
  • Loki's lightning golems are staying around. By the time of issue 1, we can see one walking around with a leaf on its head drinking a smoothie, another one with a bowler hat working as a crossing guard, and another one with a top hat just standing in the background. Nobody bats an eye.
• Issue #3
  • When Kamala's attempt to save her public image backfires after outing Hope Yards, Bruno tries to cheer her up.
  Bruno: Would you literally kill me if I said you're the hero Jersey City deserves?
  Kamala: Yes, I would literally kill you.
• Issue #5: Kamala and Bruno work on figuring out how to get rid of the Kamala clones on the school's All New All Different Science Lab.
  • The meeting between Amir and Tyeesha's families is hilariously awkward, and that's before "Kamala" melts.
• Issue #6:
  • Bruno is suggesting that they make a giant dinosaur to eat all the clones. Kamala immediately asks if he already did.
  Bruno: "I... might... have?"

  • Also in this issue Loki helps. Lampshaded by this exchange between him and Captain Marvel:
  Captain Marvel: ... And what do you call this?
  Loki: Helping. I was helping!
  • The attempt to summon Loki in the first place was a mixed success. Bruno and Mike carried out a ritual which was no good whatsoever. Luckily Loki had been watching the place through a spell and simply enjoyed them making fools of themselves for half an hour before turning up.
• Issue #7 features a hammy Science Battle between Kamala's school and the students from Miles Morales' school. It escalates to the point where Bruno tries to one-up the Brooklyn students by using a literal miniature Fusion Reactor, which promptly explodes.
  • Just the fact that a miniature fusion reactor is being used as a school science project, which takes Reed Richards Is Useless up to eleven.
• Issue #25:
  • When Ms. Marvel takes a sudden leave of absence, Kamala's friends band together to create the illusion that she's still on patrol. It starts with Mike fumbling from rooftop to rooftop and knocking out a petty robber, dressed in the black and white stripes with a bag with a dollar sign on it, with a giant inflatable fist.
  • Zoe boasts that she's stronger thanks to doing Crossfit. Shortly after she can be seen straining to lift something in the background.
  • Later it's Zoe's turn, and when Red Dagger shows up to confront her over not being the real Ms. Marvel, she replies, "I have a confession to make, Red Dagger. I've been a white girl this whole time." Then, moments later, their conversation is interrupted by an elderly man screaming at the top of his lungs while very, very slowly driving past them on a Rascal.
• Issue #28:
  • Kamala's first real meeting with Carol Danvers since Civil War II is temporarily interrupted by Kamala getting sick after being electrocuted. Carol later ribs on her for not upgrading her costume for electrocutions.
  • An army of senior citizens pinning down the Inventor and suggesting they take her to "the lady with the red hair in the tower"^note Medusa
• Issue #29:
  • Pretty much everything Kweni says when milking the "exploring the culture of a foreign country" gag for all it's worth.
  • Zoe swooning over the new girl Kaylee, who seems determined to become the school's new Alpha Bitch, and Nakia's reaction to it:
  Nakia: Wow. She is really —
  Zoe: (starstruck) — pretty.
  Nakia: No, Zoe. Absolutely not.
  Zoe: But —
  Nakia: You are not allowed to have a crush on a snob.
  Zoe: But —
  Nakia: Fight it, Zoe!
  • Followed by Bruno's confusion at all this, and Zoe's offhand explanation: "I'm gay. I'm not vegan anymore, though. That was a phase."
  • Sheikh Abdullah's over-the-top reaction to Kamala's panic about her teen drama is absolutely priceless. One gets the feeling that after decades of mentoring young people, he's pretty much Seen It All.
  -Kamala: I'VE KISSED A BOY AND I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH A DIFFERENT ONE!
  Sheikh Abdullah: You did what?!
  Kamala: It's true! I kissed a boy in public and then I found out I might still be in love with my ex-best friend! I don't even know what's going on right now!
  Sheikh Abdullah: (freaking out) Istaghfirullah! This is a homemade catastrophe!
  Kamala: (scared) It is?!
  Sheikh Abdullah: The end of the entire world! We have to call your parents! The local newspapers! The haram police!
  Kamala: (near-panic) We do?!
  Sheikh Abdullah: (suddenly calm) I'm kidding. Have a seat and let's talk about it. I will bring some tea.
  (Kamala stares at him, dumbfounded.)
• Issue #31:
  • The entire mini-plot with Lockjaw and his teleporting kitten friend is both adorable and ridiculous.
• Issue #32:
  • Kamala's powers start going haywire, and Bruno finds her shrunk down to about four inches in size.
    Bruno: Can you control it at all?
    Kamala: No! It's like I've taken on a mind of my own! Wait, that's not what I meant—
  • The sight of Shocker casually strolling through Jersey City, enjoying how nobody knows how to handle an actual established supervillain as he blasts everybody away with his gauntlets.
  • This is followed up by Kamala's glitching powers causing her to shrink out of sight before she can take Shocker into custody.
    Shocker: Wait a minute. What just happened? Was there a fight? Did I win? (triumphant pose) I am invincible in New Jersey.
• Issue #33:
  • Kamala's powers short out and she stretches out uncontrollably while Shocker simply stands there watching.
    Shocker: You know, this really lacks the kind of drama and pathos I've come to expect from epic battles of good verses evil.
  • Shocker later acting like a diabolical mastermind while operating out of what is essentially an overgrown child's tree fort.
    Shocker: Hello again, Ms. Marvel. I see you found my aboveground lair.
