1* General:
2** It's Kamala's expressions that really make a lot of these [=CMoF=] moments. She can make the most amazing faces, even without her powers.
3** Sprinkled throughout all the issues are {{funny background event}}s that are inserted onto various background items.
4* ''All-New Marvel Now Point One'':
5** Kamala's reaction when her mother calls to tell her off for being late to her cousin's pre-wedding party. Most of us have been there.
6** "Some people get to hide out in space stations. I get a Circle Q."
7* Issue #1:
8** The very first page of issue #1 is Kamala [[ForbiddenFruit smelling the bacon sandwiches]] at the local convenience store.
9---> '''Kamala''': Delicious, delicious infidel meat...
10** Kamala writes Avengers fan fiction, specifically about them saving Planet Unicorn from a giant evil dragon. Her mother Aisha doesn't seem to get it, though:
11---> '''Aisha''': Fan feek... what is fan feek?!
12** When Kamala's vision of Captain Marvel asks her what she wants, Kamala states that [[TemptingFate she wants to be her]]:
13--->'''Kamala''': Except I would wear the classic, politically incorrect costume and kick butt in ''[[CombatStilettos giant wedge heels]]''.\
14'''Captain Marvel''': You must have some kind of weird boot fetish.
15** There's something to be said about her wondering if she's getting drunk off of a single sip of vodka.
16** And, of course, there's the fact that her vision has birds with hats representing some Avengers not shown directly, like Wolverine and [[{{WesternAnimation/SouthPark}} ... Kyle and Stan]]???
17* Issue #2:
18** While she's trying to learn to use her powers, she finds an easy method by [[CallingYourAttacks calling out what she wants to happen]]. Thus, we get her attempts to grow in size ("Embiggen!") and revert to normal ("''Dis''embiggen!"), which she shouts with the same kind of force as the ''other'' [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]].
19** Another attempt at using her powers.
20--->'''Kamala''': I wonder if I can do it again, this time on purpose. '''[[ByThePowerOfGreySkull TRANSFORM!!!!]]'''\
21''*{{beat panel}}*''\
22'''Kamala''': Nope.
23** When Kamala discovers that she can shrink in size, she admits that it's actually pretty cool... and promptly runs away screaming when she turns to face a now-giant cockroach staring back at her.
24** As a call-back to her wish to wear "the classic, politically incorrect costume and kick butt in [[CombatStilettos giant wedge heels]]", Kamala discovers the likely reason why Carol stopped wearing that outfit.
25--->'''Kamala''': ...But the hair gets in my face, the boots pinch, and this leotard is giving me an ''epic wedgie!''
26** Aamir's first response to Kamala stating something weird happened is to make sure she's OK. His second is to make plans to get a lynch mob together to hunt down whoever hurt her. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
27** In the course of blaming Yusuf for Kamala's misbehavior, Aisha lets slip her opinion that Aamir also "''dresses like a penniless mullah''", leading to [[http://37.media.tumblr.com/7f598ecb25085e3f54a15b2848432350/tumblr_n3siis2UAg1qgc68to2_1280.jpg a shared sibling moment with Aamir pinching the bridge of his nose and groaning "Here we go again" while Kamala facepalms.]]
28* Issue #3:
29** After an initial panic at her power spontaneously manifesting[[note]]ironically, while researching it![[/note]], Kamala manages to get it under control while in an empty locker room -- after which she experiments successfully with "''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever embiggening]]''" herself, and a measure of superstrength[[note]]though possibly still proportional to herself[[/note]]; Kamala's experiment with intentionally shapeshifting herself into someone else ''besides'' Carol Danvers on the other hand...
30--->'''Kamala''': *seeing her mother in the mirror* Okay. I was totally going for Taylor Swift. This is getting ''Freudian''.
31** When [[spoiler:a hold-up is committed at the Circle Q]], Kamala's first attempted response is calling 911... only for her ACME-brand smartphone to declare "''LOL no battery''".
32* Issue #4
33** Wearing a sleep-mask with eyeholes cut into them to hide her face, Kamala's claims of being Ms. Marvel are met with doubt by a policeman.
34-->'''Policeman''': This supposed to be a prank or something, kid? Cause you sure don't look like Ms. Marvel to me.
35-->'''Kamala''': What's Ms. Marvel supposed to look like?
36-->'''Policeman''': You know. Tall, blonde, with the big... *makes a groping gesture* '''[[MostCommonSuperpower powers]]'''.
37-->'''Kamala''': Oh. Okay. Well-- *grows giant* '''I've''' got big powers.
38-->'''Policeman''': *in awe* All right. All right. I believe you.
39** Her borderline cat smile only adds to the whole situation. AscendedFangirl all the way.
40** Kamala uses a burkini (a miniskirt and leotard made for swimming in) to create her prototype costume, which includes white sneakers, a black eye mask, and a fanny-pack that acts as her utility belt.
41** Just the fact that Kamala's costume is made from a swimsuit, considering the tendency for female heroes' costumes to resemble them anyway.
42*** And that this swimsuit is ''way'' less Striperiffic than pretty much any other female superhero costume (as befitting Muslim traditions about modesty).
43* Issue #5
44** The mechanical spider-like "kitties" that Kamala fights are decked out in all kinds of accessories, such as sunglasses, wigs, and silly hats. One even sports a flower-dotted paintjob.
45** During Kamala's TrainingMontage:
46-->''(Shrunken Kamala is in a gerbil cage)''
47-->'''Bruno''': I'm gonna have nightmares about this.
48-->'''Kamala''' ''(with a grossed-out expression)'': '''You're''' not the one staring at super-sized '''gerbil poop'''. When was the last time you cleaned poor Chunky's cage?
49** Look ''really'' close at [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/6b7ee7e585111f291570127e78739106/tumblr_ng0tmgh4ft1rljmzwo1_1280.jpg a certain sauce bottle]] in the Khans' kitchen after her parents discover her.
50* Issue #6
51** On the cover Kamala is in costume sitting on the stairs of a bank using one hand to check her phone while stretching her other arm to deliver an OffhandBackhand to a robber.
52** Kamala's reaction to Wolverine flipping over her. "[[MemeticMutation Wow. Such Athletic. Very Claws. So Amaze.]]"
53** Kamala meeting Wolverine and going into full-blown fangirl mode, much to ol' Logan's misery. The conversation is especially funny when she talks about her fanfic
54-->'''Kamala''': My ''Wolverine-and-Storm-in-space'' fanfic was the third-most upvoted story on Freaking Awesome last month! I had you guys fighting this giant alien blob that farts wormholes.\
55'''Wolverine''': [''casually''] Sounds great, kid. [''{{beat}}''] Wait--what was the ''most'' upvoted story?\
56'''Kamala''': Ummm.... ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/EmmaFrost's romantic vacation in Paris?\
57'''Wolverine''': [''irritated''] This is the worst day of my life.
58** He does start warming up to her, though, when the topic of healing factors gets brought up.
59-->'''Wolverine''': I '''did''' have a "healing factor". I '''don't''' anymore.
60-->'''Kamala''': Oh my God. You're actually '''hurt'''.
61-->'''Wolverine''': I'm actually hurt.
62-->'''Kamala''': So like... now you're just a short, angry man who punches stuff?
63-->'''Wolverine''' ''(smiling)'': I knew I liked you the minute I saw you.
64* Issue #7
65** The funny starts with the cover again: We see Kamala's phone presumably from her viewpoint as she takes a selfie with a disgruntled-acting Wolverine, Kamala grinning with an arm around Logan's shoulders while he has his arms folded as he glowers at the camera.
66** At the end of the story, Wolverine takes a cell-phone photo of Kamala demolishing a gyro while flashing a peace sign and forwards it to Captain America. He then shows it to Queen Medusa.
67-->'''Captain America''': Logan says this one is different. Special.
68-->'''Medusa''': They're all special.
69-->'''Captain America''': Not special enough for a phone call from a guy who's famous for not liking people. She must have made an impression.
70** Kamala and Wolverine have some hilarious exchanges:
71-->'''Ms. Marvel:''' This is like those horror movies my parents wouldn't let me watch.
72-->'''Wolverine:''' If you never watched 'em, how do you know what they're like?
73-->'''Ms. Marvel:''' Hellooo, it's called having an imagination.
74-->'''Wolverine:''' The worst thing you can imagine is a giant alligator in an old subway tunnel?
75-->'''Ms. Marvel:''' I guess so.
76-->'''Wolverine:''' Your parents deserve a medal.
77* Issue #8
78** The cover has poor Kamala hanging onto Lockjaw for dear life as he chases a butterfly.
79** Not only does Lockjaw make his first appearance in the issue wearing a sign bigger than Kamala's head declaring that "''HELLO My name is LOCKJAW I LIKE HUGS''"... but ''she brings him home and asks her parents to let her keep him''! The sign is funnier in hindsight if you remember the ending of #7, which had Medusa preparing to send Lockjaw to greet Kamala. Implying that Medusa herself is the one who wrote that sign.
80* On the panel revealing Lockjaw, there's a bent sign behind them that reads: [[CantYouReadTheSign Do Not Kick Sign]].
81** Kamala's family's reactions:
82-->'''Aisha ("''Ammi''")''': *aghast* ''Everything'' is bigger in America... even the canines...\
83'''Aamir''': It's your funeral. I'll try to talk ''Ammi''[[note]]mom[[/note]] and ''Abu''[[note]]dad[[/note]] off the ledge.
84** She finally talks them into letting her keep the enormous beast in the back yard. And then she discovers ''his'' superpower:
85--> '''Kamala''' ''(over the phone, to Bruno):'' I have to go. I... think my new dog just ''teleported'' into my room.
86** The classroom map of North America, showing the geography of the United States, Mexico, and... [[{{UsefulNotes/Canada}} "Snow Mexico"]]
87* Issue #9
88** Upon discovering that she's part-Kree, Bruno jokes that Kamala is from a "[[Franchise/StarWars galaxy far, far away]]." She is not amused.
89* Issue #10
90** The Inventor sure does love his silly hats. Even his giant Ms. Marvel-mashing robot sports one.
91** Upon finding out the teenagers used by the Inventor as power sources were convinced to cooperate willingly because they believe they don't have any future, Kamala gets mad and starts proving each of them they do have a future. She tells a girl skilled in computers that she has a future in cyber-security, and a boy who recycle junk he is a future engineer. Then comes Vick's turn:
92-->'''Vick''': I do all the jobs nobody wants to do because they are stupid and dangerous!
93-->'''Kamala''': Future president.
94* Issue #11
95** During their big confrontation, Kamala gives a dramatic and blistering ReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Inventor. He simply [[DullSurprise stares at her blankly the whole time]]... but promptly '''loses his shit''' when she says "[[PokeThePoodle I think you're a bird]]".
96* Issue #12
97** Loki's introduction. He tried to use some magical horses blessed with the power of the sun to fight off some Frost Giants. Instead of obeying, they pooped on him.
98*** He helps Bruno write a love letter to Kamala, which Bruno calls "Series/DowntonAbbey weirdo crap." Despite Bruno's protests, Loki happily skips off and delivers the letter. ... And by "delivers" we mean he pulls an [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]] and puts it on her pillow.
99*** He's helping! Honest! He's just terrible at it. And a {{troll}}. Exemplified by his reaction to the fights breaking out thanks to the TruthSerum:
100--->'''Loki''': Aaaaaah, young love... so much better with a little dose of '''honesty'''.
101* Issue #16
102** We finally see how the [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 universal collision]] is affecting Earth-616. While the planet is intact, a good portion of New York state is falling into a state of emergency due to the panic caused by the sight of a planet hovering over Manhattan. Looters attempt to attack Kamala's school and trigger Loki's wards (originally put down in #12), which summons a bunch of goofy-looking monsters to fend them off while boasting about how their opponents are about to be "pwned".
103*** Bruno's description of Loki in response to the wards' effect: "All right hipster-Viking-magician dude!"
104* Issue #17
105** Kamala's first words upon meeting Captain Marvel for the first time while the end of the world is approaching.
106-->'''Kamala''': ''Everything sucks except for you!''
107* Issue #19
108** Kamala tries to make up with Nakia for neglecting her, and this happens.
109-->'''Nakia''': We used to be best friends, and now we're not, and I don't understand why!
110-->'''Kamala''': Give yourself a minute to hear [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 what you just said]].
111-->'''Nakia''': Okay, yeah, haha, whatever--
