Like many others in the Kamala Korps, I had been anxiously awaiting Ms. Marvel #17. Finally, we would get the Carol and Kamala team-up we’d been waiting, hoping, yearning for! Plus something something Secret Wars, whatever — give me this team-up and I almost don’t care what plotline you’re working with. OR SO I THOUGHT. Now, I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read it yet or is waiting for the trade, but I have a LOT OF FEELINGS about this issue. So, rather than words, I give you my response to (as non-spoilery as possible) moments in GIFs. Enter Carol Danvers:

YES. IT’S ALL HAPPENING.

  Marvel Corps Bonding Time!:

Look at them bonding! And talking! And being friennnnnddddds!

  That Random Pig (Shout out to Adrian Alphona):

Seriously, did you see the guy carrying around the pig?!

  THE KITTENS:

Ded. I am writing this from beyond the grave.

So. Many. Feelings.

  The Fight Scene:

This is almost exactly what happens in this issue.

  The Cliffhanger On the Last Page:

No seriously, WHAT?!

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Why, G. Willow??!! WHY???

No really, I need another IMMEDIATELY.

… to know WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

  But there is a light at the end of the tunnel of cliffhanger despair (what is even happening to my metaphors, let’s just go with it) — Ms. Marvel #18 comes out on August 12! We just have to make it til next Wednesday. I believe in us, Kamala Korps. We can do it.

KORPS HUG.
