Ms. Marvel is on a journey through the multiverse in Kamala Khan's new series

It can be hard to find a superhero series when its main character is indelibly linked to a single creator or creative team – like Kamala Khan with G. Willow Wilson and Adrien Alphona. But I think YA writer Samira Ahmed and artist Andrés Genolet (Runaway) have got off to a good start.

Everyone seems to go on parallel universe hopping adventures these days, but only Ms. Marvel unexpectedly gets into the Bollywood version of the Marvel universe.

What else happens on the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books our comics editor liked over the past week. It’s partly society pages about the lives of superheroes, partly reading recommendations, partly “Check out this cool art”. There may be some spoilers. There may not be enough context. But there will be great comics. (And if you missed the last issue, read this.)

In Ahmed’s and Genolet’s new five-issue miniseries, Kamala gets into an accident with her cousin’s wormhole machine and ends up in Jersey City, where everyone acts like a Bollywood movie – it rules. And I seriously doubt it will be the last weird Marvel Earth the series will visit.

These weeks Night wing, equipped with no less than 10 double pages, was a single coherent picture from cover to cover and told the story of our hero who saves his puppy from some insidious gangsters.

The reject hits Ikaris in the mouth, then takes his hand and mumbles

Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribićs Eternal

– perhaps the best the show has ever been, including Kirby’s run – is back. Revealing that every time an Eternal is resuscitated it takes a random human life, the immortal, unstoppable Ikaris struggles to learn to fight as if his death had consequences.

Supergirl rides Comet the Super horse through blue and pink stars at a speed designed to break the laws of science and magic, followed by a rainbow streak from something in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow # 6 (2021).

Every month there is a new issue of Supergirl: woman of tomorrow and every month the artist Bilquis Evely and the colorist Matheus Lopes absolutely kill it.

A massive face, patterned in the five tones of the four-color printing process that resulted in American comics, speaks to the defenders in large block letters, while in Defenders # 4 (2021) they move from a chalkboard on a comic book page to a blank white Kick space. .

With every issue of defender, the title team has traveled back to the next earliest incarnation of the Marvel Universe, and like they do, Al Ewing and Javier Rodríguez have recreated the world in a simpler way – right up to this issue where they arrive at a place where they are are huddled together Archetypes of all of Marvel’s heroes and villains fight forever on a vast battlefield, and manipulating the colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black allows you to take control of reality.

Needless to say, this will tear.

Eight panels of a training montage with a middle-aged Selina Kyle and Killer Croc. They complain about old injuries and then fall asleep on the couch in Catwoman: Lonely City # 2 (2021).

Absolutely one of the funniest and best looking comics on stalls today Catwoman: Lonely City. That grew up Batman: The Animated Series Vibes, in a stylishly rendered Gotham City of the near future, where old characters take on new roles – and Selina Kyle and Killer Croc live together and train for the ultimate heist.

Plus, I just love Croc’s smeared face.
