6. Ms. Marvel

(Marvel Comics)

This is most definitely the highest profile comic on this list, at least for the moment. The 2014 Ms. Marvel series by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona will go down in comic book history as something truly special.  I think it gets a lot of credit for its diverse cast, and while it deserves that credit, I don't think it gets enough credit for just being really damn good. Which it truly is.

The series tells the story of Kamala Khan, a teenage girl living in New Jersey. After she's given superpowers by a comic book event you don't really need to know about, she decides to take after her hero: Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. Using Carol's original codename and a brand new set of superpowers, Kamala becomes the hero New Jersey has so long been denied.  With a lovable supporting cast and some fantastic guest appearances, Ms. Marvel is downright perfect. A movie based on Kamala would lend the MCU that street-level small-time superhero quality it's missing.
