Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel take on the apocalypse

You can’t have a complete collection of “Ms. Marvel” without include the “Last Days” story arc, which spans issues #16 through #18 from 2015. If you think “Civil War” disrupts several Marvel plots, just wait until “Secret Wars.” The way that this massive crossover event ties into Kamala’s plot is particularly stunning, but it affects all of Marvel’s series in some manner.

While many other heroes race around in an effort to save the end of the world, Kamala is more concerned with keeping her own community from crumbling. But when things start to spiral out of control, aid in the form of Carol Danvers is on the way. Kamala meets her hero in person for the first time and holds her own as they tour Jersey City. Carol thoughtfully gives her a GPS pendant bearing their combined emblems. And the touching moments don’t stop there: Bruno and Kamala must confront their affections for one another as they face the end of the world. Almost makes us sad that Ms. Marvel went on to have so many more incredible exploits after that finish. Almost.
