In November 2013, Marvel announced the launch of a brand new Ms.Marvel comic book series with a new character. The new Ms.Marvel , Kamala Khan, a child of Pakistani immigrants living in Jersey City. This new addition did not go over very well with a small portion of the general public who were more racist than others with their hateful commentary. Ms. Marvel writer G.Wilson said,” “There’s been some hate from people who don’t read comics, which I ignore because, in terms of this medium, they are illiterate. There’s this sense that [Muslims] shouldn’t even be there because it’s somehow un-American.”
Ms. Marvel ended up being a very successful series with kamala khan being a fan favorite.
