For Monday: Wilson, Ms. Marvel
For your final in-class reading, finish Ms. Marvel for Monday and turn in your last Comics Template Response.

Though here's another article which shows how unforgiving the spotlight can be on a racial pioneer in comics; in this case, she isn't doing enough and is reinforcing dangerous stereotypes: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jun/05/ms-marvel-g-willow-wilson-muslim-race-comics
