It’s not often I’m reading a superhero comic and think, why don’t they just call the cops, but really… they should have just called the cops.
There’s a kidnapped teenager and house full of deadly robots. You can call the cops on that one. They may just call the Avengers, but you can call the cops. Instead there’s a montage where Kamala trains to save the kidnapped teen. Wilson doesn’t specify how long it takes, but it seems like at least two or three days.
During those two or three days, she’s grounded, which Wilson never talks about once quickly establishing it and the kid could be killed too.
It’s lazy plotting. Wilson’s going for cool sequences instead of a solid plot. And the ending, featuring the reveal of the villain, is an awkward one. Either the villain’s goofy or just looks dumb.
Still, it’s fine–Kamala’s a great protagonist.
