Hi Everyone.

I was reading this article here, and the writer mentions some reasons why he's excited about reading the series:

"Maybe I'm a bleeding heart liberal (maybe?), but I'm incredibly excited for this book. I'm excited to read G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona's take on what being a superhero means to someone who isn't a white man, or even a white woman. I'm excited to learn more about this culture that I know very little about. You can make your ignorant "keep politics out of comics" argument all you want, but the truth is that comics are where we learn a lot about other cultures. I truthfully don't know how okay I would have been with my gayness if I hadn't had decades of X-Men comics preaching tolerance -- at times specifically mentioning homosexuals -- ingrained in my brain. Cultural awareness is incredibly important, and reading stories about different cultures are where the seeds of empathy and understanding flourish. If you know nothing about people of the Muslim faith outside of how the media has portrayed them since 9/11, I bet you'll be surprised by what you read in "Ms. Marvel." You might even be able to relate to her!"

It got me thinking, with a brand new character in a solo series like this, who we haven't had a chance to grow to love or hate through guest appearances or a position in a team series, what is it that's going to make us buy it? I've added the reasons given by the writer, plus a few of my own. Multiple choice, so choose as many answers that are appropriate to you.
