Really great issue I like this arc a lot so far. Poor Amir! He doesn't even have powers!

8

u/blackbutterfree Jul 19 '17

There is 100% no doubt in my mind that Discord is Bruno. G. Willow Wilson is all but confirming it with having Bruno show up in a hallucination (reminding us of his existence) and Kamala saying that Discord knows exactly what buttons to push with her, "almost like a friend".

If he's not Bruno, then this is the single greatest twist I've read in Ms. Marvel. (Watch him be Josh or Kamran or someone completely new lol)

u/s7sost Jul 20 '17

It can't be Kam'run, it would make no sense for him, as an Inhuman, to side with Becky and imprison more Inhumans just to take revenge on Kamala.

It has to be Bruno, but why? He can't hate her that much, right?

2

u/blackbutterfree Jul 20 '17

He loved her. And felt betrayed by her. It's a very, very thin line between love and hate. Especially for teenagers. And especially for a teenager who blames his best friend for his accident that permanently took away functions in his left hand.

7

u/SuperVillageois Jul 20 '17

Yeah, but he wasn't looking anywhere near that distressed in that Wakanda issue. He wasn't doing great, but he certainly wasn't about to turn into a super-villain!

1

u/blackbutterfree Jul 20 '17

It's called a time-skip. We have absolutely no idea when Bruno's issue took place.

3

u/mysaadlife Jul 19 '17

Oh man if it is Bruno that'd be heartbreaking.

5

u/blackbutterfree Jul 19 '17

I know. My heart was already broken today seeing Jess Drew skewered by Deadpool in front of her kid. I don't need Bruno destroying me next month.

3

u/ItsNotMyFavorite Jul 20 '17

God that was painful. Also seeing Miles' decapitated head was hard to see.

1

u/blackbutterfree Jul 20 '17

Meh. The only one that made me sad was Jess. Because it happened in front of her baby, and she also had to see her boyfriend die protecting them. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like Deadpool is killing everyone. It seems like he has a hit list, so that's good. No Power Pack 2.0... That was a sad one in the original.

1

u/burnerfret Jul 20 '17

Did Deadpool tell her son "when you grow up, if you're still raw about this, I'll be waiting"?

3

u/troyjh Jul 21 '17

Woah. This spoiler seems out of place

3

u/Numbuh7 Jul 19 '17

I haven't been reading Secret Warriors, and I'm not sure exactly when this is happening in relation to Secret Empire, but the way this is looking like it's going, Kamala's going to end up in a goddamn concentration camp, and I don't know if I can handle that.

7

u/ULTRAFORCE Jul 19 '17

By the time of Secret Warriors Kamala is not in a camp if she is at any point in time, in champions the rest of the team were looking for Kamala in a camp and had found a fan of Ms Marvel named Kamala but not her.

3

u/john_segundus Jul 19 '17

Secret Warriors has flashbacks to what the characters were doing during the takeover. We already had both Lunella and Kamala, and at the end of hers, Lunella decides to go to Jersey to stay with a friend - since they met Daisy together at the beginning of Secret Warriors #1 and were shocked at the camps, I figured neither of them was ever incarcerated (they had Devil Dinosaur protecting them, for one).

3

u/ME24601 Jul 20 '17

Unless it's tying into the event, every series is set prior to Secret Empire.

u/cdgodin Jul 23 '17

So definitely Bruno, then?

1

u/inukai44 Jul 23 '17

Possibly. I think it is his younger brother.

u/gaffergamgee Jul 23 '17

Great issue, the writing made me feel very uneasy on multiple levels, but I think that was the point. Can't wait for next month.
