In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head back January 2014, for the triumphant debut of Kamala Khan as Ms. MarvelLast year, I did a Look Back on the first appearance of Kamala Khan in a comic book, a cameo in Captain Marvel #14. As I noted at the time, it really makes no sense for anyone to treat that comic book as Kamala Khan’s first appearance, but for some inexplicable reason, that’s precisely how it has been treated by the comic book collecting community. I featured it in a piece I did about cameo appearances that are treated as first appearances despite the longstanding tradition that cameo appearances AREN’T first appearances (most famously how Incredible Hulk #180 is not treated as Wolverine’s first appearance and Amazing Spider-Man #299 is not treated as Venom’s first appearance).Marvel’s Point One program began in 2011 with issues designed to be jumping on points for comics. You know, like Wolverine #5.1 would be a great way to start reading Wolverine, for instance. So Marvel Point One #1, at the end of 2011, would therefore be a good way to start reading Marvel Comics, with the first appearance of the then-new Nova, Sam Alexander.
