Hell yes. Honestly, though, I bought that particular one for the other comic. Jim Lee illustrated the first issue of Deathblow.

Wiki page says new Ms. Marvel first appeared in November 2013. How long are your years?

Carol Danvers is Captain Marvel now. Kamela Khan (sp?) is the new Ms. Marvel.

Except for a brief JLA stint and Sandman/Lucifer/Fables, I've always been Marvel/X-Men. (And Image. First Cybernary series was incredible.)
I'm finding the current switching a little annoying, but I think they're aggressively exploring a new strategy (or strategies), which is basically relaunching a title every time it gets a new creative team. I also think they're launching a lot of titles, giving authors 12-24 issues, and pulling and relaunching if it's not working. There's much more emphasis on story arcs now than there used to be; everything is aimed at the trade market down the line. Eventually I think we'll end up with a new volume of a series every year or so, so instead of Avengers, you'll be getting Avengers: Avenger's World for 24 issues, then Avengers: The Evolutionary War for 18 issues, and etc etc. Instead of open-ended series it'll be sequential maxi-series.
I'm planning to switch to trades eventually, probably first for the series that I don't follow right now but am curious about (Uncanny Avengers) or are willing to drop and wait 6 months (Avengers/Avengers World), but eventually go all trades. It's much easier to reread trades than individual issues. Easier to store, too, since they'll go on a shelf.

That's not the way the article is worded,which i said in the bit you quoted from me, in fact the article says the following :
not a new person taking on that identity, to me as i stated above it sounds like they think that the whole character of Ms. Marvel is new.
Given that it is a new person, and a new set of powers, and the only thing that carries over is the name (not really the "identity" - this isn't like someone new pretending to fill Batman's or Captain America's shoes for a while), I think it is okay to say Kamela Kahn is a new hero.

I don't really understand what you're objecting to. You ALSO said...
The word "unless" creates an exception to the preceding statement. The preceding statement was that the article was wrong because Ms Marvel was not a new superhero. UNLESS they mean a new person taking on the name of Ms Marvel, in which case the article is NOT wrong.
That is what they mean. A new person is taking on the name of Ms Marvel. That person is Kamala Khan.
I wouldn't even say she's taking on the identity of Ms Marvel, because identity is typically more than a name; identity would imply commonalities between the characters such as powers, origin, or such. None of those seems to be the case. She's not taking on the identity of "Ms Marvel, Avenger".

So, new person, new powers, new backstory, new character, old name...what would you call her, if not a new super hero?

I wasn't objecting to anything, I found the wording odd is all, and to me she is taking on the identity of Ms. Marvel, you pick up the name that's the identity at least to me it is.
