This is the conclusion of the Inventor arc. Our villain gets to shout, "I am not a bird!" on the first page, and by the last page we see what he really looks like. And he is in fact, not a bird. So, truth in advertising.
It's a little disappointing insofar as the disenchanted youths who willingly played into the Inventor's hands previously are now just as willing to play along with Ms. Marvel. This is kind of the opposite of the intended message, I suspect.
The other point the issue makes involves Kamala Khan's emerging need to protect her secret identity, what she calls "my new normal" and "a parallel life."
A certain amount of that may also be G. Willow Wilson speaking directly through Kamala. With the massive success of Ms. Marvel, Wilson is having her first real moment of comic book popularity, which goes with expanded demand, which means she's also writing X-Men these days, which is quite a vote of confidence.
