Reddit mentions of Ms. Marvel Vol. 1: No Normal (Ms. Marvel Series)

New ms marvel

As a girl with a burgeoning comic collection featuring a lot of female leads, I would HIGHLY recommend the Wonder Woman run by Brian Azzarello & Cliff Chiang (starting here).
Also if she's looking for something with more of an indie vibe, I'd recommend Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick, and if she likes the Stranger Things trend in pop culture nowadays absolutely Paper Girls by Brian K Vaughan.

If she's a YA fan, I'd reccomend Spera by Josh Tierney. And if she really wants a taste of Marvel, and likes YA fiction, I'd also recommend Ms. Marvel.

I've read Fables, and it's pretty good, but I gotta say there is SO much that it might be intimidating for a first-time comic reader. I also love Saga, but again there is just SO much, it might be better to start with a shorter run or a one-off.

>How often do new comics come out and how much do they cost?

In a comic shop, most comics series come out one issue per month. The new comics for every week come out on Wednesdays. The "big two"(DC and Marvel) tend to charge $3.99 per issue, though there are exceptions(Ms. Marvel is $2.99). Comic shops will also let you set up a "pull list" or "pull box", where the shop has the list of comics that you're reading and has them set aside for you.

But there are a few more options:

Marvel Unlimited

Marvel runs a Netflix-style service called Marvel Unlimited. It's $10/mo or $70/year if you buy annually. During big comic conventions, they'll sometimes do big promo pricing.

Every comic Marvel publishes gets added to the service on a six-month lag from the shops(which is about how long it takes for a comic to end up in a "trade paperback" book in bookstores).

If you have a tablet, this is honestly a great way to read.

Comixology

Another digital option. Comixology sells digital comics, on the same day and price as physical comics. It's your digital equivalent to a comic book shop.

If you buy physical Marvel comics, they tend to come with a code that you can redeem for a Comixology digital copy.

Print Subscriptions

Marvel also has magazine-style mail subscriptions. You buy 12 issues(in most cases, this is a year's worth of comics) at once, and get a big discount on the cover price.

Comics tend to arrive in your mailbox a week or two later than at the shop, but you get physical single issues soon after print at a big discount.

Trade Paperbacks

You can also buy physical collected issues in book form from bookstores or places like Amazon. Most series are now printed in "volumes", with roughly every 5-6 issues collected into a single book. This is as long of a wait as Unlimited and it costs about as much as a single month of that, but you also get a physical book.

HOPEFULLY none of that was overwhelming.
