My choice would be Al Ewing. Based on his works on Thor, Storm, Hulk and others; I could see him doing good with Kamala and her supporting cast.

Like, I read the arc where she was retconned into being a mutant (which I still dislike) and the last thing I remember is the disembodied "mutant" ethereal version of her telling her about her abilities.

Where did she go from there and why hasn't she had a solo comic since? She's a good enough character to warrant one.

Like im sure there could have been some interesting stories about intersectionality that they could have explored there? Maybe even used her as the person to join them together. Get the adults thinking more towards unity rather than conflict

from what ive been web browsing in the net, Zoe is a kinda of a divisive character. i mean, people dunk on Bruno(mainly for the will they won't they dynamic with Kamala) but people know where they stand on Bruno and Nakia is generally well liked overall.

cuz some people critique how her redemption arc in GWW run was handled, some say it does come across as a "white girl apologizing for her racism", - is this fair criticism or not? also doesn't help Saladin sort of ruins this development with that traitor arc at his run during outlawed. for me, I just feel its inherently OOC cuz why would she betray the person who once saved her life, to the point zoe even dressed up as Ms. Marvel during that teenage wasteland arc in gww run. also, why would someone who got forcibly outed as gay in front of the entire school would essentially try to out someone's secret idenity to CRADLE?

sure, you can say it was all due to "trauma" but saladin doesn't explore well enough, doesn't give it enough interiority

so, is zoe a bad character? a good character? somewhere in between? Average?

Thoughts-

I just picked up the full run of "The magnificent Ms. Marvel" from Saladin Ahmed is this a good place to hop into?
