This is essentially volume 3 of the new(ish) Captain Marvel series. So if you haven't read In Pursuit of Flight and Down, you'll probably feel quite lost. And really, you should read them anyway. DeConnick's Captain Marvel has consistently been excellent. This collection brings the story that's been unfolding over the course of the first two collections to a close, and in the process makes Carol the standard bearer for true superheroics. It isn't her power set (which is, let's face it, formidabl...

This was actually a pretty good one! It starts off with the threat of Yong-Rogg escalating and he calling himself Magnitron and he has a plan to repeat all the great hits of Carol like the dinosaurs, some weird wrestling girls and then Kree Sentries. They are all over earth and destroying Earth and so the Avengers have to team up to take them down and what will Carol do to stop him when she finds out the secrets to his power and his return? Its really well done in some aspects and the story flow...

3.4/10This felt a bit like a mess. The humour didn't land on me and the art in some of the issues was at best mediocre.

Yeah. This was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I was only going to give it 3 stars, but that seemed a little unfair, so I changed my mind! I really like how Deconnick writes Carol. It's pretty standard 'hero has personal problems as well as having to deal with the rest of the world' stuff, which is bread and butter of Marvel Comics, but she gets a good story out of it. She can also write a good team book. The story also moves well between Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble, with Carol at the centre...

*incoherent tear-stained noises of joy and appreciation*

Disappointing. Everything that is not what makes DeConnick's stories good. Characterization sacrificed for big event plot. And the art was ridiculously uneven, not only from book to book but often within the same book. Art does affect the story. And the story was just OK to start.

Bullet Review:I love you, DeConnick. You've given me my favorite superheroine. Thank you.

A messy story with an absolutely brilliant end.World: The art was all over the place and not in a good way. The art styles from the different artists was one thing, but the action was messy and all over the place making pacing an issue also. The world building was good, it calls back to the history and the origin of Carol and for new readers and old readers this tie to the past was a wonderful thing. This is the best part of the book.Story: This is where the wheels falls off a bit. The pacing is...

Finally. Holy crap am I tired of superheroes who get into trouble and somehow forget that they're members of a team, - who whine and struggle and fail alone for issue after issue.When you read a team book, one of them rushes into the room and declares, "Kong the Immortal Man-Gorilla just landed halfway around the earth! I saw him while I was picking up old pouch-infested uniforms in Bohemivaria, and thought you guys would want to know!" Because of course if you're part of a team and something bi...

The first two volumes of Captain Marvel come to a head here in the form of an old nemesis who has been waiting a long time for vengeance. Carol and the Avengers fight against an onslaught of Kree Sentry robots, called into action by none other than Yon-Rogg, who didn't die back in the initial volume I checked out to start my exploration of Captain Marvel.It always feels strange yet exciting to read something that feels like a direct, symmetrical conclusion of a story from such a long time ago. Y...

Basically a big Avengers story with Carol at the center of it. Wraps up the storyline with Carol's brain lesion (Thankfully!). It's a bit hard to connect with the book based on how much it hearkens back to the terrible stories from the 70's where she got her start. Deconnick gives us enough for the gist of the story but not enough for me to care about it. The art is all over the place, ranging from Godawful to meh.

Guys, I waited sooooo long to read this.I originally put it on hold at my library SIX MONTHS AGO. It was “on order” for five of those months. I waited so patiently. And then one day I got an email from my library informing me my hold had been canceled, because they couldn’t find a copy of the book to buy for the library’s collection. BOOOOOO. Hisssssss. So I ordered it through interlibrary loan and waited another month. And then it arrived! There was much rejoicing.And it ’twas good.This book co...

First reading review: This is more about Captain Marvel than the rest of the Avengers, who are basically supporting players here; but that's okay. I'm not very familiar with Carol "Captain Marvel" Danvers, and this gave me a pretty good idea of who and why she is. I liked the storyline pertaining to her struggle with the lesion in her brain. Although she's afraid of what's going to happen to her, she still feels the need to do the right thing, even if it costs her. The stuff about the Kree villa...

So my life is like:Then Captain Marvel is all like:And I'm like:Because I feel like:But then this book is all like:And even though right now I'm totally like:Still I'm like:Because I know someday I'll be like:Because:(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]Seriously though:["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Avengers: The Enemy Within is basically the conclusion of the storyline in Captain Marvel: In Pursuit of Flight and Down, so I expect that if you haven't read those, you won't like this one. I'm not actually reading current Avengers, but that didn't seem to spoil this crossover event. I have no idea how to keep track of all the timelines and so on, so I just throw myself in at the deep end every time and sink or swim. In this case, Carol's background would help with the swimming, but Avengers ba...

I didn’t really care for this. The art for Captain Marvel’s Comic was a bit harsh. More so on the women than the men. This features Yon-Rogg who was featured in the film. They did his story differently there, of course. It was nice to see the Avengers coming together to help. I liked seeing Jessica support Carol but that’s about it. I didn’t really latch onto to anything here and there weren’t any parts that I found spectacular.

Just finished reading this after picking up a huge stack of comics because I haven't been to my shop in a month.I think it's wonderful that we finally got a crossover event that is much more personal than Marvel usually goes for. I'm inclined to love it because Carol is my favorite, but there's a lot more to this story than that. Carol facing down her demons and accepting help from her friends always makes for a fantastic story, and Kelly Sue's done right by her.That ending, though. THAT ENDING....

In a team-up with the avengers, The Enemy Within finishes the initial Captain Marvel arc by DeConnick with one hell of a fight. The medical issues which have been plaguing Carol are finally revealed to be the work of an old enemy and now Carole and the other Avengers must work against time to stop him before they lose both Captain Marvel and the Earth. This is easily the most action-packed volume of the arc as it finally ties together the loose ends concerning Carol and the brain lesion that

Really not bad.A fine ending to the first KSD run. Nothing to cosmic happens here. Carol put against the wall by an old enemy and is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice. It’s heroic and badass.We’re also treated to some primo Avengers action. The whole thing is pretty fun and kickass.I really didn’t dig the art. That was a major weak point. Overall, you need to read this if you already read the rest of the KSD CM series. It caps off the whole story quite nicely. The next KSD run has way better...
