It was mediocre at best? Bad half the time, but I loved the artwork!
A shameless money grab
Fun summary to whet the appetite for the film.
It works a a fairly good prelude to Captain Marvel and answers some questions I wasn't sure I was asking.
Este volumen incluye varios cómics. Uno de ellos es el de Generations donde hacen una comparación y unión entre las historias de Kamala y Carol Danvers, ambas Miss Marvel.El número de atención es la introducción hacia lo que será la película Capitana Marvel. Allí nos muestran algunas coordinaciones que hace Shield con el Capitán América y su grupo de rebeldes y con Ironman, cosas que no aparecen en ninguna de las películas y que pasarían poco antes de la llegada de Thanos. Ya después de la llega...
Nothing we didn't know from the films already
This is a collection of first issues from various runs in Captain Marvel's history. Each one is different and they have different stories, so I don't find them very helpful to understand Captain Marvel accept to see how she has changed over the many years. I think the movie is fantastic, but this prelude was pretty useless really. It does little to help us get to know this character as none of them are really like Captain Marvel.I wonder if they will start a new run that syncs up with the movie
Did this catch me up so I'd have background knowledge before going into the movie?Not a bit.I've watched the MCU movies and Netflix shows (RIP) leading up to "Captain Marvel" and the first story was just a reiteration of all that.The rest of the stories were excerpts from pervious comics explaining some of Carol Danver's life. Because it's a mish-mash of authors and artists, there's no defining plot, characteristics...or...anything, really, to follow. 2 stars because it was interesting-ish but,
A great addition to any Captain Marvel fan’s collection, or anyone just getting to know Carol Danvers. Contains her first appearance in the 60’s, her modern appearance as Ms. Marvel, a Mar-vell crossover, her emergence as Captain Marvel, and and a glimpse into her family life.
3.5As someone who didn't grow up with superherocomics (relatively unavailable in Europe when I was younger), I really appreciated this volume.The first chapter was - as was pointed out by a lot of people - unnecessary, it was just a recap of all the Marvel movies up to this point.But I really liked the reprints of the older comics. This was a nice introduction to the character of Captain Marvel, a character I never heard of until the movie was announced.
Just a mishmash of unrelated comics, shows you different phases of Captain Marvel's career. The issues towards the end dealing with her family and her alcohol problems were pretty damn good.
Read this because it's the Captain Marvel tie-in. Can't say it has much information in it - they should have just concentrated on Nick Fury and Maria Hill, since most readers are aware of what went down in the films.Film tie-ins are always haphazard and unfulfilling, this one is no different. Chaotic, hurried, overly-expositional and verbose, we never get a clear understanding of what it's trying to tell us. As I said, if we had instead been given the details of everything Fury and Hill had been...
The actual prelude issue was less than nothing. The rest was a hodge podge of out of context stories. Not worth it.We discuss this volume along with the history of Captain Marvel in a special episode of the All the Books Show podcast: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/ep...
I'm a simple person. I see Captain Marvel, I buy.But she's not in this, of course. It's Maria Hill and Nick Fury backgrounding Avengers up until they send out the signal. Could interest some people to fill that gap, but wasn't super interesting to me.
Meh. Nothing we didn't already know before.
The intro story strung together a few pieces of info from the Avengers movies leading up to the end of Avengers: Infinity War. It was a bit choppy and disjointed. Then we have Ms. Marvel #1 from 1977. Which was as corny and melodramatic as you expect a comic from that decade to be. Scorpion: “Vengeance is gonna be mine!”Bystander: “Holy crow! It’s that Scorpion crook! Why he’s grabbed that man — what’s he gonna do?” Scorpion (to himself): “If you only knew, buster — you’d thank god you’re not J....
I saw Captain Marvel (the movie) loved it, of course, and so did my kid, so we were blowing through all the Captain Marvel media we can get our hands on. This collection has one original comic, as far as I can tell, a short that somewhat recaps what happened after Captain America: Civil War up until the events at the end of Avengers: Infinity War (you know what I mean.) I found this short pretty frustrating because it didn’t anything essential or exciting to the story I already knew. Boo. The re...
The old comics were so cringey. And costumes no better. Later comics make more and better stories. I really loved Captain Marvel's and Captain America's combo and jokes on the field. It was a blast! And art is nice!And all the jokes! 😂😂😂 "Do these lady-biceps look like I'm lady-joking?" XDDD killed me! 😂😂😂👍👌Oh, and her friendship with Tony 👌😚 only circumstances saddeningNow I definitely need more of these arts and stories as I'm left with more questions than answers.It does nothing to explain or...
I really liked the various incarnations of the Captain Marvel character. I like the artwork and the stories were good. The book is also printed on good paper. Amazon's ad for the book lists the various comics that were involved so if you want to know more you can go there.
Enjoying learning about Carol Danvers and Captain Marvel.
