This is the first Ms. Marvel I've ever read and I have to admit, I don't really like Carol, but I think that's because I believe in the opposite of what she was standing for in this.
I loved this collection with it's three variants of Ms Marvel - is she Binary, Warbird or Ms Marvel?I love the whole Civil War aspect too, and the tensions that it creates between all the super folk.I had never read a Ms Marvel comic up until this one, and I was pleased with it. Enough to start wanting to delve into the back catalogue and discover her adventures.Can't wait for a movie version!
3.5 starsTwo distinct and very action-oriented - it seems there is more sound-effect wording used in this single volume than in the entire run of the 'Batman' TV series of the 60's - stories in this edition. I'm going against the reviewer grain to say I found the first tale - in which Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man are given orders from 'the man' to track down / bring in an unregistered but nicely well-meaning teen superhero wannabe - better, or more interesting, than the second one. The latter story...
The best part of this was Warbird, and I wish they would have explained better how alternate Carol Danvers came to this world, and what happened to her after this event.
It's good, but you're not going to be missing out on a Civil War plot line if you skip it, either. It's a pretty self-contained story. Carol proves herself to be a clone of Tony Stark, which really didn't do anything to endear her character to me.
In spite of featuring a number of B- & C-list characters (some of whom I'd never heard of), this Civil War tie-in shows us how the Super-Hero Registration Act affects the "little people", and somehow ends up being more engaging & interesting than other tie-ins featuring better-known characters like, say, Civil War: Fantastic Four. That, in itself, is quite a feat. It didn't make me a die-hard Carol Danvers fan, but at least I didn't feel like I'd wasted my time reading it.
If there’s ever been a time in Marvel history that Tony Stark has been more of an ass than during the Civil War crossover event, then let me know. Discount all the drinking binges and hookers and ego on overdrive, have you ever had more of an urge to punch Stark in the face than here? Through the Stark blustering and posturing, Ms. Marvel aka Carol Danvers, slowly comes to a realization that rounding up unregistered superhero’s might be best for Stark’s agenda, but it might not be the “right” th...
I have read very few Marvel comics and my knowledge relating to Carol Danvers/Ms Marvel is very limited, though I am aware of the character's history with Rogue.The Civil War story over the pro-registration arguments was really well done but I would have liked that explored a bit more and I found Carol's black and white view frustrating, hunting down fellow teammates and including in front of her team-mates' daughter was very un-hero like and yet Carol still went through with it, and I enjoyed A...
As much fun as volume one was, this is dour and serious. Ms. Marvel joins Iron Man's super hero gestapo hunting down heroes who refuse to register with the Super Hero Registration Act in this Civil War tie-in. Then an alternate universe Carol Danvers appears who has never gotten over Rogue stealing her memories and is out for blood. Then there's a special that half-ass revisits when Ms. Marvel was Binary without really explaining anything. There's a lot of Carol's really complicated history refe...
This book collects issues 6-10 of Miss Marvel and Special #1.The Civil War issues are really on the periphery of anything major that happened in Civil War. She's tasked with taking down D-listers like the Prowler for failing to register. Thrn when one member of her team goes rogues, Carol goes a bit berserk, showing how her anger may be one of her greatest impediments to becoming "best of the best." The best thing about the three Civil War issues is that they bring Anya Corozan (later Spider-gir...
The biggest problem I had with the whole Civil War storyline is that it didn’t seem very believable. You’d think the heroes had been through enough together that one would think it ultimately wouldn’t come to fighting fiercely against one another. The pro-registration arguments don’t come through very strongly and Stark’s side is just plain badly written. And well, what reader wants to see their favorite heroes become government pawns? It’s hard to believe they’d actually resort to the things th...
I find it difficult to believe that Marvel is going to turn Carol Danvers into a movie. But hey it is on the schedule. And we are headed to Civil War apparently as well. This was actually a pretty good book, good writing and good enough art - though I kind of hate the Ms. Marvel uniform. And Carol herself seems fairly one-dimensional and I'm not all that impressed with Wonder Man. Nice to see an earlier story on Anya aka Spider Girl. But this is definitely a middle story. 3.5 of 5 but one with s...
This collection is marketed as part of the Civil War story arc. That is only half true as the first three issues dealt with that arc. Out of all the Civil War companions that I have read this collection is the one I like the least. Part of the problem is that it wasn't totally devoted to the arc. In the three issues that deal with Civil War, Carol is on Iron Man's side and she is helping him enforce the Registration Act. We see her pursue several different heroes. These issues were okay but to m...
2.75 stars. Very average Civil War story.So the first half of the book is about Carol and Wonder Man catching Araña and training her as a registered hero. And they go after Arachne who has been acting up and doesn't agree with the SHRA. And take her away from her child.The second half has an alternate universe Carol Danvers come in and ruin everything. They come to find out that she holds a grudge against Rogue for trying to kill her a while back. And so every time alternate Carol (aka Warbird)
Definitely one of the stronger tie-ins to Marvel's Civil War crossover, because it builds on Brian Reed's strong characterization of Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel. Still, the Civil War part, which brings in *great* guest stars like Arana, Arachne, the Shroud, and Wonder Man is the weaker part of the collection. In the second half, Ms. Marvel faces off with Rogue, the X-Man that once stole her powers, and an alternate-reality version of herself. The parallel-dimension bit and the last story, involvi...
the CW tie ins aren’t very important but the last 2 issues with rogue and the AU carol are phenomenal
Marvel is so annoying for their events and this event itself is annoying. In this entire volume (besides the last one which was weird as shit as she fought herself and Rogue used "ah" instead of "I"), we deal with Carol siding with Tony Stark. She hunts down other superheroes who refused to sign the registration to arrest them with Wonder Man and the entire thing just felt icky to me. I've never been team Iron Man and this just didn't vibe.I guess there is possibly a thing between Carol & Wonder...
It’s weird that this starts off with a Civil War story, then takes an abrupt turn for the last two issues and doesn’t talk about anything from the first three issues. I liked the art in the last two issues better, but I’m so tired of crotch and ass shots when Carol is flying through the air. And the sudden ‘oh look a boy’ in the middle of a fight 🙄. I’m so tired of comics rooted in misogyny.
The first half of this graphic novel was pretty good. Ms. Marvel is pretty resoundingly behind Iron Man with registration; however, as she trains a new recruit, we see the murky waters that registration causes, as a child is pulled away from her mother.Despite a decent start, the second half of the graphic novel is a weird story, where Ms. Marvel fights a version of herself from another universe. It was weird, jarring and unrelated to everything that had happened up until that point.
Huh... Well, this is a decent read, but it's also painful in an "I don't want to see this happening" kind of way. My favourite Marvel hero is acting like everything's black-and-white and taking down her friends and it's uncomfortable. To be fair, she does feel conflicted about it later on, but I find it hard to believe Carol wouldn't question her stance more than she did in the book. There isn't really a resolution to that as the next section is a self-contained story about the multiverse and Ro...
