Wow, a decent War of the Realms tie-in. I think it works because it can stand on its own. Then Star comes along who looks like may become a major part of Captain Marvel's rogues gallery. I really like how Thompson continues to bring Carol's female superhero friends into the book and they actually feel like friends. I also like how Thompson has a firm grasp on Carol's complicated history and uses it to power new stories.
This was okay but felt like a rehash of several Captain Marvel plots. Carol even says so.
Captain Marvel continues to be an entertaining series. The first two issues deal with the War of Realms stuff. Though instead of being some big epic crossover, it's basically Dr. Strange and Captain Marvel switch bodies. In doing so, this brings up some really funny situations, and also allows the war of realms not to overstay its welcome. Then the 2nd half of this is Captain Marvel losing her powers for some reason and then a new hero showing up, Star, who can be the key to why this is all goin...
The most cringe-worthy story I've read for 2022 and it's January.
Another solid read, I really like the friendship between Jessica Drew and Captain Marvel. The War of the Realms tie-in issues (#6-7) were particularly enjoyable.
Unbelievably this is the tenth season (series) of Captain Marvel, and finally we may have found a fitting series, Kelly Thompson's writing and Carmen Carnero's art is really working, especially when compare to the current weak Marvel comic book universe era. First a War of the Realms double-header:Followed by 'Falling Star' in which it looks like Carol is losing it all, her powers, her status, her commission, just as a new super powered woman makes a stunning debut, saving Carol! With a great su...
A solid follow up to volume one even though it's been a while since I've read it. The villain feels a little contrived and there are a few quick fixes to wrap everything up in the last volume, but overall it's pretty solid, and as usual Thompson has great dialogue between the "sisters" of the volume, Carol and Jessica Drew. I'm excited to catch up on the rest of the series.
*read as single issues*3.5* I really like Kelly Thompson‘s writing I think she strikes a great balance between dramatic, thoughtful and humorous moments. Captain Marvel is also portrayed well, she is not perfect and she makes mistakes but even when everything is staked against her she does not give up. The story was good as well, I liked the tie-ins for War of the Realms and Star was an intriguing villain with an interesting motivation. I also really liked the interior art although I was not alw...
I liked this a lot better than the first volume. It starts with a pretty humorous war of the realms tie in, it’s funny seeing Carol and Stephen try to work out being in each other’s bodies. The Star stuff is amazing probably the best part of the this volume, I really like Star she seems like an interesting character with a really cool design I’m interested to see where she goes. I also like how Thompson acknowledges a lot of Carol’s history and the stuff she went through. Like I said in the last...
Kelly Thompson keeps knocking it out of the park with her take on Captain Marvel!
OK, let’s get this out of the way: I really didn’t care for the two-part War of the Realms tie-in that kicks off this book, but that’s almost always the case with this kind of ‘event’ crossover, so colour me unsurprised. My main issue was that characterisation seemed to take a backseat to the comedic tone, making this two-parter almost seem like one of Marvel’s out-of-continuity books for younger readers. Moving on to the rest of the book...Once Carmen Carnero returns to the art duties and we ge...
Kelly Thompson and I are vibing. Not me ordering the rest of the books right now….
i have a lot of problems with this. but i will speak on one big one— carol danvers would never be jealous of another women having powers similar to her own. now granted, as the story unfolds yes carol has a good reason to be mad. but right when carol meets star she automatically “doesn’t have a good feeling about her” WHY? there’s no reason! star just saved her freaking life and if any other writer knew carol they know carol would praise her to no tomorrow. carol is never just a woman hater beca...
Not a fan of the story or the artwork of the first storyline in this collection. The Stephen Strange - Carol Danvers body swap storyline falls flat and doesn’t have enough humor, nuance or anything to make it feel fresh. The second half, the continuing storyline from the previous book, is better, but still not great. Carol has her power drained, yet again, and it really feels like too much. Having characters comment on how overdone this is, does not make it less overdone!! Some really good momen...
(2.5/5)A pretty forgettable volume overall. Maybe I've just become jaded with all the constant soft-reboots after three volumes... although I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this arc might last longer than that. Maybe four volumes this time? Who knows.And the thing is... there's not much of an arc, is there? A few things in common between stories, yes. But I don't see much of a real progression.I don't know, I guess we'll see, maybe it'll become clearer in a few issues? I'm willing to
I don't think this one was as good as Vol. 1, but it was still very good. This run continues to be a huge step up from the Stohl run. I think this is the first body-swapping plot that I didn't loath, and I like that Thompson acknowledges trauma for what it is. It's a bit disjointed thanks to the tie-in aspect (thanks-but-no-thanks, Marvel). It's also a bit same-same for a Captain Marvel plot (which is acknowledged right in the book), but I think it's a good version of that plot. Solid, overall.
First, it's an undercover mission for Carol as she, Black Widow, and Doctor Strange enter the War Of The Realms! Then, a new superheroine arrives on the scene with suspiciously similar powers to Carol. Is that why Carol's powers aren't feeling quite right? And what's Doctor Minn-Erva got to do with it?War Of The Realms was an all-encompassing Marvel event, so of course Carol had to get in on the act. These two issues are fine, but there's definitely a feeling that they're just placeholders befor...
Another great volume from this series, and a good prelude to Star: Birth of a Dragon, which I read recently. Carol Danvers I feel is not an easy character to love, due to some of the things they did with her in the past comics and her general attitude around some characters. But Kelly Thompson makes her likeable and makes me feel sorry for her plight when I see it all from her perspective! If a writer can do that, then they've achieved their goal!
4 stars |
that was way better than the first arc. didnt expect to love the war of the realms tie-in but it was really fun! idk if i'd ever seen nat and carol together? (which is a shame cause the two of them +jessica drew are the only avengers i try to keep up with)anyway onto the real arc for this volume... i got spoiled about Star so that took away the surprise or whatever but it was fine. what bothered me is just how quick people turned their back on her, but i guess people are just like that? i mean t...
