Great plot! Ms. Marvel is really starting to get interesting!
I really liked the story where she visits her family for the first time in years. And the flashback issues where we see how she became a secret agent for the Air Force are great. The modern day story where she's on some unknown secret mission though is really confusing as to what's going on and why she can't use her powers. The team-up with Spider-Man was fun though.
This was starting to get interesting, but then it just stopped in the middle of the story arc. I really hate when they do that.
This was a pretty damn good volume. At first I was a little put off by there being three separate stories in here but after finishing it I found I liked having all those stories in one place.The banter between Danvers and Spider-Man was AMAZING by the way. The whole conversation about her not wearing socks and how one of her super powers must be not getting sweaty feet was priceless.The last story, the one that goes back in time and covers her time as an Air-force pilot and an intelligence offic...
The Spider-Man tie-ins are neat, but Ms. Marvel's role is jarred a bit too much in the wake of Secret Invasion. The extended backstory on Carol Danvers' pre-superhero days isn't an especially gripping spy story.
On first read thru I thought this was the worst marvel book out, even flipping thru it there wasn't much action, and the big bad and big fight was against a super strong guy in a suit. Once i gave it its chance, knowing it's more of espionage type stories, we're presented first with Carol Danvers' time before getting powers, which actually helped get to know and maybe empathize with her character. She's a badass without powers. When we're back in the present, once I settled in for this subtle ty...
I knew next to nothing about Ms. Marvel so this was probably not the best introduction. Too much annoying Spider-Man and too little about her. I actually stopped reading after the first story because it might as well have been a Spider-Man story and that's not what I was looking for. I picked up the book again after a year? two? and found Ms. Marvel's military background intriguing and now have a bunch of blank holes about what happened to certain bad guys and why she wasn't using her powers. Th...
I have yet to know why I care about these flashbacks, and I'm super confused about Carol's powers. Does she still not have them from the other fight? But wait, Secret Invasion happened and she had powers then. . . Why is she a fugitive? WTF? I read the main Secret Invasion but it was over a year ago so maybe I don't remember something.(Five minutes later)OK wait wait, I think I know what's going on now. Norman Osborne is in charge of the Avengers now right? But they never came out and said it in...
Ms. Marvel returns in this sixth installment of her (now former as she is Captain Marvel now) series, and it was both interesting and frustrating at the same time. It was interesting because we got more a look at the heart of the beautiful and tough hero, but frustrating for how we had no real resolution. The issues in this graphic novel detailed her home life, how she was harmed by Rogue (back when the mutant was still evil) and her induction into spec ops.All of this painted a picture of a sma...
Three stars was kind of pushing it for me on this one. I usually find Spider-man's banter amusing, but this was just gross. The whole trade seemed disjointed, but once we got to her past it was really interesting. Then it all sort of fell apart for me as the ascension storyline went on, and then Spidey showed up again. High point - Machine Man.
I guess really that this would be 3 1/2 stars. There was no story in this book like volume 5 would suggest. This was a bunch of short stories. They were not bad, in fact they were very entertaining, I was just excited from the last volume to continue the story and that did not happen. So I guess that maybe that happens in vol 7? I guess we will see.
More like a 2.75/5 but goodreads doesn't think about that. As someone who hasn't read any origin stories to how Ms. Marvel began, I was thoroughly enjoying the beginning of this volume - learning bits and pieces about Carol before she became a superhero. But when that ended, so did my enjoyment. I loved the bits and pieces with Spiderman (including the annual) but everything else fell really flat for me, to the point where I almost put it down. I really don't know if I want to continue this run
"..I hereby place you under arrest for practicing as an unlicensed superhero.""Practicing"? Am I so bad at what I do that you people think I'm practicing?!"This would be a very difficult book to write a full review for. Not impossible, but definitely time-consuming and I can almost guarantee that anyone outside of the Marvel Universe still would only have a vague idea of what was going on by the time I was finished. I can't describe Carol's visit to her dying father without exploring her memory
Now this volume was great! I love getting Carol's back story and seeing her as a kick-ass human is a lot of fun, especially since she's almost more kick-ass as an army pilot (and definitely more confident in herself) than she is a lot of the time as Ms. Marvel.One thing that I can't let pass without comment, however, is a complete lack of continuity between one issue and the next (view spoiler)[-- they got Carol's broken arm WRONG! In issue #32, Ghazi smashes Carol's left arm with a sledgehammer...
Ms Marvel chases Spiderman in a light hearted plot. Then she takes on the storyteller. And then there is the main storyline that takes place mostly in the past when she has no powers and is a pilot. This is a really good story, showing that you don't need to use powers to be a superhero. A very good read.
It’s incredible how much of a difference a female artist makes. There were so few ass and boob shots in this it was so refreshing. The storyline made sense and I quite enjoyed reading this one.
Better than the last volume, perhaps because Brian Reed writes an excellent Spider-Man, who shows up in a few stories in this volume.
This collection had a great plot to follow on from Secret Invasion. I liked the visit to her family and exploration of the long term effects of what Rogue did to her (something I need to read). It added some depth which is important. I also enjoyed the darker edge of her new mission and relying on her spy skills rather than superpowers. I do feel like I'm missing a lot of extra content with this one though.. I've not read Dark Reign yet so I've no idea about why Norman Osborn is hunting her, the...
This book is a bit of a hodgepodge. It starts out with Ms. Marvel Annual #1, which is a team-up between Spider-man and Ms. Marvel after Ms. Marvel attempts to capture Spidey for being unregistered fail and a group of roots attack the city. The story is fun, although Spider-man steals the show, but also has a few remarks that are a bit sophomoric.Ms. Marvel/The Storyteller Special #1 finds Ms. Marvel flying to warn the Storyteller, a boy with the power to bend reality to his imagination, that AIM...
Contains three unrelated stories. The first features Spiderman, the second is a pirate adventure with a strange mutant and the third takes place before Ms. Marvel gained her powers.First story = fluffSecond = AverageThird = A good story involving Carol Danver's spy activities.It is especially good for a series that is generally weak and contains above average art.NotesSee the first meeting of Tony Stark and Carol Danvers.Learning CurveLow: Good for new readers.
