This is the latest version of the character of Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel. She's had a lot of reboots lately, so this may not be the greatest place to start, but, hey, here we are. Carol grew up in Boston, dreamed of becoming an astronaut, joined the military to achieve it, and wound receiving powers from a group of aliens called the Kree. In modern day, she works on a space station protecting the earth from aliens and whatnot.
I mainly feel that this was just not enough or the right content for a new trade. The series deliberately doesn't get into details of what happened in Civil War II, a marvel event that Carol heavily featured in and informs part of the series. But even given that, she doesn't come off as particularly likable or effective. Her emotional issues are interfering with her work, but she won't seriously seek help for them. She tries to protect the alien refugees of a space war, but doesn't do a good job. And worst of all, for some reason her space station is being funded by some stupid tv drama based on her life. How a tv show rather than the UN is funding all that tech is lost on me.
You can easily find better characters to read about than this. Go check out Wonder Woman.
Now they are making a movie about her and she has to put up with the invasion into her life it causes because they are funding the Alpha Flight Space Station which is in dire need of funds. Danvers is having nightmares of what happened to Tony and is seeing a mandated shrink to help deal with it. Suddenly, she senses that a Kree child is in danger. She flies to the settlement camp on Earth and finds her being kidnapped by a shapeshifter. She saves the child and brings her back to the space station.
She names the child Bean since she doesn't seem to have a name. They find out that other Kree children have been kidnapped and someone, likely Hydra, is building a weapon of some sort using the Kree. Captain Marvel is having problems though. Her powers have started becoming erratic and uncontrollable. She'll need help figuring this out, but she lost a lot of friends with what she did. Will any of them help her? This book goes aways to redeem Captain Marvel's reputation after the pretty despicable things she did in the other comics. She's truly suffering for her bad decisions that I believe she regrets making. It will be interesting to see what direction this series takes the comic in. I highly recommend this book.
Edit: I’ve just read it a 2nd time and I stand by my original opinion that it starts out okay but much of what happens seems pointless and then the last half of the book is very rushed with a couple of glaring errors. It reads like Margaret Stohl even got bored of writing it and wanted it to be over. The art is good but would look better with a teenage character based series since it’s a little more cartoony. The writer doesn’t seem to be able to grasp how a military woman in command would think and act. Marvel should really hand the series off to someone else.
