Um….this comic is a bit like a lifetime movie, a sparse plot, plenty of sappy moments, weepy characters, and someone dies….of cancer. Pretty much nothing happens in this story beyond the death of Captain Marvel….which doesn’t come as much of a surprise SINCE IT IS THE TITLE OF THE BOOK!
The only real redeeming quality is the all-star appearances and the great art which really go hand in hand. The full page spreads of a multitude of famous faces are beautiful.

Sometimes the comic media gets lost in the superheroics and forgets to be relatable. This book is the best case of remembering the people involved in the heroics and to make them relatable to their followers.
I have always loved how science fiction can give us the oportunity to focus on an issue from an extrapolated point of view, and what better way to speak of the sadness, the tragedy and the anger in the face of the absolute impotence of figthing cancer than to make it happen to one who can fight intergalactic battles against forces that dwarf the power of gods? To see the people that love him fall short when they always come out victorious?
It's a powerfull story and it reminds us all that we're all mortal and vulnerable.
Beautiful.
