I'm just more and more in awe of Captain Marvel, she's so dedicated to her purpose but also cares so much for her people. I loved the reveal of Chewie and also Rocket's reaction, it was wonderful! I laughed quite a bit and had so much fun reading this installment. Perhaps only one of the stories was a bit too cliche and corny for me but other than that it was great. Can't wait to read the next one!

Extra stars given just for the term Flerkitten.

This volume was light and silly, with lots of heart. One issue is exclusively written in ryhmes and though at first I was hesitant about a whole issue in cheesy rhymes, I found this bit to be pretty enjoyable.

I love a good dark storyline when necessary, but there's something so great about comics that are just interested in having fun. This does a lot of great playing within the universe, highlighting some other great characters in the process.

My favourite issue in the volume is the first, but overall the whole volume was a blast.

enjoyable but not as great as volume one. there was one seemingly random issue with a world of rhyming people and that was just.... a little bizarre. but i love how captain marvel handles herself in all of these crazy situations; she is very true to herself which is great.

not going to lie, i didn’t know who half of these returning characters were.... maybe i should have started at the beginning BEGINNING with captain marvel, but i just found this art to be so eye catching!

carol is great, i really love her character, and her interactions with literally everyone - including the baddies. cant wait for the next one :)

It may not be possible to tell a good story with Rocket Raccoon - this certainly isn't one. The Captain Marvel in space stories are just too silly and pointless for me. They get a bit better when on Earth - though to be fair much of that is the story of people around Carol. Lila Cheney is in this one but just doesn't read true to me. Ah well this book is definitely a mixed bag but it ends well.

It’s Captain Marvel and a bunch of cats/flerkens of course I enjoyed it.

Silly, and not in a good way.
The plot in each of the single issues is so childlike silly, it tries to be humorous, but fails miserably. Giving up on this series.

In the spirit of rhyme-filled volume two,
Here is my Captain Marvel review.

Very silly and very fun:
I enjoyed it more than volume one.

That's not a cat, that's a dimensional gateway to a pocket universe!

Make. Mine. Marvel.

It was okay.

It wasn’t a favorite. Not a bad story. Nicely done. Just not a personal favorite or something I’ll be thinking about later.
