Individual issues read.
I'm not sure how much this paperback collects. The description says the first 6 issues but the first 5 are an arc and issue 6 starts a new arc ...
Regardless, this should be a must for fans of the movie or of Kelly Thompson. She continues her great streak of great character work, fun crazed plots and warmth and humor.
Gorgeous art and a Rogue and Captain Marvel confrontation, this book has everything.

single issues read. idk why this tpb includes #6 when it's a different story though? anyway i loved kelly thompson's hawkeye and just coming from a-force, this was a good read, mostly. although i loved the characters, this plot... so boring. the villain? a misogynist asshole, like really? that's who these powerful women are fighting? who even is this guy? yeah so still pretty okay start and this series goes on for more than 30 issues currently and i think i'm sticking around.

For some reason I decided not to read this run when it came out and I somewhat regret it, but now that it’s ending and a new Captain Marvel run is coming out soon I figured now would be the best time to start. There were things I loved about this book and things I didn’t love about it.
The writing is pretty solid, for one, and the art is beautiful. I love the character designs, the apocalyptic styles were very fun. The dynamics between the characters were also really compelling, especially among the women, which of course in a story like this is very important. I’m glad they didn’t shy away from addressing Carol’s trauma, both with Rogue and her sexual assault. I also felt like Som was a pretty compelling character and I’d love to see more of him in the future.
There are a few aspects of it I didn’t like, however. For one, the way gender is portrayed is extremely binary which sort of rubbed me the wrong way. I also felt that Echo’s deafness wasn’t handled as well as it could have. They address the fact that she can read lips in the beginning of the story but they frequently have conversations facing away from her. They can build high-powered weapons and planes in a matter of hours but no one can be bothered to learn a little bit of sign language so they can communicate with her better? The closest we get is Hazmat learning some very rudimentary signs that we only see in three panels. Idk.
It was campy and a bit of a fun “girl power”-type story but that’s about it.

I started reading this volume as individual issues not too long after I saw the Captain Marvel movie. I really enjoyed it, especially the scenes with Captain Marvel and Rogue.

Thank you Kelly Thompson for bringing back the Carol I adore. This was gloriously feminine and incredibly badass.
