The new Captain Marvel series is out! Yay! Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way…I’ll admit that I was sad to see the previous team for Captain Marvel leave, but so far I love what I’ve seen from the new creative team. They’re holding true to the character while also adding their own spin…I approve.
Honestly, looking back at this issue, I have trouble believing that it was just a single issue instead of three. SO much happened in this one issue, so it’s a lot to take in. But it did a great job jump-starting the series.
The first issue established where Carol stands, in pretty much every sense of the meaning. We kind of get a good idea of how much or little change we can expect to see from her and it set a baseline on her emotions, friendships, teams, etc etc.
And the cameos! A lot of characters that I’ve grown used to seeing in Captain Marvel made me so unbelievably happy. I really want to list out who showed up, but I feel like at least one of them you need to see the whole scene to get the full excitement of it all!
I loved a couple of the decisions in particular that were made in this issue. Again, I can’t really say what or why, but trust me, it’s good.
There was a lot of action as well as all the setup I already mentioned. At least two distinct fights, which is all sorts of amazing. So if you’ve been missing watching Carol kick butt, then this is totally the issue for you!
