The first story was good but the sudden story and graphics change completely affected how much I enjoyed reading it.

I wanted to give it a higher rating - the writing was on point, the action scenes well choreographed, and had cameos from faves like Monica Rambeau and Tony Stark (who at this point would probably blanch at seeing their names together) - but the artwork in the second half was so bad, I had to knock it down a star. Those issues were sketchy and unattractive and had some seriously wonky physiognomy/anatomy issues going on. Legs should not look like that, dude. Even if you are part Kree.

The arc drawn by Filipe Andrade is amazing, but unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of Dexter Soy's art and you have to read the two-issues worth of opening arc in the beginning of this trade.

Three stars probably isn't fair. The writing and story were just as great as the first volume, and if I could rate this on those things alone this would be a five-star review.

But the art change! Andrade's art could almost be beautiful(bit too many T&A poses to not get eye-rolled), except it doesn't fit with Captain Marvel at all. Seeing Carol drawn as a porcelain doll with a visible rib cage is so incredibly distracting. The writing is good, but not good enough to keep you from noticing those spaghetti knees.

Great book, great art, but I don't like cliffhangers!

I liked this one better than Volume 1 because I didn't feel so much like I was missing ALL the backstory, but there was still a lot going on and I'm pretty sure I followed very little of it. On the plus side, giant robots! Dinosaurs! Adorable cosplaying child!

It would have been a four, but the interior artwork for issues 9-12 made me want to rip my eyeballs out.

Good enough storyline though I wish it weren't so episodic. I wish Dexter Soy was kept on...Felipe Andrade's work just did NOT do it for me. Wide-set buggy eyes, limbs that shrivel into nothing. ??

Could I have the plot-line from 9-12 (the headache/no-flying plot) drawn by Dexter Soy? Because I love the plot (which means I need to go round up vol 3) but I really, really am not jazzed by the art for those issues. It's totally a taste and preference thing, but I really don't like the weird, elongated, flat-face/no-nose style.
