I truly love this arc by Kelly Thompson. I’m drawn to the way Carol not only shows off her might in the face of her entire team, but the way she runs a problem over in her head until she can determine a solution.
Doesn’t hurt that she’s given a whole badass design either!

I LOVED this story. Probably my favorite Captain Marvel arc yet. So intriguing, exciting, and just really well done. Kelly Thompson, you are my new fave!

Pretty solid arc. Good action art. I’m a sucker for a good “hero takes everyone else down” story, and this does it in a way that is both believable and understandable (eventually).
I wonder why it is we want this kind of story? Perhaps we are skeptical of the feasibility of actual heroism. We want our heroes to be as paranoid and selfish as we are, which would explain the Batman of it all. It’s probably good to note here that Captain Marvel is an American soldier in 2020. I know she has a lot of sympathy as a tough, cool, female role model, but I think we should note that it’s a blonde blue eyed soldier engaging in these conspiratorial “must plan for everything” behavior, and is stopping children from blowing up instead of causing it. Like I think subtextual this story is saying soldiers are key to protecting the migrants in detention camps? Worrying to say the least.
