Captain Marvel, Vol. 1: Higher, Further, Faster, More by Kelly Sue DeConnick

aceinit's review against another edition

1.0

I want to like DeConnick's Captain Marvel in all its incarnations. I really do. But something about the wackiness of the storytelling always puts me off. I was hoping the 2014 reboot would be better than the one from 2012 or 2013, but this installment actually made me cancel my monthly subscription to the series.

Almost everything I have to say about it has already been said by John Wiswell.

I will add that there were times when the art and story felt so redundant, particularly when Carol dealt with the local village elders, that I felt like I was reading the same couple of pages over and over and over again.

A basic, standalone Captain Marvel book... A good introduction for anyone who is new to her as a character.

Definitely need to read more by DeConnick. Captain Marvel was funny and just a straight up badass. She wasn't into trying to pacify everything in the name of peace and superhero guidelines.

Ugh omg I loved this book so much! I’ve been wanting to read about Caption Marvel for a while and I did enjoy the Guardians coming in and the overall color palette of this comic but I found the story a little hard to follow.

not a great starting point if you don't know marvel characters because you'll miss out on some fun parts, but excellent
