The biggest thing that pushed me out of comics in the 90s was Marvel doing too many title/universe-spanning crossovers. I try to mostly read books that keep to themselves like Squirrel Girl and Gwenpool but started reading CM because I liked Kelly Thompson's other books.

So yes, this is part of major crossover storyline but other than not explaining who

is the Captain Marvel issues in this did a really good job of providing just enough info about the overall Empyre storyline to make this book understandable and enjoyable. The single issue of Empyre at the end I could've done without as it doesn't make a lot of sense by itself.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - Kelly Thompson’s run on CM is so damned good. She effortlessly blends the jokey and the heavy, and finds the most elegant ways to weave Carols history into her new adventures.

One qualm about this edition is that it published the comics gathered out of order. Should you read this, skip to the back of it and read the issue of “Empyre” first...then start the book to better understand why Carol is...well...what she is.
