4.0

Prepping for the new Captain Marvel movie had me grabbing up this omnibus of the 2012 Captain Marvel Comics #1-12. I had a great time reading it and getting reacquainted with Captain Marvel! I’m looking forward to finishing off the 2012 series and continuing on through the 2014 series and into present day. Captain Marvel’s powers are still a little murky in this book, but we get a much clearer picture of who Carol Danvers is and her past. The only complaint I really have is that for issues 9-12 the artist was terrible & in my opinion has probably never seen a woman in real life. His renderings of Captain Marvel (& any other woman) are so disproportionate as to be hilarious.. often times had ridiculous issues with legs being drawn as either longer than physically possible or being drawn complete disjointed (the bottom half wouldn’t line up with the top half).. plus all the pictures looked like hastily drawn sketches rather than detailed pictures, though you could probably get away with saying that’s a personal preference. Either way, I hope the future issues don’t keep with that particular artist.
