As with the first Captain Marvel book, I liked half the art (Dexter Soy's work) and then hated the latter half and the story line is a little lack luster in comparison to the first volume but this still was a thrilling, and rather interesting outing with Carol Danvers as she teams up (quite literally) with former Captain Marvel Monica Rambeau to take on a giant robot, throws down in a dinosaur fight, and fights Deathbird. However, her world is turned upside down when she discovers a tumor in her head could erase her memories if she keeps flying. Considering Carol is a pilot and loves flying, this is pretty traumatic news for her. I really loved how DeConnick balanced the outrageous super-hero antics with the more personal story telling and I really feel like Captain Marvel feels like a real woman and not a cartoony character. The art wasn't great in this and the story meandered a bit but this is still a wonderful run! Can't wait for the movie!

Not quite as enjoyable as the previous volume. Too many random callbacks and references for a newby reader. ( )

This series continues to be amazing. A solid second arc with more awesome side characters that I want to know more about. And a guest appearance by former-Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau! Can't wait to read the next volume of this series (it relaunched with a new #1 after this volume but with the same writer. Yes, it's confusing. There were marketing reasons... the story continues though). ( )

Oh, thank God this book grew in this part, because I was beginning to grow a little worried about this book all through Vol. 1. But Vol. 2 marched in and showed me it was capable and growth, of amending the reverse gender whitewashing/bashing of book one, and made me laugh, smile, sigh, and nod along. I love that the cast got exponentially bigger in this one. It's still at it's heart A Girl Power Comic, but it fleshed out.

There are suddenly all the tenants. There's her tiny own "Pepper Potts" secretary. There's a whole collective of friends. There are men and women helping Carol, equally, both powered and not. I started being able to see this book on par with being able to stand up in the universe it was written in and not as a stand-apart Comic for Girls. I love Carol's best friends, human and superhuman.

I loved the story, and the power-pull back. I loved the epistolary note nature of the later one trying to keep on a schedule.




The only reason this book is missing it's last star, is that the art is all over the place in this one, and I, sadly, am a massive art lover.

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. ?? ( )
