review 1: Manga-flavored mythology in the old west. The cast of characters are iconic and cool. DeConnick gives them voices that makes us like them right away. When Rios' art shines, it shines brightly indeed -- which is most of the time. Occasionally the highly detailed inks and the duoto...

review 1: This is the second collection of the new “Marvel Now” series, containing issues 9-13 and the annual. The concept of the series was to appeal to fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The characters are modeled more on their film counterparts, but the storylines still remain withi...

review 1: I really wished I liked Pretty Deadly more than I do. I was very close to giving it a 2, but it scrapped by with a 2.5. So what exactly is wrong with it? It's definitely not the art. I am not displeased that this book is part of my personal collection because the design is fabulo...

review 1: Carol Danvers is a great character and an easy one to like, but readers picking up the series for the first time are probably going to be lost coming into this second volume. It's still great but I did feel like I was missing a lot since I haven't read the Ms Marvel series that c...

review 1: I feel like a lot of comics just rush right into introducing as many characters as possible as quickly as possible and that can get a little frustrating. Still, this story is cool if you're into spooky ladies seeking revenge and dead things telling stories. A spooky fantastical w...

review 1: My first encounter with Carol Danvers was the issue of UNCANNY X-MEN where Rogue moved in. And Carol revealed herself to be someone who was severely wounded, twice now betrayed by those she thought were her friends. The character has subsequently been treated with a lot more dign...

review 1: Just jumping from the Marvel Cinematic Universe into Marvel's actual comics? Like to brush up on Carol Danver's exploits before she becomes the first woman to get her own stand-alone Marvel movie? Then this is an excellent place to start out. The first volume starts Carol off alo...

review 1: Reading this, I'm struck by the initial reaction to Captain Marvel's new look, the universal revulsion to the short hair. Carol is constantly having to navigate the "hard"/ masculine parts of her identity and the "soft"/ feminine parts, and the character's costume history is only...

review 1: It's hard to judge based on one issue of a comic, but I'm totally intrigued. The art is cool and the concept seems pretty great: All "non-compliant" women on Earth are sent to an outpost planet penitentiary, but everyone calls it Bitch Planet. Looks like the main characters are b...

review 1: A little disappointing. Though in all honestly, I probably wouldn't have been disappointed at all if it weren't written by DeConnick. I've absolutely loved the last few things I've read by her, and this was just not up to that standard. The story itself is underwhelming, unclear,...
