Captain Marvel, Vol. 1

Dimitris Papastergiou

Yeah.. It was ok.

I really want to like Cap Marvel but... that one-dimensional character without having a fucking personality, is not doing it for me.

This is Cap. Marvel: Oh something is coming this way and it looks threatening to the world that I'm protecting. I'm gonna punch it. 

Nope.

This has some fun moments but mostly it's boring as hell.

And let me tell you the main reason: ALPHA FLIGHT!

Like Seriously: WHY?

WHYYYY????

You needed yet another space crew like the Guardians? WHY? Marvel already has Star Wars EVERY SINGLE MONTH releasing with Han and Chewey. Why would ANYONE want to read about SASQUATCH and FUCKING PUCK in FUCKING SPACE? In a title called Captain Marvel btw. No.

And it's not even that we're talking about a team that everyone loves or misses or something. Fucking Alpha Flight man. Like every time I tried over the years reading anything with them I either got bored immediately or was forcing myself to finish at least 1 volume. Puck that shit.

Artwork was good. 

Space adventures in it were meh. Dialogue was sometimes cringeworthy.. funny attempts and all that.. nope. Anyway. At least Carol's costume looks awesome! That's all I liked I guess, along with the art and the thing with Mar-Vell was nice to read. 

No matter how much I want Mar-Vell back... cuz well, I grew up reading Captain Marvel, I don't see him coming back with Carol here having a movie coming up too. I'd expect Marvel would put their A game for the comic, this is at best ok. Like.. get this, at some point Puck is asking Captain Marvel for an autograph, and he's like "it's for my sister"... and next panel "ok... it's for me :) " . Queue laughter now. 

Seriously. 

The more I think about it ugh.. anyway... I hope it gets better cuz I'm gonna read Civil War II in a bit and continue reading all the CWII tie-ins.

If you're a fan of Captain Marvel, I dunno... cuz I'm trying to be and I can't because Marvel doesn't give a shit I guess, but IF you are--- yeah---then go ahead! Read it. You won't like it.

If you're a fan of Alpha Flight... well.. I'm sorry for you. Go out there and read more comics.

1 star for artwork. 1 more for Carol having the best fucking costume ever. Overall. Ok. I'm just being mean because it was super boring for me and Alpha Flight sucks hockey pucks.
