I've heard amazing things about Kelly Sue DeConnick's take on Captain Marvel and I'm really glad that I picked it up. This volume is packed full kick ass female characters. It's great too see from a Marvel book and I can see why this book has such a passionate fan base.For someone picking up a Ca...
Reading about Captain Marvel in the Dark Avengers Assemble book made me want to see what was happening to the Captain in the Marvel NOW universe. And, truth be told, it was a disappointing read. An unbalanced time traveling jaunt that doesn't really say much about her and that basically "solves i...

From all the hype I'd heard about it, I expected it to be much better than it was. Maybe it was just me going in with high expectations, but I just didn't find it very good. The pacing was erratic, the art difficult to follow, and it kind of felt like a Sandman knock-off if I'm being honest. Even...
Although it feels a little disconnected -- the TPB is a collection of disparate Avengers stories, rather than any kind of continuous story arc -- this is a great book. It's funny till it's not, serious in the right places, with some great character moments and a great team. Spider-woman and Hulk ...
DeConnick and De Landro kick the series off in a big, exciting way. It's an unabashed feminist screed, but it avoids being preachy, and it's also highly entertaining. It sets up a bit of a dystopia, where corruption is incredibly common, and people who are "non-compliant" are sent to a completely...
