Marvel Mania

Still on my quest to become a Carol Danvers convert (slow and steady), I finally got my hands on Captain Marvel #2 & #3, and it was definitely worth the wait.

#2 doesn't waste any time in throwing you right back into the action. Within 10 pages you witness a moment of sentimentality, a theft, a world record attempt, a failed record attempt and finally some good old fashioned girl power. Did I mention there's a little bit of 'timey wimey' (to quote Dr Who) business in there. Without giving too much away, Danvers finds herself in an unknown place and time (hint hint) fighting alongside an all female pilot squad.

Just when you think things couldn't get any-more confusing and timey-wimey, #3 plummets you right back into the warzone, and Decconick throws in another curve ball in the shape of some serious Kree armada. And once again Soy's artwork is effortless as the fight scenes have your eyes dancing across the pages. I really am enjoying Soy's work, and these issues are made even more explosive because of it.

Captain Marvel #2 / #3 definitely tick all the boxes, and Danvers gets to play both the saved and the savior. Definitely one to watch.
