CAPTAIN MARVEL 014, anybody?
Allow me.
THIS issue is tremendous. I haven't been avidly following the Black Vortex event. I ran with it for 2 issues(?) and but it really didn't put me in that much needed Marvel head lock I expected -- especially with so many of my faves mingling -- so I went casual on it until this issue -- which is, again, tremendous. I'm not 100% on the happenings but I think this issue succeeds regardless of not knowing what happened previouslyspoilers:end of spoilers All I needed to know to enjoy this issue was that Carol is high speed sparkle chasing through the vaccuum of space with an ugo mirror artifact and its awesome. The stuff going on is awesome -- not the mirror. I don't care about the mirror.
to "the Viscardi" or who these "Slaughter Lords" are or even what Kitty's plan is.
David Lopez is ON POINT this issue.
I've admitted to being dismissive of his pencils previously and I've been vocal in the past about "Blah! Return to Earth! I'm over space." but I say thee NAY. THIS issue was space fun zoom pow! And David is bringing some A-game action
spoilers:end of spoilers Its beautiful and I've read it 3 times now. So fun.
Carol is buying time and/or delivering this super souping mirror to Kitty for some as yet to be revealed plan and she's got all kinds of alterna-species after her. This issue has Power Ranger villains GALORE! Oh and Peter Quill's Dad. Kelly Sue is bringing the snark and the sass good and rough too. Even Carol's mirror-offering cosmic cooter (for real) didn't pull me out of the fun (much) ---especially when Miss Danvers does herself some hawt hawt hawt sparkle"You can't surround me FOO!" spiral action. "TZZZT"! You damn right, TZZT! Of course it ends unresolved because it IS an event so.... whatever.
