davramlocke 's review for:
Captain Marvel, Volume 1: In Pursuit of Flight
by Richard Elson, Emma Ríos, Karl Kesel, Al Barrionuevo, Dexter Soy, Kelly Sue DeConnick
This is my first foray into anything related to Captain Marvel, so take what I have to say with that in mind. I'll review this as a completely stand-alone thing as I have read nothing else about the character.
I like the idea of Captain Marvel as represented here. She is a strong, capable women with some of the strongest powers in the MCU. That said, this storyline is really nonsensical, largely due to the fact that it's time-traveled based which works about once in a thousand attempts. I did like that the time-travel aspects allowed us to see how she got her powers, as it was a way to show that scene without flash-backing the reader (even if the result is the same).
I want to like Carol Danvers as a character, but there's, so far, too much patriotic nonsense and tough guy bravado. I suppose I don't know of too many other characters in Marvel like that, and I find it off-putting. This is a problem with making soldiers into superheroes though, and while Captain America oddly does not suffer from the same issue, I can maybe understand why they would go that route with a female character.
Nevertheless, I'm going to keep reading these and see how they evolve.
