Captain Marvel continues to be an entertaining series.

The first two issues deal with the War of Realms stuff. Though instead of being some big epic crossover, it's basically Dr. Strange and Captain Marvel switch bodies. In doing so, this brings up some really funny situations, and also allows the war of realms not to overstay its welcome. Then the 2nd half of this is Captain Marvel losing her powers for some reason and then a new hero showing up, Star, who can be the key to why this is all going wrong.

Overall, this is pretty entertaining. It mostly helps that Thompson clearly loves Carol and Co. and Decides to put them in interesting situations. Star is...unique. I think the twist on her works well enough, and makes the fights fantastic. I think the silly two parter in the start is fun and thankful it was only couple of issues. The actual art is pretty good though in the two parter at the start it could range from pretty awful at times. Also, the ending didn't do much for me.

Overall, not amazing, but good, solid, and fun. I give it a 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4 because this is by far the best run of Captain Marvel in a long time.
