This was actually pretty solid. I should have went back and read Kelly Sue Deconnick first run at the character before jumping in on her 2nd.

So this is when Carol takes the mantle and becomes Captain Marvel. I kind of love the first issue being about her not wanting to, and respecting Marvell, but Captain America is like "Listen here homeslice, you're a good person. You've protected a lot of people. You are HONORING his name. So do it. For us. For you." And that is one of the big deciding factors for her. The first issue is actually great.

Then we get into territory I usually hate. Time travel. Captain Marvel gets thrown into the past, and oh joy, it's so fun...Not. Honestly, it's not horrible. You do get to see her in action and her powers and skillset a pretty great. I actually enjoy the art here, very water brush style. But the storyline is same old same old helping the past with her great powers but nothing really changes.

Overall, a solid introduction but nothing mindblowing. I do like how Carol is written here though. Her internal monologue makes her interesting. Will keep reading. A 3 out of 5.
