This was one of the Secret Wars: Warzones volumes, and while I usually steer clear of those, I decided to pick this one up because who doesn’t want more Captain Marvel in their lives?
Basically the main thing going for this volume is the incredible writing from Kelly Sue DeConnick and the characters themselves. The story was about Dr. Doom ruling over the planet and a whole army of Thors enforcing everything. The Banshees aka Carol Corps feel like there’s something more going on and decide to investigate. It felt pretty basic but the characters were all really enjoyable, including the weird alternate reality Rhodey.
The artwork was mediocre at best but I’m super picky on that front. But it didn’t help that the artists switched between issues and just left everything feeling kind of messy.
If you’re a huge fan of Captain Marvel or DeConnick’s writing, then you might mildly enjoy this. But overall it’s a volume that doesn’t add anything to Carol’s character arc so it can definitely be skipped.
Rating: ★★★
I was wondering about this! I’ve only read Deconnick’s run and I enjoyed it. But maybe for now I’ll skip this.
Yeah this definitely wasn’t like her regular run, but I guess there’s only so much she could do with it being Secret Wars 🤷🏻♀️
