Following the events of Secret Wars, Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps defend all that remains... Battleworld, ruled by Victor Von Doom. After being visited by the Thors, Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps get sent out on a kill strike mission for who they think is Ultron. Things are not always as they seem, though...

Woo! It sure is great to see an all female military team being represented in comics. But, sadly, this one didn’t thrill me. I picked this one up after hearing great things about Kelly Sue DeConnnick’s first run with Captain Marvel. Maybe I set my hopes too high. I’m not that familiar with the title character, but what really drew me in were the Carol Corps. I’m hoping we get more backstory with them in future issues. The book itself is written well and has that classic comic feel to it. I definitely think this run will get progressively better, as it shows promise with an interesting storyline. If you’re into badass ladies on the front field, give this one a look. Captain Marvel and The Carol Corps #1 written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Kelly Thompson and illustrated by David Lopez, on stands now!
