The Teen Alpha Flight squad establishes contact with Wendy on Earth. Also, they get Carol knocked out, oops. There's a perfectly fine plot at the core of this story, and the outside looks pretty gorgeous thanks to Michele Bandini's excellent art. All the bits between the surface and the skeleton - characterization, pacing, motivation, technobabble - are made of suspicious-smelling cheese. I was hoping that Margaret Stohl's YA novelist chops would synergize with this arc's plucky teen protagonists, but so far these kids are hard to sympathize with or even really remember. In the background of their story, Carol is still stomping around as a mercurial, not-very-military, not-very-clever, not-fun-to-read-about drama queen. The space station might be running out of supplies; fortunately, this version of Carol Danvers can subsist entirely on a diet of scenery. more
