While we get a smidge of material on the Earth based younger version, most of what we get is a mix of the grim and gritty and the light and upright versions of the Captain, one being in the present and the other a flashback. I latched more onto the Klavus material because it felt like it had purpose to it and I didn't care much for the flashback side as it's too soon to give us more of his background when we have so little of him in the present. The grim and gritty Captain is intriguing as I really, really liked the flow of the action, the illustration and color design, but I hated the dialogue and the way it was broken up throughout the issue in a way that kept it from flowing as a whole. I'm still hugely keen on the title based on what it presented at first and I'm hopeful that this is all going to figure properly into events going forward. But this issue has chilled my enthusiasm a bit. Read Full Review
Overall, this doesn't feel as indebted to Kirby, visually, as I expected, and in a way, that is a relief. I love Kirby, but I am glad to see everyone here following their own muse, instead of trying to replicate a style that few can master. Read Full Review
Captain Victory is good book but lacks some explanation. Read Full Review
Enjoyable and fun but feels like it's holding back when it should be going head first into warp drive. Read Full Review
