These different ways to tell stories lifts that veil that seems to cast a shadow of making it difficult for new readers to come in and pleasing older readers for which Marvel's been known of late. With a handful of writers being the custodians of the majority of the books in the line, it's great to see this fresh new take and what better time than Marvel NOW! to take a good look at how DeConnick is writing this series, or how Mark Waid has done Daredevil, to get some fresh inspiration?

Captain Marvel is one hell of an awesome series. Each issue solidifies it as one of Marvel's best new books. It's got more heart packed into it's pages than any superhero book has the right to, and that is a good thing. Hopefully it'll be around for a very long time, because if these first three issues are any indication, we are in for quite the treat. Read Full Review

It's only #3 but already I'm getting bored of saying how beautiful the artwork is. It would be a better and more interesting read if I was able to find and analyse something that I didn't like but for the foreseeable future i don't really think that it is even possible to happen. As badass as it is to see the 2 page spread of the banshee squad uploading their clips without a doubt the stand out shots is the final page with Carol just floating in mid-air with the giant prowler in the background. Whoever scouted Soy is in need of some sort of award. Read Full Review

Last words in this review are props to cover artists Ed McGuinness, Dexter Vines & Javier Rodriguez – this is a great cover. If I was in the business of picking top covers each week, this one is the clear winner of the 08/29 releases, hands down. Read Full Review

Captain Marvel is shaping up to be another great new series from Marvel. People always complain we don't have enough comics featuring a female lead and this comic is here to help start solving that problem. There is so many strong butt kicking women in this comic it's like it's a new age. Reading this and seeing Carol back in her own series brings a smile to my face. Kelly Sue Deconnick and Dexter Soy are making this a better comic each month. Where this current story is going to go, I'm not really sure. I'm not really concerned because I know it's going to be a fun ride. Read Full Review

This title is definitely shaping up. I wasn't bowled over by the first issue. But the second was better and I think this one is even better than that. PS, I love that cover. I think I might have found my next tattoo! Read Full Review

I really want to like this title - love those covers - but I'm just not connecting at all, so I'll be giving this one a miss. Sad to say. Read Full Review

Captain Marvel succeeds in providing Marvel with its biggest female-led title, and also in doing so with integrity. DeConnick and Soy have found a groove that works for them, allowing Carol Danvers to grow naturally and organically instead of being put through the ringer every year or so with a new event tie-in arc that only serves the greater Marvel universe. For the first time in years, Carol Danvers is receiving the excellent treatment she deserves, and it's fantastic. Read Full Review

After setting up a dramatic cliffhanger with a few pages to spare in this issue, DeConnick gives the reader some DVD extra-type materials. First up is a two-page epilogue set in 1961 and drawn by Elson and Quintana. That places it in the past for the Marvel Universe, but not in the same era as the main tale itself, providing the possibility that DeConnick is throwing out subplots to be sewn through the longer narrative. The final page, drawn by Karl Kesel with art by Javier Rodriguez feels like something equivalent to what Dark Horse was doing with the Escapist in the not so recent past. Kesel delivers a comic strip tale that brought a smile to my face and had me wishing to see more of the same as this series continues. These last three pages buoyed up the book for me and are already serving to be more memorable than the main tale as I file "Captain Marvel" #3 away. Read Full Review
