REVOLUTION!
The classic Fantastic Four villain MAHKIZMO has taken over Manhattan's Roosevelt Island and turned it into an apocalyptic wasteland! When CAPTAIN MARVEL ends up trapped there and cut off from the rest of world (including any Avengers-shaped reinforcements!), she'll need to build her own team out of allies, old and new - SPIDER-WOMAN, HAZMAT, ECHO and a man known only as SOM - in order to start a revolution to free the island's civilian inhabitants. With that kind of backup, Mahkizmo should be toast - but not everything is what it seems on this island...

If you've been waiting to give Captain Marvel a chance, there's never been a better time to make it happen. Read Full Review
The team behind Captain Marvel is off to a great start and they will hopefully continue to improve. As a pilot, the skys the limit for Carol, and ideally, for her story as well. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #2 feels like a demonstration of the status quo the creators want to set for this volume: brisk, exciting, tough, compassionate, and funny in a charmingly subtle way. It's put together with formidable skill both visually and narratively. If future issues hold to this level of quality, this whole series is headed into must-read territory. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #2 was another strong issue for the series. The antagonist is a bit on the heavy-handed side, but a) that's totally fine, and b) he's a villain from another series. So you can't even blame this series for him. I think using him here was well done, and goes a long way in furthering the points frequently shown in Captain Marvel series. Read Full Review
The tones of this issue were the highlight, without a doubt. It left me wishing that we could almost see Captain Marvel in a dystopian world all the time. That's the mark of a well-done plot and setting, if I may say so. Despite the heavier tones, the issue did manage to squeeze in a few laughs, leaving everything perfectly balanced. Read Full Review
A good second issue that focuses on Carol's leadership skills as well as what she's dealing with inside the barrier. The first issue blew me away and this section issue captures the leadership and guiding light of Carol Danvers. A reminder that Captain Marvel is a leader and an inspirational one. Read Full Review
Now that the crazy new status quo is upon us, the second issue of the new relaunch provides a proper set-up. Read Full Review
Carmen Carnero delivers some amazing art in this issue. Everything looks great and the characters look powerful and capable. The pace and tone of the story really allows for Carnero to push the action in the art and it works. Read Full Review
Works well as a superhero adventure, but it's going to read even better when a lot of these threads start to pay off. Read Full Review
CAPTAIN MARVEL #2 will pique your interest as Nuclear Man's plot builds upon itself. Though, the issue could have benefited from a bit more, in-depth plot development. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #2 is a comic that is completely driven by the character interactions. Kelly Thompson does a great job writing Captain Marvel dynamic with Spider-Woman and other heroes. Through that Captain Marvel was able to shine as a strong leader. That was something which needed since everything about Nuclear Man's plot falls flat. Hopefully the development of Nuclear Man's plot improves or else it will end up dragging the entire first arc of Thompson's Captain Marvel run down. Read Full Review
The end of the issue reveals a further complication. Hopefully that's the last thread, so that Thompson and crew can get to weaving this together into a story worth reading. This is a weak issue overall, but one that lays promising ground-work. Sometimes a story stumbles out the door then finds its feet after a few issues. I'm willing to say that's the case here. Read Full Review
All things considered, this series is a soft recommend at best. I can see where Thompson is going with the story and I'm still optimistic that everything will turn around once she starts bringing in some of the payoff. If you're interested in this series and you missed the first issue, you might as well skip this issue as well. Captain Marvel #2 is mostly just a stepping stone to the next few issues.

I feared this story. In fact I didn't order it because of the fact this look like another parallel earth story. Too closely from the first issue.
But the first issue was so good that I had to let Thompson a chance (That and the fact she was good on Mr & Mrs X, and very good on West Coast Avengers).
I didn't regreat my choice because this story isn't another reality change story. It's not a futur that will not ever see it again too. It's more smart than that, and have sense.
Ok weird that Hazmat was trap too but why not after all. Once we accept that we can enjoy the story.
And what a cliffanger.
Cover - I like it and it's in link. 2/2
Writing - Thompson construct a very smart space buble and I'm very inte more
Carnero, thank you for making the best looking Carol Danvers. She looks like a dream, acts with a strength and her grace is awesome. The villain is and could be a representation of how women were seen at those days, maybe even now. The story is getting a lot amazing. And put in my two all-time favourite women of Marvel, Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), this might be my most favourite comic issue I've read so far this week.
Captain Marvel gets thoroughly stuck into Fury Road: Roosevelt Island Misogynist Edition. The setting's not the most novel thing, either conceptually or visually, but the character interactions inside it are golden. Carol is portrayed as a leader in ways both overt and subtle. The character art is great, too.
It's good but a drop since the first. Thompson isn't building this world as the mystery she wants it to be. Things are happening and it's not gelling well. Carnero is awesome in the still frames with great colors from Bonvillain. But when it comes to the fight scenes, Carnero needs to work to improve the perspective of what we're seeing in order to follow the story better.
Not as good as the first issue. Things just take a hard left turn, as the issue focuses on another dystopia. Most of the character work present in the first issue that I loved so much is gone here, unfortunately.
Great artwork but this issue fell flat compared to last week's issue. Was quite boring with the story and the cliffhanger didn't do much for me.
Mediocre art and a letdown from the fine first issue. It’s a little like a Sunday morning cartoon.
I’m not really super invested in the whole post-apocalypse scenario but I think it’s well written enough, I was never annoyed while reading it.
I did not enjoy this one at all. I am dropping this series after 2 issues.
