Rated T+
As far as current Marvel titles go,Captain Marvelis consistently one of the best. Thompson's writing is quick-witted, funny, and emotional, and Garbett's pencils get the job done with an extra bang. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #24 is a thrilling read, with more than one mic-drop worth talking about among fans. The ending alone is enough to have me counting down the days until the next issue, all while thinking about the revelations that have already occurred. Read Full Review
Garbett and Ortega bring some great visuals to this issue. The contrast is styles is well executed and both parts of the story meld together seamlessly. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
One of the biggest highlights of this arc though continues to be the team of heroes Thompson's assembled, and after meeting all these wonderful characters it's going to be hard to eventually say goodbye, and fingers crossed we don't have to completely when all is said and done. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, this issue furthers its narrative is a well handled, and thoroughly enjoyable way. With the situation heating up at the end of Captain Marvel #24I look forward to seeing what reveals await Carol and company when the next issue drops. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed the late issue unveilings and cant wait to check back in next month to see how this all shakes out. I hope Kelly Thompson enjoys a really lengthy run on this book because there has nary been a bad issue and Captain Marvel #24 is no different! Read Full Review
This was an OK issue. Carol and her team did too many stupid things just to progress the plot in my opinion. I thought the Flashback art by Ortega looked better than Garbett's for some reason and I love Garbett's art normally. He just doesn't seem to be hitting on all cylinders for me on this arc, not like he was on the Last Avenger arc. It might be because everything feels like we are just walking around in an apocalyptic hell. This issues story was just too predictable it was frustrating. I was yelling at the page like some cheesy 80's horror movie, “NO DON”T GO IN THERE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Read Full Review
Cptain Marvel #24 did what it needed to do tell the story of Ove and why he is the antagonist of this story. There are some spots in the way this issue progressed that may come across as boring. But with how things ended the remaining issues of this arc are set-up to conclude the story strong. Read Full Review
Overall, Captain Marvel #24 is intriguing because of the possibilities it sets up for the next issue, rather than what occurs in the chapter itself. Read Full Review
Ove makes his pitch for his paradise and creeps on Carol while telling his backstory. The heroes march into the belly of the beast and, inevitably, get beaten. It's nicely drawn and written with wit, but at bottom it's a very familiar story: Heroes walk into a trap expecting a trap but still get clobbered/captured because a dramatic reversal is obligatory at the end of act 2.
This was pretty good, but there was a ton of exposition, and the comic was a bit wordy in general.
I hate the future.

Ove shares that all they’ve achieved are due to the volunteered services of others; Armor provides the protective dome, Jolt provides unlimited energy and the supreme weather is courtesy of Crystal of the Inhumans. A recon of Ove’s compound reveals those more
Not a fan of this arc. I get Kelly Thompson wants to expand on the world she created with Captain Marvel: End, however another alternate world story arc in a run is too much. The sooner this is over the better
