When all is said and done Captain Marvel #26 delivers an excellent wrap-up to its storyline. With action, character, and heart all in abundance, it is everything I have come to expect from his title. Here's to whatever comes next! Read Full Review

In many ways, I am sad that Captain Marvel #26 brings a wrap to this plot arc. Still, it's impossible not to be extremely curious about where things will go from here. As the saying goes, when one door closes, another one opens. Read Full Review

Garbett delivers some fantastic visuals in this issue. The action and progression of the pages perfectly match the mood and tone of the story. Read Full Review

Captain Marvel#26 is a mostly-satisfying conclusion to a fantastic arc. Garbett's pencils get the job done and Thompson's writing knocks it out of the park -- it'll be interesting to see where the title goes from here. Read Full Review

"The New World" definitely made a big impression, and while I'm sad to leave, it was more than worth the price of admission. Read Full Review

Carol fights like she always fights, yet sacrifices her own happiness with hopes for the future. Read Full Review

There were a lot of threads to tie up at the end of this arc, and maybe there were too many. Because the emotional moments in Captain Marvel #26 felt rushed, and there wasnt time for them to truly sink in. The story felt unbalanced. It wasnt a bad story; it was just underwhelming. Garbetts art and Fabelas colors made Captain Marvel #26 a visually satisfying ending, at least. But without a solid story to back it up, the issue just feels okay overall.   Read Full Review

Captain Marvel #26 was at its best when it focused on the Carol Danvers aspect of the story. The way visiting a possible future for herself and her friends impacted Carol was well handled by Kelly Thompson. Which makes the underwhelming way that the main villain of this story was dealt with such a massive disappointment. At the end of the day Ove was a forgettable villain even though a lot of time was spent trying to develop him as a credible threat. That disappointment brings down what was otherwise a well-written character focused conclusion. Read Full Review

This was good, but that ending felt really contrived.

Cap'n Marvel saves Generic Post-Apocalyptic Land from Ove by letting him go back in time like he wants. I get that it's intentionally frustrating, and Carol is as unsatisfied with it as I am. Still stings. The art's a little fast, a little short on detail, but I do like the new Binary design. And perversely, I like the final-scene surprise. It's a last-ditch attempt to add some weight and consequence to these future AU shenanigans. It might be contentious, but I admire its ingenuity.

This is why I say nothing good comes of the future!

Writers should be forbidden of using alternate apocalyptic future storylines. So it’s just another mediocre Alternate Future saga and the ending of the issue is ridiculous.

Brigid’s transformation into Thor gave Carol the upper hand needed to turn the tide of battle against Ove and Enchantress. However, Enchantress learns the truth of Magik’s teleportation spell and sacrifices her own life in order to successfully transport her son into the past. Life in the future slowly returns to a sense of normality but Carol’s peace is shattered when Jessica sacrifices her own life to return Carol to her proper place in the timeline. Upon her return home, Carol deduces Ove to have been responsible for her escapade in the first place.

I don’t really care about Ove, so I hope when Namor meets him he just instantly kills him. That is something Namor would totally do. But I guess that would kinda make this whole arc meaningless and that’s no fun. I’m sure sooner than later we’ll see Ove pop up in the prime timeline.
