With Carol and Binary two separate entities, its getting messier for Carol, and its not like shes had the mostcopacetic life for a superhero. Kelly continues to deliver one of the best runs Carols had over the last 10 years, and shes joined by two amazing artists that have just elevated the quality on this arc. Its definitely a series that should be on everyones radar. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #29 moves the arc forward with equal servings of witty conversation and high-octane action. The story is solid, and the skill used to relate it, in words and art, is virtually flawless. This is not a comic built to stand by itself; a lot depends on the upcoming landing. But everything between the covers serves to build on prior engagement and encourage readers to lean in even closer; this creative team is all-in on the idea of making the journey at least as enjoyable as the destination.

Captain Marvel #29 is another solid issue in Kelly Thompson's Carol run. Read Full Review
I'm a fan of Jacopo Camagni's artwork, in particular, when he gets to have some fun by creating an ancient Atlantean colosseum of wonders, magical mermen travel guides, and giant sea dragon keepers of the Heart of the Serpent. All in all, Captain Marvel #29 hits all the right notes and moves the plot of this arc forward in a good way. Read Full Review

All of the intrigue and action is balanced with just the right amount of heartbreak and self-reflection, and this Captain Marvel adventure seems to be only getting better from here. Read Full Review
Carol manages not to reveal the Enchantress's timey-wimey connection to her current quest, but Amora sends her on a quid-pro-quo treasure hunt that has some fairly challenging consequences. It's a fast and rather simple plot, but the art, dialogue, and inner monologue are all impeccable. It's damned funny, but Carol also does some heavy-duty soul-searching, too.
Not quite as strong as the previous issue for me at least, but still it's a totally solid issue in a generally totally solid run.
The issue pretty much just goes further with what the previous one did and overall everything was pretty much expected. Still the way Thompson writes the characters carries the issue. She gets them and how they act, but also adds her more comedic-oriented flavor, which is a pretty good combo in my mind, making this issue fun to read.
I'm really beginning to enjoy this arc into Kelly Thompson's time with Captain Marvel. She's addressing a modern issue that has been plaguing Carol Danvers for a long time. Carol believes she needs to be more powerful than she needs to be to prevent catastrophe, like the only good thing about her is her strength and power. So when she pulls a double standard to learn magic, she could very well have set off the events of that apocalyptic future she visited. By all accounts, I had more fun with the references Carol makes in her inner monologues; heck it's why I like Superman worrying about mundane things more than the fate of the world. Which is why this issue might be building up to Carol confronting her insecurities.
This is a good, solid issue. Nothing that will blow you away or make you like Captain Marvel, if you are intent on hating her because Brie Larsen said things that your gut feelings didn't like. I don't much to say, so I'm just taking jabs. It's a fun issue. What do you want?
