VACATION, ALL I NEVER WANTED!
Carol and Rhodey have rekindled their relationship (and their vacation plans!) just in time to get a distress call from Carol's half sister - Lauri-ell, the Kree Accuser - that sends the couple on a detour into space, where they find themselves in need of far more than swimsuits. There is a gathering darkness in the galaxy...and it has Captain Marvel's name all over it. Don't miss the kickoff to another exhilarating fight fest for the Multiverse's baddest boss of space!
Rated T+
Miyazawa delivers some great art throughout the issue. The visuals are great and they beautifully capture the tone and mood of the story. A great looking issue from start to finish. Read Full Review
This was a fun, relatively low-stakes mission. Well, sort of low-stakes. The Sludge was no match for the combined power of Captain Marvel, War Machine, and Lauri-Ell. Far easier than most villains theyve faced. But in the superhero world, as in the real world, when things seem too good to be true, they usually are. Its not actually low-stakes, the Sludge is no longer an active threat, but it also wasnt the entire threat. Poor Carol, shes going to find out that she cant catch a break. As far as in-between arc stories go, Captain Marvel #31 was a great one; It got me hyped up The Last of the Marvels without feeling like this story was filler. Read Full Review
Now, while the issue does stand out for its comedic timing and superhero battle, it does also thankfully set the foundation for the series' next big storyline, so don't worry, because there is some substance with all of the fun. Read Full Review
So, taken all together, Captain Marvel #31 serves as a fun one-stop adventure. It brings laughs, great character interplay, and a touch of adventure for Carol and company. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel#31 isn't the high-paced action/adventure this series is used to, but it works in this issue's favor. Thompson's writing is sharp as ever and Takeshi Miyazawa's pencils get the job done. Read Full Review
Despite the art snafu's, this book is highly readable, which kind of proves my view that you read a well written book with art you may not enjoy, but not the other way around. You would have to go someway to have art that would detract from Thompson's excellent ideas, plots and dialogue. Captain Marvel is one of the most consistently good books from Marvel Comics, full of energy, humour as Thompson successfully manages to create genuine threats for one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.

Carol and Rhodey, back in love, try to take a vacation. Instead, Lauri-Ell gets them fighting sewer monsters on Throneworld II. It's a self-contained adventure that makes a great breather episode, but it also lays out a wickedly sharp sequel hook. It's beautifully drawn, and it's full to bursting with (what I subjectively consider) brilliant humor -- Lauri-Ell continues to be comedy platinum. It's light-hearted and sassy and a little bit silly … and you know what? That is EXACTLY how I like my Captain Marvel.
I really enjoy these one in done issues. Kelly Thompson is excellent at writing fun characters and that is what we get here.
A very good episodic turn that feels like a reward for all of the stuff from last arc. Enough to just love living in the moment with some wits. Even if it does technically begin a new arc with something ready to challenge Carol again.
