Superstar writer Kelly Thompson joins forces with BLACK KNIGHT: CURSE OF THE EBONY BLADE artist Sergio Dávila to kick off a thrilling fight to save the Captain Marvel legacy!
Rated T+
It looks to be Kelly Thompsons biggest arc yet with the good Captain, and shes off to a good start. Theres plenty of action and character work in the issue, which is something that you can always expect in a KT book. Its just the beginning, but I cant wait to see all of the Marvels together, (including Genis!!!!!) as its something I cant remember if its ever happened in the decades weve had more than just Mar-Vell and Monica.

Davila delivers some impressive action and tension in the visuals. The characters look awesome and the action hits on all levels. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #32 launches its protagonist into another desperate struggle with a ticking clock. This initial chapter goes heavy on the action, and it does not disappoint. But the creators have an intriguing "whodunnit" queued up right behind all the fighting, and thanks to superlative skill throughout the creative team, this comic has an excellent chance of sinking its hooks deep into readers.

When all is said and done, Captain Marvel #32 opens this new story arc with an emotional bang. The questions it leaves unanswered have me eager for the next issue. Whatever comes next looks to be Marvelous. Read Full Review
This arc seems like an interesting opportunity for more interactions between the Marvel-family characters, all while honoring the history of the mantle. Read Full Review
The first part of "The Last of the Marvels" wastes no time in shifting into full gear, and while it's an action-heavy issue, Carol's own internal conflicts are easily the most compelling elements of the issue. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel has been one of more consistent books from Marvel; all credit for this has to go to Kelly Thompson who always seems to be on her A game with this character. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #32 was good start to The Last Of The Marvels storyline. Kelly Thompson and Sergio Davila delivered an energetic start as Vox Supreme was brought back into play. How Carol Danvers responded to who attacked her pushed the story forward and had you highly anticipating what comes next. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #32 is not an issue you can skip if you want to understand the story going forward. And it does have strong points, such as beautiful art and exciting fight scenes, though theyre weighed down by the writing for the majority of the issue. The script isnt awful, but its far from what weve seen Thompson do with Captain Marvel before. While the story ends on a cliffhanger that sells the hype for the Last of the Marvels arc, the rest of the book falls short of being enjoyable. Read Full Review
This is the polar opposite of the previous issue, but it's just as great, in a different way. #31 was fluffy sassy funny; #32 is deadly serious. Carol's attacked by a mystery figure wearing her EEEE-VIL suit from the "Last Avenger" arc. She makes the reasonable assumption that Vox Supreme is back, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's a red herring. This is written and drawn right at the border between "good" and "great." The plot is also on that border; the scenes go on so long that it doesn't get past the 2nd plot point. But the way Carol reacts nudges the issue over into greatness for me. It's an alchemical synthesis of plot and character development; I care about this problem because of the way Carol cares about it.

This is a really well done issue. The pacing is tight, and there's no fluff. Also, man, I like politics. It's like a sick, self-hating fetish for me. And yet, I don't bring them up in my reviews as often as Merlyn does in his. This issue is mostly a fight scene. Nothing political is ever mentioned. However, what's important to him is making sure we all know that in spite of him generally enjoying this issue, Marvel is still bad for giving female characters a chance, and also Kelly Thompson does hate men sometimes. Sounds like perfectly valid complaints, and not the odd ramblings of an insecure sexist to me!
Marvel baited me with the comeback of the true Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, so I'm in for this. Though I expect to be highly disappointed since they've tried for years to prop up Carol Danvers and surely they won't give up on that given their social stances. This was decent, Kelly Thompson is a decent writer (and the best female writer, probably the only good one right now) when she's not man-hating. I would've rated it higher, were it not for the ugly art.
