Overall, Captain Marvel #37 is narratively and visually enjoyable, with Binarys introduction adding a fun, new dynamic to the cast. With the successful introduction and subsequent inclusion of Lauri-Ell, Thompson has proved that she can seamlessly integrate new characters into the existing story. And Im certain Binary will be the same.  Read Full Review

Captain Marvel has one of the richest and most endearing supporting casts around and nowhere is that more evident than in Captain Marvel #37. Read Full Review

Ohta delivers some great art in the issue. The lighter tone of the story and the character moments really come through in the art. Read Full Review

The creature (and the mysterious Abra Kadabra-type villain who controls it) pop up a few times during the course of this issue, but the main focus of the book is Binary, as Carol and Spectrum try to acclimate her to humanity.  Binary, like great fictional characters of the past including the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz and Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, has intelligence and strength, but has zero understanding of humans and what its like to be human.I enjoyed seeing Binary fumbling her way through human issues, as Carol tries desperately to teach her about things as Spectrum gets a kick out of it all.  Its a better than average Stranger in a Strange Land type journey, with a few guest-star characters popping up along the way.  This was the most enjoyable part of the book, and I hope Binary stays around a while, so we can see her evolve over time, and hopefully become human herself?

Carol and Monica teach Binary lessons about life and love, guest-starring Captain Marvel's best friends and a little heartbreak, ending with a literal bang. Good stuff. Read Full Review

Captain Marvel #37 is overall a fun issue with great art, paving the way for what should be an interesting next issue. Read Full Review

It's cheeky, it's snarky, it's montage-y, it rehashes a lot of content this volume has already covered. (And ugh, snats. Can we all agree that inventing antagonists is Kelly Thompson's Achilles' Heel?)

Yet even though this issue takes Binary along exactly the same path Lauri-Ell went down earlier, there's impeccable heart in the way she's characterized.

It helps that the art is generally good and genuinely excellent when it comes to facial expressions.

This was a very fun issue. Binary reminds me a ton of Singularity, and I wonder if this is just how Kelly Thompson writes these characters, or if there's more to it. Nonetheless, this is yet another really enjoyable issue of this overall enjoyable run.
