Rated T+

Captain Marvel #4 explores Carol's relationship with Rogue in a truly remarkable way, helping to tell a story that is both action-packed and incredibly heartfelt. Fans, you won't want to miss this one. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #4 energizes the ongoing story by focusing on conflict. Both the writing and the art leap boldly into combat. The headliner fight between Carol and Rogue is unmissable on its own, but the attention paid to Mahkizmo and the Rebellion is rewarding, too. Although one of its strongest accomplishments is ratcheting up anticipation for the climax in #5, this issue is formidable and fully satisfying by itself. Read Full Review
Kelly Thompson has demonstrating a strong understanding of both Carol Danvers' character as well as Rogue's, so it should be no surprise that their confrontation within this issue only exemplifies that further. Read Full Review
Though Nuclear Man is still the series' weakest point, CAPTAIN MARVEL #4 beautifully depicts Rogue and Captain Marvel's conflict in a raw, intense manner that elevates the issue and overarching run. Read Full Review
It looks like Carols time on Roosevelt Island is coming to an end, but any victory she has will probably be tainted by the memories of facing off with Rogue once again. Read Full Review
The arena battle and comic as a whole is better thanks to the contributions of Carmen Carnero. The artist does a solid job on the artwork throughout this comic, drawing epic fight scenes and an intriguing post-apocalyptic world and resistance. It all has me very interested to see what comes next in this comic. Read Full Review
Truly, I've been waiting for this kind of showing from the team. It has all come together here in Issue #4 and I'm looking eagerly forward to how Carol gets out of this one with Rogue and the others. Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #4 is a major let down. That all falls on the failed development of Nuclear Man. At no point does Kelly Thompson make the character a compelling villain. Instead everything the character said and does comes across as incredibly forced. Which is highly unfortunate since Thompson has shown that she knows how to write a fun Captain Marvel. Hopefully this story arc ends in the next issue and this series can move on to much better adventures. Read Full Review
This series was is better than I expected
I was really into this one. I really like the relationship between Rogue and Carol. This issue felt a lot more consistent than the previous two.
Thompson's story is good with some usual tropes and a few surprises too. But holly smokes do Carnero and Bonvillain make it look amazing!
Carol finds a scary but effective way to win through the grudge match against Rogue that Mahkizmo has orchestrated. Things build rapidly toward a mother of a climax in the next issue; this one looks spectacular and does superb character work while rapidly progressing the plot. I get the sense that this issue is a fair pick for the title's status quo, and it's a formidable standard of storytelling for the creators to maintain.
Pretty interesting but I want the postapocalypse to be over.
