Chewie's comics debut predates the Captain Marvel movie by 13 years.
JUDGMENT DAY MUST COME FOR US ALL - AN A.X.E. TIE-IN! Though Carol has had more than enough of being judged lately, there's no escaping THIS Judgment Day as it determines whether Earth lives or dies. But as Carol and Lauri-Ell give their heroic best to prove their worth an...unexpected new player emerges.
Rated T+
I am not a huge fan of the A.X.E event, having read a couple of issues from the main arc (don't get me started about the resurrection of Steve Rogers) and a number of tie-in books. This issue is on par with the Amazing Spider-Man issue, though without the pathos that goes hand-in-hand with Peter Parker. Instead, Thompson manages to keep Carol on her toes through the continued us of her supporting cast, be they sister, friend or even cat / Flerkin. Read Full Review
Thompson continues to show why shes become one of the most prolific, and popular female writers currently doing work for the big two. Using her patented humor, she continues to write one of the most fun takes on Captain Marvel since the Peter David run featuring Genis and Rick Jones. Two thumbs way up. Read Full Review
Di Vito delivers some beautifully detailed art that does a wonderful job of showcasing the characters in the story and I loved everything that Chewie does in the story visually. Read Full Review
The Armageddon Game is becoming a game changing event for the franchise and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #133 captures that fact on at a street-level. By focusing on Donatello, Jenika, and Venus both Sophie Campbell and Fero Pe were able to get across how overwhelming the things the Turtles and their allies are dealing with during The Armageddon Game.

Captain Marvel #42 definitely feels like a tie-in to A.X.E., but it has some fun with the larger premise and keeps the focus on the delightful series cast. Read Full Review
Kelly Thompson spins absolute gold out of the straw of a one-off event tie-in. (Admittedly, it helps that Judgment Day is a REALLY GOOD event.) The script is boosted into the stratosphere by some superb art. That is a hell of a good-looking cat, but the people and settings are terrific, too. A dash of genuinely significant character growth for Lauri-Ell is the cherry on top.
It's nice and cute but really feels like a filler
The problem with this issue for me is the AXE attachment. I do not like AXE, so there was a huge chance I wasn't going to like this issue. I probably shouldn't have gotten it, but I didn't want to break my run. It was really all about the cat from the movie. Hopefully, it will be a new arc in the next issue.
