Can she save the day even while the world turns on her? Does she want to?
Rated T+
Captain Marvel is at her best when her back is against the wall, and writer Kelly Thompson seems to know that. It's in these moments that fans get a glimpse of the person underneath all that power, showing just how human and relatable Carol is, and reminding us why we fell in love with the character all those years ago.

Captain Marvel #8 is a start to a new story arc and it already has me hooked. As the creative team once again exerts their formidable talents in telling a story that is both fantastic, and grounded in reality. I look forward to seeing where this newest tale will lead, knowing that, wherever it goes, it's going to be higher, further, faster than ever before. Read Full Review

Carmen Carneros art is amazing. The characters look great. The action is fantastic. There is a sequence between Spider-Woman and Carol that is thrilling from panel to panel. A great, vibrant looking issue. Read Full Review
'Captain Marvel #8' is a heartfelt story featuring the first appearance of Star, a new hero that opens an unexpected path forward for Carol. Will it be worthwhile? Only time will tell... Read Full Review
Captain Marvel #8 was an intense but interesting read. The intensity makes sense, given that it's following War of the Realms and a strong sense of foreshadowing. It was a strong lead to a new plot"one that'll be interesting to see where it ends up. Read Full Review
It's time for a new Chapter for Captain Marvel and this one is starting off with a bang! No literally, between the World finding out about Carol's Kree bloodline, the appearance of a new Hero AND something internally wrong with Carol she has a lot of mess to clean up. Read Full Review
I'm glad we're back with a new plot for Carol. Thompson can show off her creativity and ability to deliver the laughs, the punches, and the hugs in equal measure. This team is only going to get stronger as they dive into what makes Carol tick and build her relationships around her. Read Full Review
WELL HELLO.
Really great issue.
Best in what has been a disappointing series to date especially the War of the realms tie in that was completely forgettable
The press, public, and Air Force all turn against Carol over her Kree heritage, but she's got friends she can lean on. This is a stage-setting issue in terms of plot development, but it's built on granite bedrock of great characterization. The Carol/Jess Drew wo-mance is on full display, supported by consistently excellent dialogue and expressive facial art.
Much better than the previews isssues.
Some nice moments.
It's good and I really tried to but I just can't care enough to keep reading. Since Marvel publishes too many books and I'm already spending too much, I gotta drop something if I'm gonna add something else. Sorry Kelly and Carmen!
Very promising begining to a new arc after a poor opening to series, a new arrival and the truth of her kree heritage has Carol questioning her place in a world she no longer feels part of one to watch over next few issues
