Ms. Marvel has been a bit dodgy since Karla Sofen's arrival, but this is the best issue since her arrival in issue #38, and there's really no reason for casual fans not to check this one out. Read Full Review
It's always nice to see a series gain and maintain positive momentum heading into a major arc. Bring on the War of the Marvels! Read Full Review
Overall, this issue for the most part is very well written and perfectly sets up the coming "War of the Marvels." However, the artwork is really what hinders this issue. I really miss Aaron Lopresti, Roberto De La Torre and Luke Ross on this title. I do like Takeda's artwork, so I am indeed looking forward to the "War of the Marvels." Read Full Review
This issue brings yet another new penciller for the arc, as Sergio Arino takes over from Sana Takeda, the originally solicited artist for this issue. There are good and bad scenes -- the anatomy seems inconsistent at times, but the final page showing the return of Carol is a great image that showcases Arino's promise. The cliffhanger kicks off the "War of the Marvels" story, so it looks like Moonstone's involvement in the title might be winding down soon -- though if "Dark Avengers'" plans allow it, it's clear that she could make for an entertaining foil for Carol in the future, and hopefully Reed will exploit that.
