The Life of Captain Marvel #2 is an excellent deep dive into the life and history of Carol Danvers. We get to see our hero struggle further with her life as an impending threat approaches. The art team contributes great work, and the comic earns another strong recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review

This is a pretty deep issue in terms of tone and story. Stohl continues to dive deeper into Carol Danvers' emotional life and how her past shapes her today. Read Full Review

Writing for comics can be a learning curve, so it's rewarding to see the results of a creator coming to grips with it. Read Full Review

Marvel is finally giving Carol Danvers what she needs: an uninterrupted story and a great art team. Marvel appears committed to fulfilling writer Margaret Stohl's mission of redefining the character. The storytelling is traveling at a slower pace but in that pacing Stohl is showcasing real character development. Carlos Pacheco is nailing it in the art department despite the lack of super heroics and action. Read Full Review

Its safe, slow plot keeps this issue from being as great as its presentation suggests it should be. The Life of Captain Marvel #2 takes very pretty steps with poise and grace. They are small steps and there aren't a lot of them, though. This is clearly one chapter in a larger story, but it feels like an early frontrunner for this title's "least memorable issue" award.

Margaret Stohl did a great job showing how Carol Danvers relationship with her family is much more complicated than she even knew throughout The Life of Captain Marvel #2. The weight added to what she learned created more interest in how Carol will interact with her family moving forward. Unfortunately the quality of The Life of Captain Marvel #2 was brought down by the Kree sub-plot that felt forced in to create a predictable superhero story. Hopefully this portion of the story is developed better as it could make or break The Life of Captain Marvel's success. Read Full Review

This issue isn't as strong as the first one, but it still has some pivotal moments. Read Full Review

I kind of hate Carol Danvers, mostly because the most I know of her has to do with her side in the whole "preventing future crimes" thing. She was a bitch in A-Force and everywhere else.

But I'm reading this just to see what's going on, and it isn't bad. Looks to me like they are trying to humanize her before the movie comes out.

well enough I suppose. I'll read another.

THE GOOD:

-I think the characterization of Carol Danvers and her overall character is the best part of the issue. She is portrayed as a brave, strong woman, but they allow room for weakness and show she is not untouchable.

-The emotional moments of the issue really worked for me. They were powerful and truly sad.

-I still appreciate this issue isn't trying to be a typical, "let's cram this story arc with as much end of the world scenarios as we can, because bigger's always better, right?" story. It's down to earth moments are its strongest and most resonant.

-I liked the art. I liked the portrayals of all the characters and it provided a well-done compliment to the script.

THE BAD:

-The mysterious villain's story isn't doing it. It distracts form the main story, has no purpose, and just doesn't really stand out to me. Kind of a cliched, watching the villain prepare to meet the hero style scene to me.

-The end was too abrupt, just kind of ran out of pages, not really providing an interest cliffhanger or proper end. more

I didn't like the first part. I wanted to give it another chance. But no, that's not for me.
The woman vilain make me think to much to Terminator.

Cover - 1/2
Writing - 1.5/2
Arts - Nice & funny 3/3
Feeling 0/2

Feels like watching a superhero show for middleaged housewives.

Captain marvel is a pure virtue signal character and this issue proves it
