Weird Science - Jim Werner
May 29, 2017The last third of this title was mainly a rehash of the start of Secret Empire, and this was a set-up episode for the next wave in this series to move forward. It did however shunt things on considerably from the "abduction of Kree children story" so I for one welcome the shift, and am once again hopeful for the future of this title. Read Full Review

May 25, 2017The book's Secret Empire tie-in will offer plenty of opportunity to turn things around, but it's still on Stohl and Rosanas to make good on their obvious talent. Read Full Review

OMG!!!! It's not pure crud like the last story arc. The story had a point!! A major victory for Stohl. It was a great first issue I just wished it had the same emotional impact as Secret Empire #0 did when you read that scene between Cap. Marvel and Cap. America. But damn it I'm just happy this story actually was ok!!! Keep it up!

Carol enlists three cadets just in time to get swept up in the Secret Empire mess. The good news about adding teen characters is that it plays hard to Margaret Stohl's writing strengths. The Alpha Cadets form a terrific emotional core that should make this new arc a lot more relatable and interesting than the last one. Bad news? Ms. Stohl's still not so hot at writing Carol Danvers or snappy one-liners. Michele Bandini's art is generally pretty good, although the Chitauri attack taxes his crowd-drawing skills. This issue had two colorists and they couldn't even agree on which parts of Cap'n M's uniform are what colors; it's a problem that marginally competent editorial oversight could/should have fixed. It's another point in favor of my the more
