Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster, More Review

Finished reading Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster, More, this begins writer Kelly Sue DeConnick's second Captain Marvel series which puts Carol on an adventure into space. The book opens up with Carol and a small group of aliens on the other side of the galaxy where they are being followed which leads to a fight breaking out. The book then flashbacks to six weeks prior with Captain Marvel and Iron Patriot stumbling across an alien who has found their way to Earth. After Iron Man meats with Carol he suggests that Rhodey should go into space and be the one who takes the young alien home Carol then convinces Rhodey that she should be the one to go space. Once on her travels Carol meets with the Guardians of the Galaxy who help her deal with some space pirates named the Haffensye. Once on board Captain Marvel's ship Rocket accidentally awakens the young alien named Tic who has a strong hatred to Star Lord as he's the son of J'son the leader of the Spartax who is trying to force inhabitants of Tic's new home world off the planet which they inhabited in the aftermath of their original planet being destroyed by the Builders during the events of Infinity. Once on the planet Torfa Captain Marvel meets with the planet's leader Madame Eleanides who asks for Carols help as many of the planet's occupants have fallen sick to a unknown illness which they have no idea of how to cure. Overall this was a great book as it keeps the same heart and tone of its predecessor which is great. The inclusion of the Guardians of the Galaxy is great as it brings some great comedic moments expressly with Rocket as he starts freaking out around Carol's cat Chewe, believing it to be a dangerous alien as well as Tic's interaction with Star Lord helps to further on the plot. While the fight scenes are amazing as they a choreographed well and have Captain Marvel showcasing some of her battle skills. 8/10.
