Finished reading Captain Marvel: Stay Fly, this continues writer Kelly Sue DeConnick's second Captain Marvel series as Carol deals with the revelation of her cat, Chewie being an alien while also trying to deal with the feeling of being homesick. The book opens with Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel waking up from a bad dream as she and her new friend Tic head back to robdeview with Rocket Racoon who has been keeping an eye on Carol only to find out the he locked her cat up. Things then take a turn for the worst when a large ship starts attacking them as Rocket tries to sell Chewie because he believed that she was a Flerken which turns out to be true when Chewie lays countless amount of eggs. The rest of the book has Carol and Tic coming into contact with the mutant teleporter and rockstar Lila Cheney who asks for their help is preventing and arranged marriage that she got herself into. After dealing with her problems Lila gives Carol a letter from all her friends which prompts Carol to go back home with Lila for one day to see her friend Tracy who is currently in hospital. Overall this was a great book as writer Kelly Sue DeConnick continues the series with a light and fun tone which brings some great laughs while also being able to deliver some amazing character development in the process. The comedy within in the book is laugh out loud funny throughout from Rocket getting the group in trouble after trying to sell Carol's cat Chewie to how Carol's friends back on Earth are doing without her. While the final story with Carol spending a day during Christmas time in New York is great as it takes a step back from the whole space adventure that Carol has been on to tell a more personal story between Carol and her friend Tracy while still having room for a fun superhero fight scene. The artwork is great as artists Marcio Takara and David Lopez do an amazing job at conveying each character's emotions extremely well. While Marcio Takara's alien designs are great as they feel very out of this world which works perfectly with the slightly darker tone of the story. 8/10.
