Finished reading Captain Marvel: Alis Volat Propriis, this concludes writer Kelly Sue DeConnick's second Captain Marvel series as Carol Danvers adventures in space come to an end as she finally heads back to Earth. The book opens with Carol being teleported back on her ship after spending a day on Earth with mutant teleporter Lila Cheney only to find out that her ship has been raided by pirates who were after Carol's alien cat Chewie in how to use Chewie as a weapon while Tic is used as slave labour to keep the pirates shop running as Tic stays optimistic that Carol is on her way to save everyone. The next story is a part to Marvel's Black Vortex as Captain Marvel finds herself in possession of the Black Vortex artefact as she try's to keep it out of the hands of Mr Knife and Thanos' son Thane. The final story has Carol and Chewie returning to Earth only to find out that Carol's friend Tracy was unable to see her again as she had passed away a week prior however she was able to write a letter to Carol as a precaution. Overall this was a great book as it brings an end to the series in spectacular fashion as the book wraps up the stories of the supporting cast that have been prominent throughout the series from Tic getting her own ship and using it to find people in need along with the ending of Carol's friend Tracy's story that brings a tremendous amount of emotion that gives the series an amazing ending. There is some great comedic moments throughout the book the makes tension filled and sad moments help to keep the series lighter tone as the comedy doesn't feel forced as it comes incredibly natural to the story's. The artwork is amazing as artist David Lopez designs some amazing space battles and is also able to convey some great emotion within every page of the final story. While the addition of Lee Loughridge's colours helps to elevate the art work and helps the tone of the book with the brighter colour palette. What lets the book down is the fact that the Black Vortex story does not actually end in this book even though the beginning of it does a great job in catching the reader up with the event so far. 8.5/10.
