Captain Marvel: Civil War II Review

Finished reading Captain Marvel: Civil War II, with the events of Civil War II affecting the wider Marvel universe as writers Ruth Fletcher Gage and Christos Gage continues Carol's story within her own book as she along with Alpha Flight find themselves working with the Inhuman Ulysses and his ability to predict the future. The book opens with Captain Marvel doing repairs on the Alpha Flight space station before discovering that the station has set up a surprise part for Carol to celebrate her first year as the commander of the station. Later Carol is meeting with Alpha Flight's board of governors to discuss about the the appearance of the Celestial at the beginning of Civil War II before getting news of Kree scientist Dr Minerva is on Earth. The book then continues with Captain Marvel have many successful missions as some ramifications of the use of Ulysses predictive powers as sons of the heroes began to question the results of with Hawkeye's choice of shooting Bruce Banner during the events of Civil War II being a main part of the book. The rest of the book sees tensions beginning to build between Carol and her Alpha Flight teammates when Carol discovers a leak from the space station which turns out to be someone in a high position within the Alpha Flight space station. Overall this was a decent book as it brings a different angle to Marvel's Civil War II event as Captain Marvel along with her Alpha Flight team are being watched by their peers within Alpha Filght's board of governors and the way the Ulysses predictions becomes more integral in the story uses' of profiling and surveillance which makes for some interesting character interactions. The book art throughout is great as it brings some great character moment along with some amazing action scenes that are designed and drawn with the great style the art has. 6.5/10.
