The Mighty Captain Marvel: Alien Nation Review



Finished reading The Mighty Captain Marvel: Alien Nation, starting a new series for Captain Marvel as writer Margaret Stohl sends Carol Danvers in the middle of an alien refugee crisis. The book opens with Carol in therapy due to having trouble sleeping since the events of Civil War II after cutting the session short Carol to check on her team in the Alpha Flight Space Station before reminiscing her past when she gets a box of personal items delivered before having to suit up an help a ship of refugees having trouble slowing down. The book then continues with Carol and Jessica Drew going to the set of the Cap'n Marvel tv show that is being use to help fund Alpha Flight. After leaving the set Carol gets a call about an attack on an alien refugee camp where a Kree child is being kidnapped before Carol intervenes and takes the kid to Alpha Flight where the team start to bond with the kid while trying to stop the bounty hunter who's after her and also dealing with the fact that Carol starts to lose control of her powers. Overall this was a great book as sees how Carol is dealing with the world in a post Civil War II landscape by focusing on how it is affecting her more personally as the inclusion of Spider-Woman and the A.I. Tony Stark helps to bring some great interactions for how each character is reacting to what just happened within Marvel's Civil War II event and what's happening within the story of the book. The book has some great comedic moments within it that helps to further develop the relationships each character has with one another while also showing how each character reacts to some situations. The art throughout the book is great as each art team does a great job in bringing each character interaction to life extremely well while also giving each action scenes a great feel of the action. 8/10.
