The majority of this issue is an aerial battle between Captain Marvel – riding her flying motorcycle snowmobile thingy – and Deathbird. Carol is being shoved to the brink and we are seeing the repercussions of that big time here. The villain behind the scenes is pushing her buttons and Carol is a character that is easily sent over the edge. She has what some might call a bit of a temper. This ain't the best issue of this fantastic series, but it's still lots of fun and nice to look at. You can't fault a comic for that.
Since joining the team, Filipe Andrade has brought a beautiful and kinetic energy to the book. This issue is probably the least dynamic of his stuff so far, which is a shame since it features tons of action. He seems more reserved here, holding more traditional angles and poses. Backgrounds disappear often as well. This is not to say the issue looks bad, but it's a noticeable dip in quality.
The story itself starts bringing things full circle, connecting people and places we saw back in the first arc to the current madness. It's good stuff, and a pretty clear indication that Kelly Sue DeConnick and Christopher Sebela make an excellent team. The dialogue is snappy and smart, too, which should be a given since it's basically become a staple of this series. Without a doubt, Captain Marvel is a killer series, even in its more lackluster issues, that Marvel fans should be reading and supporting.
