3.5 stars. Was excited for this arc but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Intrigued by Binary, so we’ll see how that develops.

Thank you Kelly Thompson for bringing back the Carol I adore. This was gloriously feminine and incredibly badass.

Captain Marvel, Vol. 2: Falling Star by Kelly Thompson

adventurous tense fast-paced

4.0

Continues to be a very refreshing take on Carol - her life, her choices, her struggles. Star seemed a little exaggeratedly evil, but I suppose it is a comic book after all...

3.0

Almost all the fun of Ms Marvel with none of the heart. Hinted at previous plot points with Bruno and her friends but just let them drop. No family storyline which is so important to Kamala’s character. All action, very rushed, very unsatisfying especially as this was supposed to be a comic starting point for Kamala as she was introduced to the MCU. Really disappointing.

A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir
Did not finish book.

DNF

I tried. I just couldn’t. It was too dark. Extremely well designed and executed, but too dark. I saw child death as a moderate TW and thought I’d be fine but I couldn’t get past that scene.
