Captain Marvel #2
Writer: Kelly Sue Deconnick
Art: Dexter Soy
This issue starts off with Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) taking her friend, Tracy, to her hero (Helen Cobb's) private hanger to see the plane she (Helen Cobb) flew to 37k feet in whilst escaping from a Peruvian general. The record was never proven, so Carol decides that she will repeat the feat in the same plane. However, Carol pushes it a little too far, all the instruments freeze and she starts to plummet. Refusing to use her powers and do it “the old-fashioned way”, Carol blacks out and wakes up in 1943. Following some communication difficulties with some Japanese soldiers, Carol throws back a grenade that was thrown at them, and meets an American, all-female, task force who warn her to keep quiet in case the Prowlers hear them. They are then attacked by a huge, flying pyramid.
This issue was good in
my opinion. Issue one didn't really do anything for me but I wasn't
expecting much from it being a first issue. Writer Kelly Sue
Deconnick is doing a great job bringing life to a character that I
didn't really care about (other than to look at), and Dextor Soy''s
art, though a little dark, is beautiful to look at.
Definitely pick this up
if you want a light read that looks to be heating up next issue.
