I stopped reading comics in the 90s because of Crossover Events happening too often. I wasn't going to buy 4 Spider-Man titles to keep up with a story twice a year. When I came back to comics I stuck with smaller publishers and characters to avoid this. But I like Kelly Thompson so I followed her to Captain Marvel.
This books starting at random with a single issue Crossover Event story was a disappointment. When the X-Men showed up I got worried about the rest but at least we get a whole story in these books without needing to follow another title entirely.

Summary:
Captain Marvel Vol. 9 contains a single-issue plot and the beginning of a new plot arc; Revenge of the Brood.
Judgment Day: This is a crossover event happening throughout the Marvel universe. However, it takes a unique turn here, as Chewie, Captain Marvel, and her newly found sister all get involved.
Revenge of the Brood (Part I): The Brood are back, and this time they have a targeted plan. One that will pull Carol Danvers and many of her allies into the mix - including several beloved X-Men characters.
Review:
Captain Marvel Vol. 9 is another perfect volume for fans of this outstanding character. The writing is phenomenal, and the artwork (as always) is amazing. Kelly Thompson brings many critical elements of Carol's backstory full circle, and I am here.
Judgment Day: Captain Marvel #42 is set between arcs, meaning it's a little lighter and much less intense than other plots. And seriously, any issue titled "The Chewie Center" is at risk of becoming my favorite. After all, Chewie is pretty much the best character ever (can you tell I'm a crazy cat lady?). I should probably also mention that this issue is a bit of a crossover with an event happening, Judgment Day. But you don't need to know that context to have fun with this issue.
Revenge of the Brood (Part I): Okay, so I knew it would hit hard because Brood, duh. But I was NOT expecting certain characters to get so wrapped up in this plot. It's a pleasant surprise and does a great job of bringing certain elements full circle. That's always been a talent of Kelly Thompson's, so that isn't all that much of a surprise. But it is appreciated.
Kelly Thompson did a wonderful job of playing with past events and references throughout Captain Marvel Vol. 9. One thing I love about her writing Captain Marvel is she never dances around her history. It's always present, and when it is relevant, boy, does it come up. Much of this plot feels oddly full circle but in a horrifying way. Only time will tell how accurate that statement is.
That said, a few subtle elements are worth noting, much of which has to do with the past. It always comes back around to the past, doesn't it? Funny how that happens.
Highlights:
Revenge of the Brood
Hazmat & Spider-Woman Cameos
X-Men Cameos

A fun team up with some of the X-Men, but overall I just wasn’t that interested in the story.
