I hate the big summer cross-over things, they always get in the way of my favourite runs. UG GET OUT OF HERE, SECRET WARS, NO ONE LIKES YOU.
The end of DeConnick's run though... HOOO BOY. < /3

A beautiful end to the book, interrupted but ultimately not spoiled by some marvel event nonsense.

Like I said for the first and second volumes, I'm not a huge comic fan. Comic book movies, yes. Actual comics? Not normally. I've read a few, but usually they're a little less typical. But my daughter loves superheroes, so in looking for a good comic to get her started with, we got here this, as well as the first Ms. Marvel last year. She loved them. This year for Christmas, we got her the next two in each series. She flew through them, so I decided I'd pick them up and see if I liked them.
The fact that I'm missing a LOT of backstory is WAY worse here. I disliked being constantly referred to other volumes in different series. This felt like a lot of disjointed series stuck together. I didn't like this one was much as the first two. Now I'm on to Ms. Marvel.

I really want to like Captain Marvel, I really wanted to love Captain Marvel in spaaace, I really wanted to enjoy this. But for me, it's frustrating to watch a character that is physically powerful enough to waste whole armies or fleets of ships slumming it with the unpowered. And the political story in the first half wasn't much fun, having entirely too much talking, and the rest wasn't pulpy enough, though I loved it when she ran into giant space tardigrades. The cameo from Rocket Racoon trying to kill her cat was fun for a while as was the twist on that story thread [in volume 2], but overall the whole book felt rushed.
Planet Hulk left a similar bad taste in my mouth, being a similar attempt at putting a Marvel superhero into a classic pulp setting, but both left me disappointed. Neither of these characters are even your average pulp hero - they're MARVEL HEROES and were written as strangely underpowered for the story they were shoved into.
These galaxy-spanning empires are also weirdly underdeveloped in their technology. Instead of depowering their superheroes, I think Marvel authors would be better off reading more Iain Banks and coming up with weirder civilizations and problems that truly test Captain Marvel.
