i'm not a big of the art, but the story seems promising.

I'm very much in love with the Marvel NOW! run, so it was great to have the opportunity to read more Captain Marvel, especially to see how Carol took the name again. I also really loved the art, and the characters seemed fascinating.

Now I'm going to have to read this run too!

Horrible art in this one. Was really excited for this and then got disappointed quickly.

It wasn't bad, but I just didn't feel connected to the story.

Maybe because of the illustrations?

I feel like the drawings somewhat drew me out of the story. It was sort of a blurry, watercoloresque type of illustration and it wasn't really my type.

As for the story, I can't really say I love it or hate it yet, since I'm only on the first issue. It got me curious about her relationship with my Bae, Captain America. Haha.

Fantastic art style. I felt very connected to Carol. I am very excited to finish the following 16 issues. There was a constant flow of story and smooth transitions to the next scene. Very enjoyable. I hope that remaining issues will continue in the same direction.

Although I was looking forward to reading this, I ended up being overall disappointed. The first half of the volume especially has art that I find catering too much to the male gaze and, to me personally, ugly and poorly done. The dialogue is too aware of the time period it's set in (1960s) at best, sexist at worst. (Captain America says at one point "I've been trying to get you demoted for years." and it seems more serious than a joke amongst friends (and equals).) It does seem to switch over to a better artist towards the end, but by that point it was too late for me.
