Monica Rambeau is one of my favourite heroes. I've read Nextwave: Agents of Hate and The Ultimates, and she is fantastic on both of those teams. I had high hopes for this collection but found it to be just okay (this tends to happen with older comics). The characterization of Monica is good, but a few of these comics focus on other heroes while Monica is sidelined. There were also some interesting concepts for stories but I felt that they were not well executed, and there were a few cringey moments that were unnecessary. Overall, this is a fine introduction to how Monica gets her powers and becomes an Avenger, but I think she deserves better.
