You know what I liked? Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Sif one-shot from a couple of years ago. It was an incredibly fun four color adventure, featuring a strong female lead. The reason I bring that book up was that I expected much the same from Captain Marvel #1. Perhaps it was unfair of me to expect that, but I really feel that the majority of the promotional materials, particularly the Ed McGuiness covers, created the expectation of good old fashioned comic book fun in the same vein as that Sif one-shot I loved so much. Unfortunately, this comic is anything but fun. Even a potentially energetic fight scene at the start is quickly overwhelmed by a mountain of dialog before being quickly overshadowed by a heavy handed attempt to address legacy via a cliched boxing scene and a rote, emotionally unearned funeral. The art doesn’t help either, creating a dark, depressingly gritty world that seems inconsistent at best and murky and confusing at worst. I’m a fan of Kelly Sue’s past work and I think this book has a lot of potential. I hope that she and Carol Danvers both quickly find their legs and turn this into the Marvel cornerstone it deserves to be.
