Captain Marvel, Volume 1: In Pursuit of Flight

I read these as individual issues, but reread as an arc in the trade. Carol is probably my favorite female superhero (that's currently being written, anyway). I love the dialogue and writing on this, though time travel plots make my head hurt a bit. The only problem I have with this book is the art. Dexter Soy was a bit odd at first, but really grew on me. Emma Rios, the other artist in this book, I am not a big fan of. Everyone sort of looks the same and I don't see much of the attitude and solidity that Soy gave the characters. I love the Banshees and hope they somehow turn up again, though it doesn't seem likely.

Final nitpick: the character history/dossier in the back lists Carol as 5'11” and 145 pounds. Uh, no. She's not a model, she punches out sharks and dinosaurs. Girl will need way more muscle than that.

WHIIINE it's so hard to get into new comics, there are so many characters. I spent like half of this book trying to figure out if one of the characters in the present-day arc was also in the past arc. But in the era of Wikipedia I have no one to blame but myself.

The POINT is that Carol is a total badass & I would like to read more stories about her please.
