3.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Marvel in the Civil War, May 7, 2007

This review is from: Civil War: Ms. Marvel (v. 2) (Hardcover)

As the Civil War between the heroes for and against the superhero registration act rages on, sides are chosen. For Carol "Ms. Marvel" Danvers, her side is with Tony "Iron Man" Stark. As Iron Man takes on Captain America and his rebels, Carol teams up with Hank Pym, Wasp, Wonder Man, Arachne, and others standing with Iron Man that are for the registration, in training a new generation of S.H.I.E.L.D. approved super humans. Unlike the Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic Four Civil War tie-in TPB's, the Ms. Marvel chapter doesn't really give the reader anything they won't see or learn in the main Civil War storyline. Not to mention that there are some apparent plot holes and inconsistencies to be found here as well to boot. That being said, there is some solid art to be found in this pretty short TPB, mainly by Mike Wieringo, but like many of Marvel's recent TPB collections to be released, this is not necessary or worthy of a hardcover edition. All in all, Ms. Marvel's chapter in the Civil War may be worth a look for completists, but leaving it on the shelf won't hurt you either.

4.0 out of 5 stars pleasantly surprised..., April 23, 2007

This review is from: Civil War: Ms. Marvel (v. 2) (Hardcover)

I wasn't expecting much here. After the first collection, I was still trying to decide if this character and her story were compelling enough to justify her own solo book. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find myself engaged throughout this whole collection. Once Mr. Wieringo picked up the pencils, I was hooked. There were a few holes in the plot, as the appearance of the House-of-M Ms.Marvel (Warbird) seemed rather improbable, but despite a shaky set up, the story held together because of the believable characterizations of the heroines.
Altogether this was better than the first collection, and recommended. I did miss the covers by Frank Cho....

This review is from: Ms. Marvel Vol. 2: Civil War (Mighty Avengers) (v. 2) (Paperback)

I just found this book to be a little boring. I was glad when it was over, but to be fair, I've never been an Avengers fan and really barely knew who she was. So I admit, I'm not emotionally invested in the character.
