This review is from: Crazy Like a Fox (Captain Marvel) (Paperback)

This is supposed to close out the "insane Captain Marvel" story of the previous two volumes. In it, Genis is waaaaay over the edge and has found creative ways to use his new powers. Rick is still trapped in the Microverse and attempting to reach his former friend. In the end, the story tries its best to resolve itself while still leaving enough plot threads hanging to pull you into the next volume. While the whole concept was an interesting diversion, I wasn't really impressed with it. Peter David took the Captain Marvel (Junior) character and really drug him through the mud mentally. So much so that I actually lost any compassion for the guy and couldn't care less whether he got "fixed up" or not. Granted, the mind-wipe of the Punisher in volume 1 was cool, but not much else happened in these 3 volumes that couldn't have been told in a simple two-or-three issue arc. Recommended for the true fan only. The casual fan might not care for it.
