The Life of Captain Marvel,
This review is from: The Life of Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) (Paperback)
This is where it all begins! This collection compiles the early appearance of Captain Mar-Vell in the issues of Iron Man and his early comicbook issues. Enjoy his battles with all kinds of villians (especially Thanos) and peek into the private life that he shares with his alter ego; Rick Jones (a one time partner of the Hulk and Captain America). One of the best compilation by Marvel Comics and a gem to true blue comicbooks fans, completist and readers alike! Worth the look!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Starlin Run,

This review is from: The Life of Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) (Paperback)
This trade paperback reprints:Captain Marvel 25-34, Iron Man 55, Marvel Feature 12 which is some of the best work Starlin did on this title, although I consider his run on Warlock to be his magnum opus. Also considerThe Life and Death of Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) , which reprints the above, plus Marvel Graphic Novel #1, The Death of Captain Marvel.

Good but somewhat overrated,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Life of Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) (Paperback)
I had often heard that this run of Jim Starlin-produced stories was one of the best of the 70s so when I spotted an inexpensive copy on Amazon I snatched it up. I was a fan of Starlin's 80s series Dreadstar and so was curious to see what this was like.On its own terms it is quite good. It recounts Captain Marvel's first clash with Thanos as the latter tries to gain the Cosmic McGuff-- err, Cosmic Cube and throws in a bunch of other colorful characters: The Thing, Iron Man, Drax the Destroyer, Mentor and Eros and villians like the Controller, the Blood Brothers and the Super-Skrull. Starlin is trying to elevate the usual superhero slugfests by creating a longer story that broadens the scope and raises the stakes. But it is not that much better than a lot of other comics that came out at the same time. Starlin was still growing as an artist and while there are flashes of brilliance, the work here isn't as good as his later stuff. This is particularly true of the Iron Man story -- one of Starlin's first major pieces -- and it shows. Story-wise it is a little clunky in parts too.
