Captain Marvel #10 // Review
Kelly Thompson blurs the line between friends and enemies, heroes and villains as Captain Marvel falls deeper into the mystery surrounding her recent power malfunction. With art from Carmen Carnero, colors from Tamra Bonvillain, and letters by VCโs Clayton Cowles, Captain Marvel #10 is a turning point for the story with beautiful visuals.
Minerva knows why Carolโs powers arenโt working but fixing the problem is going to fall on Carolโs shoulders. Sheโs already lost her career, the love of the people, and a friend. So what more does she have to lose?
Thompson gives Minerva some much-needed context in this issue, explaining how she fits into the recent events in Captain Marvelโs life. Star gets the same treatment as her true identity is finally revealed.
Thereโs a scene where Captain Marvel is falling out of the sky that fits perfectly with the title of the arc, โFalling Star.โ For all of her power and bravado, sheโs helpless against the forces larger than her, both gravity and the plot Minervaโs set in motion.
While this isnโt the first time Carolโs had her powers drained, this is a refreshing take on the plot thatโs going to have far-reaching effects on her life.
