Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #16
"The Deep Deadly Silence!"

In which Ms. Marvel almost sacrifices herself to save Namorita. My hero.

And here's her doing some nonsensical science-y stuff. Apparently Carol used to be smarter than she is now.

Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #19
"Mirror, Mirror!"

In which Carol Danvers offers to buy Mar-Vell breakfast.

Ignore the creepy cover, this story is actually very empowering for Carol and full of great moments. Here's her beating the everloving **** out of Ronan.

Have you read all the CM comics mate?

Have you read all the CM comics mate?

No because I stopped reading them right after Civil War 2 started. That event was so catastrophically bad that it temporarily ruined the character for me. But eventually I will

"The All-New Ms. Marvel"

In which Carol Danvers finally starts wearing her iconic black costume with the thigh high boots. What reason are we given for her choice?



Because she thinks she looks grrrrreat in it. Incredible writing.
Still a very fun issue, though. It's Ms. Marvel fighting a bunch of lizard people, what's not to love.​

"The Devil in the Dark!"

In which Ms. Marvel fights a huge ass cobra.​

I will always prefer that costume and name... I know it's outdated and slightly non pc but that was when her character was at its best.

I really want to read these lizard stories.

I will always prefer that costume and name... I know it's outdated and slightly non pc but that was when her character was at its best.

My issue with the costume is not that it's un-PC (for example, I love She-Hulk's classic costume), it's that in my opinion it doesn't fit the character.

I really want to read these lizard stories.

I absolutely love this story, it's so... comic book-y. Plus I just have a soft spot for lost civilizations and lizard people.

 

[Jh7058622]

I wasn't talking about her costume so much as her name. I don't know if I disagree about her costume not making sense. It looks alien enough for me haha.

"Second Chance!"

In which Mike Barnett, Carol's shrink and boyfriend, goes full creep.



Um okay dude, you'll be dead in a few issues.​

I wasn't talking about her costume so much as her name.

Ah okay, fair enough. Personally I like "Captain Marvel" more, but it's a matter of preference I guess.

Maybe he was acting as a creep toward her and that made her feel reaaaaallly uncomfortable? And she's a maniac anyway.

"Invasion!"

In which Ms. Marvel summarily executes a defeated Brood drone, and can you blame her? After all the Brood has put her through.
​

Maybe he was acting as a creep toward her and that made her feel reaaaaallly uncomfortable? And she's a maniac anyway.

The second one is the correct answer.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Did the Carnage xenomorph (nightmarish mix) make her brood relentlessly?

 

[Abudefduf]

86 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 2 #3

In which the Brood makes absolutely no appearance. What a misleading cover.



The actual antagonist of the story is this ugly alien thing, who will later be revelead to be a hot alien chick. Comics!​

Did the Carnage xenomorph (nightmarish mix) make her brood relentlessly?

Yes, that's one of the side-effects of coming into contact with the Brood. Hence its name
