Currently living in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend and the two brilliant cats that run their lives, you can find Kelly all over the Internet where she is generally well liked, except where she's detested.

Kelly has published two novels - THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING (2012) and STORYKILLER (2014) and the graphic novel HEART IN A BOX from Dark Horse Comics (2015). She's currently writing ROGUE & GAMBIT, HAWKEYE, and PHASMA for Marvel Comics and GHOSTBUSTERS for IDW.

I started reading this story arc abruptly with this issue (this is NOT the first issue in the story arc) because I was so intrigued by the idea of Carol learning magic. Carol is by no means my favorite character, and in fact I miss her old Ms. Marvel costume and haven't really read a Carol solo series since she wore it.

Still, I'm intrigued by this villain Carol is now so terrified of. A hybrid child of Namor and Amora? Intriguing... And the idea of a "cosmic" superhero like Carol learning magic is an interesting subversion of expectations.

However, Carol spends most of the issue begging various magical superheroes to teach her magic, and all refuse her. So the interesting development I want to see never actually happened. Still, props for drawing my interest.

Per quanto sia ridicola la decisione di Carol di combattere il pericolo Ove con la magia (dato che lei non ha poteri magici né li ha mai studiati), la reazione di Strange (e di tutti gli altri alleati) la trovo ottima.
Così come è comprensibile lo stato d'animo di Carol, devastata da incubi tremendi nei quali avverte tutta la colpa di un'imminente apocalisse.
Anche il costume da "Carol incantatrice" è grandioso.

E francamente, la mossa finale... per quanto sia dovuta a premesse sbagliate, può portare a percorsi interessantissimi.

Carol, your friends tried to tell ya. THIS is a bad idea.
