It’s okay. I actually really liked the Life and Times of Carol Danvers section. And the Dexter Soy art is always gorgeous.
But honestly, the writing on the main title was far too ham-fisted. I’m all about empowerment and strong female characters, it’s part of why I love Carol Danvers, but you don’t need to pound us in the face with girl power.
It’s like in show business. Show, don’t tell.
