A really big Avengers battle with Captain Marvel at the center. We've seen this plot before. But what does self-sacrifice mean for a being that resurrects itself? That's a story for later, apparently. ( )

This isn't just Captain Marvel as a part of the Avengers, it is a full-on Avengers/Captain Marvel crossover. As I've missed a bit of Captain Marvel, I came to the party feeling a bit behind, but very quickly it didn't seem to matter. Because, you know, there is Spider-Woman being snarky, Thor talking about how much he likes hitting things with his hammer, and Captain Marvel harnessing a dinosaur. So, okay, I'm on board.

I mean, some of this plot seems a bit cribbed together. You've got your supervillian uses hero's own powers against her. (I guess it's still relatively fresh that it's a her.) Superhero proves its not your powers, it's how you use them. Plus, a new supervillain is born. Then there's an "I am Spartacus!" moment. But somehow, I never tire of Carol's "Screw you, I'm an Avenger!" moments. Plus, there is this really sweet bit at the end with a little girl Carol is friends with. And lots of brief but satisfying appearances from other Avengers. (I relish every moment Spider-Woman and Hulk are teamed up.)

So, you know, not as perfect as Science Bros. Still thoroughly enjoyable. ( )

Excellent. A continuation of the Captain Marvel volumes in the Marvel Now collection, this follows up with the ongoing struggle that the new Captain Marvel is facing with her brain issues. If she flies, the new part of her brain that has given her powers is in dangers of basically exploding and causing her to forget who she is. The enemy has never been greater for her, and in this volume a lot of big things happen. I was so glad to have read this, because it was a perfect ending to the story that was developed in the first two volumes of Captain Marvel. This is an Avengers comic however, because Captain Marvel is paired up with them to fight this big villain that is threatening the lives of the entire city, if not the world! ( )
