REVIEW: Captain Marvel #4 – Plan C?

Captain Marvel #4 is all about the fight or flight. Carol is forced to make several tough decisions about whether she should engage with the Satori ships or protect her team. From the little we learn from the Satori pilot their race seem to be in some kind of feud with the Kree; the Kree previously destroyed their home planet and now for some reason they are after half-Kree Captain Marvel. But why did they shoot down their own ship? And if all of the Kree are gone what do they hope to gain from their mission? There are still several unanswered questions the issue leaves us with and the ending felt like it came much too soon. I wish it had been a little bit longer.

However, I do like how this issue furthers the relationship between Captain Marvel and Lt. Commander Brand. While they started out slightly hostile, both women seem to have come to a grudging respect for the other. It’s nice to see two very different badass ladies in charge and supporting each other.
