Higher Further faster More

[beccaelizabeth]

I was at the bookshop today looking at graphic novels and Hawkeye wasn't in, but I saw Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel.  I'm new to marvel via the MCU and all I've read so far are tie ins and Fraction's Hawkeye, but I've been hearing about these others on tumblr a lot, and all I've been hearing is good.

So, I just read the volume Higher Further Faster More, and now I have a face like :-D

(I maybe hugged this comic.  A bit.  while making the face like :-D )

It started difficult.  I suspect despite the 1 on the edge this isn't the beginning of anything.  There's a lot of people I don't recognise and they're doing stuff, and I'm sort of making a mental list to wiki later, but then

Carol goes to space

and all is awesome.

Characters!  Who are awesome!  Starship battles!  That bit in the middle where the big saviour person should be really embarrassed!  Poking around and finding Clues and the way even I can keep up which I am quite grateful for!  Really Big spaceship battles!  And then the big ending!

... yes I am thinking in mostly ! right now :-D

I went back and read the good bits over again.  The flashback format at the start made more sense by the end of course.  but mostly I just liked watching her stand up and be awesome.  well, I say stand, but mostly fly... :-D

I did find myself grateful for Kit's little summary page of powers origins, partly because it's like giving me permission to not know anything beyond that.  Like, here's what you need to know, aaaand we're off!

So now I want to order more just like this, and handily the inside covers have the ISBNs for more that indeed look greatly like this.  Though there's more than one volume 1.

I just kind of just spent quite a bit of money ordering more Hawkeye though...

But I do have Ms Marvel still to read :-)

... I kind of want to sit here staring at the Captain Marvel until I get all the details out first though :-D

Oh, yeah, I started there, too, but in the "floppies." In the text page, they mentioned it was an odd relaunch with a new #1, but the same writer as a few months before? Or something.

Anyway, it is a pretty fun series. Rocket is an ass, though.
