I think I like this version of Captain Marvel better than this version of Hawkeye. This Hawkeye doesn't have a family and is no longer part of the Avengers. It wasn't bad, but I also didn't care for the comic style. I'll keep reading Captain Marvel, but idk about Hawkeye.

First time reading any comic about the Avengers. Loved it. Looking forward to volume 2. So shiny. I want more details about her family, though. Who are the woman and child she lives with? Partner and daughter? Sister and niece? Unclear in first volume. #comicbooks #graphicnovels #captainmarvel #theavengers #beautifulbooks

I decided to move my reading outside for a moment and picked this to read. It‘s been sitting on my shelf waiting to be read for so long that I decided it was time to give it a go. It was okay but as with most Marvel comics I‘ve read I always feel like I‘m missing so much because I‘ve only read a handful of them. But I did enjoy the story and Carol‘s badassery! My second finished book for #24in48!

I needed something positive after reading about assault and institutional sexism, so I borrowed this from #PrimeReading. It was a quick, fun read. I like that Captain Marvel is a strong female lead who's friendly and personable rather than off-putting, antisocial, and scary. This story dealt with some heavy issues, such as refugees and social environmentalism, but lightened it up with a lot of humor. Also, lots of diversity represented.

My weekend #24B4Monday story. I knew I would be busy Saturday and Sunday, so I read mostly on Fri. On Sat., in between laundry, sorting toddler clothes in storage, and taking our oldest to a car show so he could participate in a karate demo, I read 1 hr/18 min. And Sun., I was on kid duty all day, so I read about 1 hr/36 min. I read #MeToo, and then felt the need to counter it with the tagged comic. Reviews coming.

I‘ve always considered myself a child of the 80s, but when I went looking for a picture to participate in the #90sSpringFling, I realized what an important decade the 90s was for me! I graduated both high school and college in the 90s, and this picture is me “hard at work” at my first major job after college, where I worked for the rest of the decade.

@Branwen since you saw the movie, you‘ll appreciate the book I tagged for the 90s reference! 😁

I went to see CAPTAIN MARVEL and as soon as it ended, the little girl next to me jumped up and said, “I‘m now Captain Marvel Jr!”

It was one of those MOMENTS, y‘all. Those little bits of proof that stories matter. 😭😭😭😭

I had a great time with the movie my own self. I stayed mostly spoiler-free, so I didn‘t know the Skrulls were in it, or what they did with Mar-Vell, or about the FLERKIN. My Marvel Cosmic-loving heart is happy.

xicanti Also: the scene where she beats the hell out of the bad guys to No Doubt‘s “Just A Girl” had me all 😭😍😭😍😭😍 And I was delighted afterwards to learn that Ridiculously Beautiful Kree Warrior Lady (her official name) was played by Gemma Chan, who previously wowed me as Astrid in CRAZY RICH ASIANS. Come to my screen more often, please, Gemma Chan! (edited) 5y

My daughter is seriously obsessed with Captain Marvel (and really all female super heroes!)
She chose this dress to be her Easter dress this year and asked me to make her into a comic book superhero because we've been reading Captain Marvel and Marvel Rising graphic novels together recently!
#girlpower

Weaponxgirl That is so awesome! Has she found some of the other marvel female superheroes? There‘s a few age appropriate inspiring ones about now. 5y
kyraleseberg @Weaponxgirl Besides Captain Marvel, Squirrel Girl is her fave right now; she loves the Shannon Hale series and now Marvel Rising is also introducing her to Ms. Marvel & Quake! 5y
Weaponxgirl @kyraleseberg all excellent choices! If she hasn‘t found her yet I‘d also recommend moongirl and devil dinosaur. About a genius I think 10 year old who has a dinosaur. I wish the series had been around when I was a kid. 5y
kyraleseberg @Weaponxgirl I've heard of that series but haven't checked our library for it before! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely tell her about it! 5y

This is one of the better Captain Marvel series that I have read. I really didn't like Carol Danvers in the older Marvel series, especially in the Civil War volumes. Kelly Sue DeConnick's writing is great. Captain Marvel finally has the voice she deserves. She is a top tier Marvel hero, and she is finally being treated as such. I still need to see the movie, and this comic has me all the more excited to do so.

I saw “Captain Marvel” this weekend and absolutely loved it! Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson had brilliant chemistry together as a buddy cop team.

I haven‘t keep up with superhero comics in the last few years, but this movie convinced me I have to read Kelly Sue DeConnick‘s “Captain Marvel” books, as her stories were apparently a big influence. The “Captain Marvel” movie has made me a True Believer! 😀

Branwen Her stories are my FAVORITE Captain Marvel portrayals ever! 😀👍 5y
DaveGreen7777 @Branwen I read her first volume and liked it, but never got back to the series after that. 😞 I really have to catch up on her Captain Marvel run, as well as Ms Marvel by G. Willow Wilson, which I also hear is epic! 😀 5y

I saw this last night and I have been both excited and scared since it was announced it was going to be made.
The consensus is a big hell yes! My non comic book friends loved it too.
The soundtrack to this movie is awesome, goose steals the show (Chewey in the comics) and yea, I‘m still on a high from this one.

mreads I thought it was great too ❤😀👍. Wonder how many ginger cats will soon be named flerken or goose. 😁 5y
Weaponxgirl @mreads I bet there will be so many. I really liked the changes from the comic book too. I thought it was a good take and gave it a different vibe 5y

Weaponxgirl @mreads and I loved when she refused to fight Jude laws character on his terms saying she had nothing to prove to him. I thought that was a powerful message conveyed. And now I will stop going on about it. 😊😍 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Just saw it tonight @Weaponxgirl and @mreads I have to agree with everything you said! It took them long enough to make a female centered movie, but they did it right! And yes, great scene with Jude Law at the end and I foresee lots of flerkens in the future (it made me laugh because I have a cat named duck, so possibly related, LOL) 5y

Totally loved this! We‘re a massive MCU household and every movie that comes out, I just love more and more. I‘ve read a few of the graphic novels, but am somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer volume of them. So pleased I went for this one though. I loved that Captain Marvel wasn‘t a token female, but that women were the majority of the characters. I love her upgraded suit. I love learning more Marvel lore. Can‘t wait to smash through Vol 2 tomorrow!
