Book Review: The Mighty Captain Marvel Vol. 3 by M. Stohl et al.

The Mighty Captain Marvel Volume 3: Dark Origins written by Margaret Stohl and art by Michele Bandini


Captain Marvel searches for her lost Kree friend Bean only to get sucked into an alternate universe. This new universe is your standard mirror-universe. Here, Captain Marvel is the most wanted outlaw in the galaxy (with the Guardians of the Galaxy running a close second). She has to pretend to be bad and figure out the interpersonal dynamics of everyone's mirror-self in order to get back, let alone find Bean.

The story was a bit too "paint by numbers" for me. I've read and seen lots of mirror-universe stories and this is totally standard stuff. Changing Groot into Root (he's a giant walking carrot instead of a tree) was funny, but that was the rare shining moment in a lot of dullness.

Not recommended.
