Teaser Trailer: The Marvels

I had been meaning to post the teaser trailer for The Marvels movie which is why I'm doing it now. This trailer looks amazing. Four of my favorite characters in one movie, how could I not want to see this? It looks like a fun sci-fi comedy action adventure. I wish it was released this summer instead of on Friday, November 10th but I can patiently wait.

Everything about this trailer is so cool and amazing. You have Captain Marvel, Spectrum and Ms. Marvel stuck in some sort of power activated teleportation thing going on. And not to mention Nick Fury is in this plus Goose, again how could I not want to see this? Okay, who else is excited to see The Marvels?

Review:

The description for this volume was misleading because thankfully there was no fight between Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) and the original Captain Marvel (Monica Bambeau). Superheroes fighting each other is such a boring cliché.

In issues #7 and #8, Carol was down in New Orleans working with Monica to try to figure out what was causing the disappearance of planes and ships in the area. Also, there but mainly getting in the way was Frank Gianelli, one of Carol's old friend and colleague. The cause of all the problems surprised even them and required a unique way to fix it. This had a nice ending.

Issues #9-12, had Carol back home in New York City dealing with one issue after the next. Including, experiencing a lot of severe headaches which seem to get worse whenever she uses her flying abilities. Her doctor instructed her not to fly but how do you stop doing something that is so natural to you. But after a disastrous fight with an old enemy Deathbird, Carol had no choice but to stop flying. However, her new assistant Wendy Kawasaki came up with an interesting way to keep Captain Marvel in the air...Captain America's flying motorcycle.

There seems to be a connection between Deathbird's reappearance and Captain Marvel's headaches and it all coincides with someone mysterious trying to manipulate Carol into reacting a certain way. And to top it all off, she may be getting evicted from her apartment.

I really like this. The writing was very good and the artwork wasn't bad despite having two different artists. There were a few cameos that I really liked, such as:

- Seeing the original Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), that was awesome. Why doesn't she have her own series?

- Tony Stark being his usual annoyingly charming self.

 - Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), fun as always.

- Captain America (Steve Rogers), always doling out good advice.

- Dakota North, tough as ever.


Overall, this was a good read and I really can't wait to read the next group of issues.
