Words can't express how much I hate Carol's completely impractical costume. She really got her own Carolussy out not to mention all the damn buttcheek shots we get?? They couldn't even keep the size of her entire body consistent, along with oh is she wearing a thong or full bottoms? Thanks I hate itWhat is the reason besides gross horny dudes going "heh, hot lady in panties heh". I'm sure this kind of art was very popular then (and still is now) but that isn't an excuse and you suck dudes.This i...

I love Carol Danvers. She's relatable and genuinely wants to do the right thing, has a temper, and is just plain funny. However this comics' plot is all over the place. Villains, aliens, talking cats, and reality tv all at once makes a pretty shaky plot. I love the artwork, Carol, and Doctor Strange was awesome, but we need a tighter plot.

this is a really good first volume of a series, i think it introduces carols thoughts well in the first 3 issues but then it does fall flat on that aspect when the doctor strange storyline kicks in. but when it does start with that it gets a lot faster paced and a good story going.

Completely loved the book! Been meaning to read this for ages. Can't believe it's been 10 years! Great period of Marvel. This book launches right after House of M. This collection ends with Civil War beginning. This is so very much pre-Disney Marvel. Pre-infantilization of Marvel. It feels like genius. But it's just good ole Marvel of yesteryear.

Ms. Marvel was recommended to me by a friend (thanks, Rick), and I'm glad I finally took his advice. It looks like this could be the start of something great!

I really wanted to like this much more than I did. Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) is such an interesting and cool character and I just found that this collection came up short. The “adventures/missions” she went on were rather generic and more often than not the typical and exhausting "female stereotypes" were placed upon the character. While the stories did start to get more interesting near the end of the volume, there is just so much wasted opportunity here and they really are minimizing such a p...

Recently, I decided to give Marvel Comics a try. I have lately enjoyed the character of Ms Marvel from the animated series, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, which recently wrapped up it's run.. And, for those who wonder, it's not because of her stripperiffic costume. It is because a character that has the strength level of the Hulk before he gets angrier and near his invulnerability, yet looks deceptively normal, is interesting to me. Plus, she's a military vet in-story. Granted, it's witht h...

I know next to nothing about Ms. Marvel and, despite this being volume 1, this was not a good introduction to the character. They just sort of tossed you in to the middle of things. However, despite the clumsiness, there were aspects I enjoyed.We discuss Carol Danvers at length in this special episode of the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/ep...

There's just something so human and endearing about Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel. Still one of my favourite superheroes.

"When you're in a team like the Avengers . . . you sit around and wait for the call to assemble. When YOU go out on patrol, THAT's your chance to find out where you're needed before you're needed." -- Ms. MarvelI had a read a few of the more recent 'Captain Marvel' - same character, modified name - collections last year and thought that they were just okay. Best of the Best, though, was a much more entertaining book and I'm NOT saying that because of the cover. (I was actually sort of embarrasse...

excited to continue this series

This was mehs. Ms. Marvel whoops some alien butt and...goes on a talk show. The only interesting part was the ending with Cap and Tony about to talk to her about civil war. The art is solid but it's very "show that ass" style art. A 2 out of 5.

The ironically named “Ms Marvel: Best of the Best” is not a marvel-lous read let alone best of anything; whether she’s a “Ms” or a “Captain”, this is another terrible comic starring Carol Danvers! It’s a piss-poor introduction to the character. There’s some origin retold here – she was an Air Force pilot! – but no mention of how she got her powers. Not that it had to have that but it would’ve been nice for a relatively unknown character like Carol particularly in a first volume. What are her pow...

I've been loving Carol as Captain Marvel so I wanted to go back and read some of her as Ms Marvel. Hmm.. it's OK I guess. The art is fine, but I'm struggling to see Carol in that flippin' stupid black swimming costume with her bum hanging out everywhere. I honestly don't see it fitting with her character, nevermind it making practical sense! I also HATED Frank Cho's covers.. they're really tacky (as is all his art, the guy is gross and I'm not a fan) and trashy and she has ridiculously proportio...

Spinning out of House of M, Ms. Marvel finally gets her own book for the first time in 20 years. In House of M Ms. Marvel was the world's most popular super hero. In our universe no one even knows who she is even though she was an Avenger until recently. So she determines to turn her life around. In this arc, she encounters The Brood and Warren Traveller, a magician who somehow crossed over from House of M. I did find it strange that Reed doesn't reintroduce us to Carol's origins or powers as sh...

I was sort of torn on this one - I'd started with later Captain Marvel and worked back, and in some ways this collection felt very much of its time, and a little out of touch. Some of the focus on Ms. Marvel's personal life felt a bit invasive and minimizing. But overall, it made for a good balance between the big action beats and the smaller character moments. The whole publicity agent B-story feels like a setup for something bigger. There are lots of references to House of M (which preceded th...

The plot of this sucked. I don’t love the art. But it’s still not the worst thing I’ve ever read.

I like Carol. She worked in NASA, she is smart and competent, and she wants to be the best superheroine. I loved that. Many superheroes have the plot of "getting better", they train and practice, and they have the space to fail and try again. Superheroines, however, don't have that luxury, they always have to be perfect and successful. So yeah, I loved that Carol, who is a very loved and known character of Marvel universe, wants to grow.

Pretty good read, though it did help to be a followup to House of M. Been trying to figure out why Marvel would be thinking making a Captain Marvel movie. For me Carol Danvers is just the character from whom Rogue accidentally stole her powers. But Carol Danvers has a major thing going for her in the Marvel cinematic universe - she's not a mutant - in fact her powers are Kree based and the Kree is already part of the Marvel cinematic universe. So I guess her movie makes even more sense than Guar...
