Ms. Marvel Tie-In

[Nutcase65]

I checked the posts on these issues on her main thread and this is a little different so I choose to post this review in the same venue as the others I have done in this Vein

I'll be reviewing issues 6-8 using the sam methodology of my other reviews.

Issue #6
In this issue we deal with another mostly singular aspect of the War. Being a policeman, and the choices you have to make. Carol has always been a soldier, I'm glad that they played her like they did throughout the entire series. I think they were fair with their assessment of what side she was on, and how she felt about the whole thing.

Things I liked:
Carol as a cop, already hit that
The character choices. Nobody really overpowers the presence of the main character. I've also always been a fan of Wonderbread and B&W spiderwoman
The fact that in the Cap falshback we see that Carol chose her side because it was what she believed, not because she was influenced by the wills of others.
"Since when are you a vegetarian" "Since I felt my cholesterol increase just listening to you order your food"
A superhero working at chickencow
Robbers making a BIG mistake
"Who want a piece of me"

Things I didn't like:
S.H.I.E.L.D interrogatin Hobie. I hated seeing him denied his rights. It's believable, I just didn't like it.
Julia being a traitor. I didn't like it when they did it with Tigra going the other way, and I don't like it here. Just doesn't feel right to me.


Overall this issue had some pretty decent action and enjoyable story movement. It also gives us a better look at the day-to-day work that super-hero hunters have to do.

I give this issue a decent
7 Loonies out of 10

Issue #7-

In this issue we see more about hunting other heroes, specifically the one who turned on them. Also we get a look at the future of hero development with some on the job trainig with Arana (A character that was previously unknown to me)

Things that I liked:
Fateh daughter time. It really establishes a connection with the characters
Dad in the mirror room. This little scene really puts you in it. Imagine you're a parent two big bad super-heroes come and take you from a rooftop, in the atmosphere present at the time. You're now in a little room and don't know what's going on with your kid. That's pretty good writing.
Arana in training
Dad meets Arana. Same as above, imagine finding this out.
Wanting to be a hero and knowing what it means to you.
"But I am still her papa. I am still the one you will have to deal with if she gets hurt."
Arana taking an active role in her own training

Things I didn't like:
The fight on the freeway. I really don't think either side of this issue would've endangered the other drivers so thoughtlessly. I feel Carol is responsible enough she would've waited for a less risky moment.

again, a decent issue. Not nearly as much meat as the first issue, but this was really meant as a bridge. There was decent character development here as well.

I rate this one 6 Loonies out of 10

Issue #8-

The wrap up. They pretty much bring this chapter to a pretty believable close. They also really bring out the cost of all of this as well. They also put a pretty good lead in to get people to continue in the series with a story that might interest some people.

Things I liked:
Background on Julia
Carol talking about crossing the line
Shroud's point of view
"there's something I have to do"
Julia just wants a normal life
Learning the difference between right an wrong and learning there are some things worth fighting for
That was a good fight
Arana learns a little bit about the price to pay for her choice
So does Carol
So does Julia

Things I didn't like:
Carol's reaction concerning Julia in the beginning of the issue
Julia hit wonderbread hard enough to put him out of the fight?!?


Thing that broke my heart:
"MOMMY MOMMY"

I though this was a very good fight, a very good and proper wrap- up to the story and a great anti-climax.

I give this
8 Loonies out of 10

Wrap-Up

I really did enjoy this story. It didn't get into the politics of the main story. It dealt with people's personal choices, personal sacrifices and the resiults of both of those.

It also took the entire issue down to an indivdual level.

You really get to see the brother/vs brother level of the story broke down to individuals. We really got to see what happened to good friendships.

Having Arana get to develop through the story is a great idea. She starts off getting all excited about getting to be a hero. We see her get to see what it actually means and that heroes have to make hard decisions that others may not agree with.

We also get to see things from a family perspective and what it costs to be family.

As far as how this relates to the main story on a scale of 1 to 10:
I give it an 8

I think it's important that we get to see individuals. We see so much about leadership and mass battles. It is key that we know how single people are affected as well.
