I've been reading this title since it came out and I really like the way it is all alternate reality tinged. I mean, It all starts with Carol in the House of M, which inspires her to be more, but then she gets beaned by a wacko arch enemy from the House of M reality, now, in the current issues is an alternate reality War Bird, from a reality that diverged in the very pages of Ms. Marvel (the Brood invasion) I really hope this is going somewhere, and that the book dosen't suddenly get the axe due to her being in Mighty. Can't wait till she goes Binary in a couple months (I wonder if the Brood have anything to do with it like last time? I think I saw her using Binary powers in issue #9)

I'm not quite sure what to think about this series. Carol's my second-favorite character in the MU, and I really want to like her book. But it seems to be all over the map.
I'm not even sure whether all the Civil War stuff hurts or helps it. On the one hand, the CW stuff has given a more cohesive direction to the storyline (with Wondy, Arachne, etc). On the other hand, what does it say about the series in general, when it takes a big crossover to provide the most coherent storyline to the book? Hmmm.
I think you make a good point about it being all about alternate realities. I hadn't considered how much of the book was about that, but you're right.
So we have a contemporary MU character in a solo book, and she's had two main storylines thus far: alternate realities, and a big crossover. Neither of them are really about her.
Not Good for the future of the book, I fear....
