Sivana is trying to destroy a solar research station using giant robots and other mad science inventions, but new hero Captain Marvel keeps getting in the way. In Fawcett City, evil scientist and industrialist Dr. After it’s “prelude,” the three-part “Lightning Strikes Twice” story that ran through the Superman titles (and was collected in the Day of Vengeance trade), and the weak issues of Outsiders featuring Captain Marvel Jr., I was pretty sure I’d hate this series.īut surprise, surprise, mostly freed from the bounds of continuity (this story is a “Year One” one), Winick does seem to get many of the characters fairly well, and arranges the toys in a way that allows Middleton to make the most of them. Well?: The words "pleasantly surprised" pretty much sum up my feelings about this book. Plus, Joshua Middleton’s art is absolutely gorgeous, and I’ve always liked Captain Marvel as a character, even if I’ve never read more than a handful's worth of stories featuring him in them that weren’t crap. Why Now?: Word from some of my fellow Best Shots shooters was that this is a book well worth reading, and even those who normally hate Winick’s writing (Hey, that’s me!) will be pleasantly surprised. Judd Winick + DCU comic = Wait for the trade to make it to the library.
