Collects The Mighty Captain Marvel (2016) #5-9. As SECRET EMPIRE begins, Captain Marvel faces the Chitauri! The savage alien fleet has nearly reached Earth space, and it's up to Carol Danvers to stop it. But taking on an entire armada is a tall order even for our mighty hero and the crew of the Alpha Flight Space Station. Can Carol find a way to inspire her ranks - including her battalion of young cadets - to rise to the challenge? As Alpha Flight puts its plan into action, an enemy from Carol's past rears its head, threatening to ruin everything! Stretched thin battling a horde of Chitauri, keeping Alpha Flight afloat and fighting off a raging monster inside her, will Captain Marvel ever get a little time to unwind? Not when Earth's fate rests in the hands of a few cadets.
The volume was ok, you can skip it if not reading Secret Empire event. It wasn't a bad read but it was just tied into the mess that is Secret Empire.
I like seeing Carol try and find her way, but she has a tendency to take all the blame on herself when things go wrong. I liked the ending, we don't get to see Carol have a girls night often, but the only bizarre part to me is the Jessica Jones joke about how she's not a good babysitter, when she has a kid.
At the end Carol goes off to find her place again, which sounds like she's headed back into space. I can't wait to see how new direction, but at the same time, I can't of liked seeing her in charge at the space station. There were a few side characters that I liked seeing.
I just want Carol to find her place in the universe and learn to realize that not everything that goes wrong is her fault.
I am excited to go read the next series of books on Captain Marvel and leave this whole Secret Empire mess behind.
