Captain Marvel by Alyssa Wong Vol. 2: The Undone (CAPTAIN MARVEL, #2)

Summary:

The Undone are on the hunt - and they want Captain Marvel. But how, and more importantly - why? Unfortunately, they’re not willing to play fair and have happily brought many civilians into the mix.

One such civilian is Yuna Yang, a thief by blood and trade. Her intelligence has kept her alive this long, but she’ll need more than that to survive the Undone. She’ll need the help of a hero - and a few friends.

Writing:

I have a lot of complicated feelings about Captain Marvel Vol. 2. I didn't hate it, but I also feel like I could have loved it more. This is a strange place for me to be in, as I'm pretty much a huge Captain Marvel fangirl.

This volume's character development is on point, especially for newer characters like Yuna. She got her moments to learn and grow, as did her romantic counterpart. I also enjoyed all the cameos, which included the Marvel family.

The final battle was overall pretty solid, giving moments to each of the main characters involved (especially Carol and Yuna). As with any good Captain Marvel fight, they walked away having learned something important about themselves. So I love that bit.

There were so many characters brought into the fold for the conclusion of this tale, and I feel like they didn't get enough screen time to warrant it. For example, Phyla is a great character, and I would have loved to see her get another moment or two. Maybe I'm being nit-picky. The same goes for the conclusion of Yuna's arc. Her story will always feel incomplete if we don't see her again after this. So, I guess I'll have to hope we'll see her again!

Art:

The artwork in Captain Marvel Vol. 2 was perfection. The colors were vibrant and fun—as were the battles! A few major moments steal the show in this volume, and the artwork does it justice. Given everything going on, I imagine it was hard to get the scale right for that final battle, so I have to give some credit.

Fans of Captain Marvel will know what I mean when I say that the artwork in Captain Marvel Vol. 2 fits her style.
