MARVEL ACTION: CAPTAIN MARVEL #1, available Wednesday March 3 from IDW, is about to bring two iconic heroes together for a highly unique tale. It’s a tale that brings in concerns of the modern age. Namely, social media.

Is it true? Is Captain Marvel really getting another Marvel Action series? Well, yes! She is. Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1 kicks off an all-new series, featuring a beloved heroine, her stubborn flerken, and all of her allies.

Given that this is Marvel Action we’re talking about, we already know that this series is going to be both light and approachable. It’s perfect for all ages, but especially for those readers out there that could use a bit of a break from all the doom and gloom.

And you just know that this issue is going to be full of humor. How could it not be, when the core concept revolves around Captain Marvel, queen workaholic, trying to take a vacation? A vacation ordered by her best friend, mind you.

I haven't read comic books in years, but I suddenly had a hankering to pick one up. Love all the female heroes in this one. Just a getting-to-know-you story, but enough that I bought the next four in the series.

This was fun and cute with some great characters and easter eggs, altough I didn’t see much of a plot unfolding there. I’m curious what next issues will bring.

Cute artwork, seemed like it was geared towards kids. The mentor plot was pretty interesting.

Decent art, but not the characterizations I'm used to. Felt a bit like it was talking down to... everyone.

I loved this comic. I thought it was cute how Maggs turned TikTok into ClikClock. Can't wait to read the next one.
