REVIEW: Captain Marvel - 5 of 5

Some big questions asked throughout this mini-series. And some pretty big answers given in this issue…
***SPOILER ALERT***
Well - as it turns out, Mar-vell appears to have been a Skrull all along. But - not quite the kind of Skrull we were expecting. When Skrull Mar-vell was mind-wiped, things went a bit wrong. He didn’t keep his underlying Skrull persona - he became Mar-vell through and through.
So, because of this, now we have a Skrull on earth - who looks like he might be able to turn the tide in the Secret Invasion…
Throughout the series, the artwork in these books has been fantastic, as has the writing. This issue however, was lacking a little something.
The issue does give closure to the mini-series, while creating a nice entry to Secret Invasion - so it isn’t lacking in the story department from Brian Reed.
Lee Weeks’ artwork in the book was as crisp and clean as in previous issues - so it’s nothing to do with the pencils. It’s also nothing to do with the inks from Jesse Delperdang, or the colours from Matt Milla.
And the mix between the story and art works well - so it isn’t the fusion (or lack of) between artist and writer.
To be honest - I can’t really place my finger on exactly what it is about this issue. It just… Doesn’t feel like it should have ended this way.
Although, having said that - I am extremely glad it didn’t end with the real Captain Marvel returning from the dead.
Pete’s Score: 3 out of 5
(a good ending to the mini-series, but it won’t set you alight with awe and wonder)
