[MrPsyguy]

AMAZING!

I LOVE Ms Marvel and i really hope that something really great happens to my Carol Danvers!

It's said she's gonna achieve her full time dream of being the best of the best super hero!! Can't wait! It's not easy and - not for anyone - the responsability to carry "Marvel" in your codename.

I can't wait for this series I've been following Carol an this title since House of M, and she really has just become one of my favorite characters and really my favorite title at Marvel right now.

I hate that this title is ending and I hope that Carol doesn't fade into obscurity again. Having her as a side character in New Avengers with just a couple of lines, if that, isn't much for me. I just know I'm going to miss this title soo much. It's the the first one I started collecting that wasn't X-men and the first series I had a #1 issue of, that's special to me at least.

I'm glad the long questions with Mystique may be answered.

They need to restart the series just like with Moon Knight. Of course with a different more able writer.

I won't be getting this arc, which is a shame. For a final arc it seems almost nonsensical particularly the whole Mystique is Ms. Marvels Norman Osborn bit from issue 47.

Yes, Mystique was the reason behind the whole Rogue stealing Carol's powers story all that time ago but it seems so trivial to bring it up, let alone as the big character for this final arc. If I hear good things it's possible I'll get the last story in trade but really? Why Mystique and why now? Especially if Mystique is SUPPOSED to be rather busy with the Dark X-Men at the moment.

[Rogue151]

I think there's a lot of unresolved issues with Mystique and Ms. Marvel. I mean Mystique did kill Ms. Marvel's boyfriend Dr. Michael Barnett while in the form of Carol, for some reason Mystique hates her guts and it'd be interesting to know why.

If it was just so Rogue wouldn't have to fight her, then why take such personal trauma instead of just killing her outright to prevent Rogue from fighting her?

I believe, Mystique, may have been many of the characters in Carol's life like her agent, or Agent Sum.

[MrPsyguy]

Man that's a really good point! She could have been many people!

[Squall]

Fifty issues is quite an impressive run in the current market so I hope they have something planned for the character beyond this.

[MrPsyguy]

They definetly do, i bet! Specially after all Carol's gone through to prove herself to everyone that she could be the best among them. And due to the position she is now, after all these 50 issues.

[Rogue151]

I believe, Mystique, may have been many of the characters in Carol's life like her agent, or Agent Sum.

I always thought Mystique was William Wagner for the longest, just cause of the name. (Wagner Kurt's last name and one Mystique could have come up with I think.)

I hope questions about William being Kree has time to be addressed...

Rogue151 I like your avatar. Is that Ms. Marvel and muffins?
