Probably took me 25-30 minutes to read this book last night. Feels like some of the other stuff I buy only takes 10-15, and for the most part I'm pretty selective. In my book that makes it worth the 2.99.

This book continues to impress me tremendously. My only complaint about this issue is that it might be hard for a new reader to pick up and understand the deal with the Track Suit Draculas, only because they're an absurd adversary and there's no real mention of why they hate Clint.

Also, in the scene where he gets in the car half-naked with Kate, I couldn't tell if she was making the abs comment because she has a crush on him or because it's obvious he just had sex with someone and she's annoyed at him for being such a slut. Anyone know?

I love this title. I'll admit to getting #1 on a whim, but it's continued to impress with each issue.

Trade-waiting, wish I jumped onto this before hand.

I wouldn't be too down on it actually. I said as much in my review here, the first two books weren't as balanced as this issue (which I agree is a 5 star issue) and the trade will most likely pull things together nicely.

Yeah, I remember when this came out, it was around the time I got my first ever US marvel comic (If you know what i mean, the first series I followed in real-time) and it was captain marvel, both these titles are earning rave reviews from IGN.

I enjoyed Captain Marvel #1 a lot. I wasn't a fan of the subsequent issues. Didn't pick up the new issue this week either. I'll pick it back up next month. I'm not sure if we should trust IGN on their reviews of Captain Marvel since they're also interviewing the writer and having her do a commentary on the issues. It's probably fair and balanced but they've been a little too ecstatic with the series I think.

Meh, I see why! Its been amazing, you know what surprised me though? When I saw Hawkeye was only a 2.99 issue.

Hawkeye and Daredevil are bargain basement prices! I mean...considering the flagship books are commanding $3.99 for the same amount of pages. It must be because they aren't necessarily as popular as the Wolverine/Spider-Man stuff.

Is Captain Marvel $3.99?

Nope, 'Capn's a 2.99 title, i pay £2.25 here in the UK, It sickens me about the prices of flagship.

I LOVE this book. It's the complete package. Awesome characters, great story, fun dialoge, beautiful art, and abound with creativity. Wooo! Can't see where it goes next.

Ps. Is it terrible that because of their fun banter I'm rooting for a Clint/Kate relationship? She's 18/19 right? lol :-/

If they want to charge us 4 bucks at least give us back 6 to 10 pages. I've been reading and reviewing 20 books a week since December it's killing the stories in 50% of them. It's like the 20 page comic is an extension of promoting collected editions. The single issue suffers, but the collected edition still reads well.

Very true my friend, very true. Its great to see that we can discuss two different comics without arguing + Am I right in thinking that Deconnick and Fraction are married?

Agreed and you are correct!

I wonder how long Aja needs to complete a single issue. I would read any book he draws. The composition on the page is inspiring and I'm not even an artist.
