This volume is a continuation of Deconnick’s run on Captain Marvel. If you have enjoyed her work on the series so far, you’ll enjoy this volume as well; for me, it ranks as slightly better than Vol. 2, but not quite as good as Vol. 1. If you haven’t read Vol. 1 or 2 yet, Vol. 3 is NOT a good starting place, and I recommend you purchase the other two first.

The issues included are #12-15. #12-13 wrap up the storyline from the previous volume in a satisfying way, although I would have liked to see Rocket return, if only briefly. Issue #14 is a part of a larger ‘Black Vortex’ event and although it *can* stand on its own somewhat, is more confusing than it ought to be and really should just be included in a TPB for that event, rather than included here. Issue #15 sees Carol Danvers return from deep space to Earth in a rather emotional spiritual end to Deconnick’s multi-year run on Captain Marvel (although Deconnick also wrote the’ Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps’ Secret Wars tie-in, it seems this is the true end to her time with the character).

As always, Deconnick’s writing is witty and enjoyable. The art, especially the colours, complement the feel of the book – bright, exciting and fun. Although neither Deconnick nor Lopez are groundbreaking, Captain Marvel remains one of the most fun books around.

Does not measure up to the previous two books in the series (which are both awesome). The first few issues collected here tie up some plot threads from earlier, but in a story that’s fairly silly, and which stretches the fantastical sci-fi elements past the breaking point. The next issue ties into a totally unrelated storyline (running through a different series?); it’s jarring, and not particularly great.

Even David Lopez’s excellent artwork is marred by the addition of a "Color Artist," whose dark tones don’t seem appropriate to Lopez’s style.

Loved the stories. Kelly Sue did an awesome job, and ended with a memorable "farewell", even if it was a bit sad- it had a good ending. Art was on point.
