The heroes of several alternate universes failed to save the multiverse. As a result, Doctor Doom recreated the Beyonder’s Battleworld in an effort to save himself. It doesn't hurt the he's also set himself up as GOD with his own set of minions and made a decree that to question his authority is an act of blasphemy.
In this supplement to 2015’s Secret Wars, Captain Marvel has been made the leader of the Carol Corps, an elite team of female fighter pilots who defend Doom's main territory of Hala Field from neighboring Hydra forces. When a near invasion is repelled with the help of the Thor Corps, a sort of Asgardian-powered special forces, Carol learns that one of the Thors’ hammer was forged from a fallen star. Only under Doom's doctrine, there's supposed to exist nothing past the atmospheric barrier erected around the Battleworld. This revelation will put the Carol Corps on a collision course with the wraith of Doom as more events uncover a conspiracy that could shatter the façade of paradise crafted by Doom himself.
Carol Corps was a pleasure to read. It's my first official foray into the most recent Secret Wars. You don't have to read that series to enjoy this mini- but it helps! I have a lot of questions like why would Doom create a territory for himself so close to enemy forces?
The important thing I took from this book was that A) Secret Wars is enjoyable and B) thanks to reading lists at the beginning and end of this book, I now know everything I need to read and collect for the entire storyline. In other words, Secret Wars is going on my wish list.
A marvelous effort by Captain Marvel regular series writer Kelly Sue DeConnick with help by Kelly Thompson(Heart in a Box) and as always, more dynamic art by Capt. artist, David Lopez!
Worth Consuming
