Gather around, Carol Yea Forumsrps... We're back on track after War of the Realms, with what seems to be a great arc ahead of us.
Also, please stick around later, we're storytiming Monica Rambeau's classic origins afterwards.
Captain Marvel #8
Parker Bell
Tyler Martin
Don't touch me or my newspaper, bitch. That's assault.
Jordan Morris
Matthew Torres
The temptation hits again... Will cave in, or will she resist it?
Liam Russell
"Months ago" from their perspective inside the bubble, unless they did a timeskip after War of the Realms... Yeah, maybe that's it.
Grayson Taylor
Brayden Bennett
If it weren't for the blood, that one panel would look great for clipping. Maybe I could do some magic with it later.
Kayden Rogers
Hazmat got a proper suit this time, more... Ergonomic.
Didn't mean to spoiler this one.
Jordan Cox
And there you have her, folks. Say hello to our new heroine.
Leo Richardson
Anthony Ramirez
Nice panel composition.
Jace Edwards
Jordan Carter
Brandon Phillips
Now kiss.
Kayden Young
And you'll never guess what's inside the ship.
Camden Allen
Oh yeah, an official introduction is in order. Logo and everything!
Jeremiah Butler
And here come the insidious media giving their fake news and confusing the population. Sad!
Owen Parker
So that's what the letter was about. Damn rough.
David Jackson
Looks like like hero-sized intervention to me, but I'm not gonna split hairs over it.
Camden Kelly
Here's one for the She-Hulk fans out there, I know you're watching.
Chase Jackson
Now this is how you draw her big.
David Peterson
Sebastian Edwards
Well, fuck... Somebody crashed the intervention, and again, you're not gonna guess who.
Charles Torres
>Dr. Eve vs. Dr. Minerva
YES
Easton Cook
Pretty damn sure the guy with the girl dressed as Kamala is Jim Starlin.
>sees book he's hold
AH YES, it's him. didn't expect him here.
Thomas Williams
A little Absolute Carnage tie-in...
And we're done here. Now this was a jam-packed issue, hinting at cool stuff to come. Very nice one, hope you enjoyed.
Stick around, we'll be right back with Monica.
Juan Gonzalez
Hmmm... Just noticed... Is Chewie dead?
Joseph Wilson
You know what? I'm looking forward to this arc...
It's shaping up to be a clever commentary on all the shitfits over the movie. Just surprised they didn't go all the way and make Star an Alita analogue
Landon Allen
>having to blur out the DC stuff in the Amanda Connor photo
Heh
>CarnageChewie
jesus christ how horrifying
Zachary Martinez
Did she realize she was four costumes behind Carol and decided to update her look?
Isaiah Smith
>help me save a people who truly need you
It would be pretty cool if this ties into current internal wars with the kree. But's probably just going to be that Mnerva created Star and Carols disease to make her more willing to abandon earth.
Ayden Lee
Kree Empress Carol still a possibility
Meme magic just working on a delay
Joshua Ortiz
The silver star from the movie worked better
Blake Brown
>It would be pretty cool if this ties into current internal wars with the kree
This is a strong possibility, actually. I think Star was created by Dr. Eve instead, and her sickness may factor into all of this for that reason.
Then again, that silhouette...
Austin Allen
I'm a fan of the old she hulk, this banner version is bad no matter how you draw her.
Needs her old personality back.
Robert Butler
Hello, Amalgam Captain Marvel/Moonstone
Noah Turner
SUDDENLY STOKOE
Anthony Brooks
So Carol is another target for Carnage?
I don't really know about carnage, but aren't he's just some street level serials killer? can he really be able to fight against cosmic level captain marvel.
Henry Brown
Probably just Chewie. She doesn't have any tie-ins that I recall, so whatever happens with this it'll be handled on the sidelines.
Also Carnage right now has some evil cosmic shenanigans going on so it'd be more on her ballpark now.
Jayden Bailey
Why is she interrupting someone trying to drink his coffee and reading news.
Eli Nelson
Why do they hate Jessica's mask? They didn't even bother with the half-assed glasses this time.
Ethan Miller
It's a stupid costume. She's going back to her classic suit soon anyhow.
Grayson Collins
my LCS sold out of this issue. I’m so sad too because this might actually turn into a pretty decent arc. Fuck resellers.
Ayden Hall
It's really telling that all of you are so hype for this story now that Carol finally isn't getting wanked by her own universe. The writing is still bad but at least she isn't a Mary sue anymore.
Julian Ortiz
Let me guess, first appearance of Star?
Also I just realized the Monica Rambeau collection is almost 300 pages long, so I might have to post the first part here, then the next one in another thread. For now I'll post some of the first issues and if there's enough interest, I'll post the rest.
Ian Williams
>They don't deserve you
Ugh
Gavin Williams
Since Hazmat lost control of her powers again and has to wear a suit; I have been wondering if it's even safe for her you use her powers around regular people? She is just walking through a crowd with radiation balls on her hands.
David Watson
>both Carol and Tony are being edgy alcoholics in their ongoings again
What's the deal?
William Reed
Whoops, had to take a break, but I'm back.
>She is just walking through a crowd with radiation balls on her hands.
I'm guessing that's why she warns people to get the hell out of the way.
Jaxson Richardson
Gabriel Walker
Here we have her... First appearance of Monica Rambeau in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16, written by Roger Stern. Kinda how Carol's new outfit was introduced in Avenging Spider-Man #9.
Gavin Green
Henry Evans
Spidey's got the fever.
Henry Jenkins
Drat!
Wyatt Rodriguez
Back then, there were no tasers nor mace, so women had to learn martial arts to defend themselves.
William Price
I'm all for it. It's a travesty that I'm not more familiar with Monica's early years.
Grayson Long
Romita Spidey is *chef kiss*
Oliver Long
>So Carol is another target for Carnage?
Yeah, for a while. All former Venom hosts.
I'd post the page but storytime.
Chase Young
Now peep this transformation sequence...
It is a recommended reading. I don't think most people realize she had a life before Nextwave and not at all empty boasting.
Zachary Morris
She was never one, casualgater.
Bentley Murphy
>"at least it has a pocket for me to stash my cash and keys"
I suspect this was a statement by itself, also back in the day.
Noah Thomas
And there it is, first full look in her costume...
Eli Harris
But first, let's see how she came to be, back in 'Nawlins.
Eli Scott
Alexander Wood
"Ernesto Ramírez, the South American dictator", hahaha... Oh, gringos.
Liam Harris
If you want some variations on a theme, here's a coffee Monica for your collections.
And as usual, Roxxon is in the business of evil high energy plots.
Also
>Guarina Petrochemicals Ltd
I think Stern was inspired by Friedkin's Sorcerer... I don't have proof but it seems suspicious, what with the whole dictator thing as well.
Dylan Cox
Caramba indeed, fellow soldiers.
Thomas Campbell
I don't know who's more scared, him or her...
Jonathan Powell
Nathan Bennett
And this is how it began... She probably "died" in that explosion and became the energy being she is now.
Luke Gray
Andrew Clark
>you can see her thong in there
Devilish Romita. Also, this is why her original costume was so funky.
Gabriel Cox
Luke Evans
Bit of Mar-Vell vs. Yon-Rogg echoes in here.
Blake Long
Gavin Butler
>"Capitan Est Maravilla!"
Okay, clearly Stern didn't know enough Spanish to make this work since that's an awkward mix of French, but here's the origin of the name. Not really related to the original Mar-Vell, but rather its own thing.
Dominic Phillips
Xavier Sanchez
Chase Cruz
Leo Peterson
Tyler Phillips
I bet this kid already knew he was Spidey, but wanted him to do parlor tricks.
>"a creation of the Eastern establishment!"
Damn Commies!
Jack White
This collection have the Spotlight issue with Carol flipping out on her for it?
Brody Gray
Yep, she had no idea about the original... So no legacy here, folks!
Michael Ross
BTW, after this first issue I'm taking a break to storytime Secret Warps: Ghost Panther Annual, which I was waiting for... Then we'll come back for some more of Monica's story.
Carson Nelson
Asher Perez
John Morales
Josiah Baker
Sorry, didn't see the post! But no, it's not included.
Luis Edwards
Jacob Roberts
Isaac Campbell
Spotted She-Hulk in her Savage outfit.
Jack Edwards
And that was it! Since this is after all a Spider-Man Annual, it ends with Peter meeting his ol' pal Harry, who definitely has no shady business going on.
Ryan Sullivan
Time for CAPTAIN PEACE
Oliver Davis
That's right! Secret Warps: Ghost Panther Annual storytime here:
William Reyes
Yeah, the last one bored me but this seems kind of interesting.
Evan Bell
Carol calls her Goose now.
Nathan Diaz
Puh-leeeze!
I've seen more serious nosebleeds in manga where someone spots a girl in her undies.
Daniel Thomas
After being reminded of BvS already with the whole divided public/random heroics spread, I read it in Diane Lane's voice. Not that I mind.
Josiah Nelson
Yep. Star. At least I can just read it here, so not having it in my book pickup isn’t too bad I guess
Sebastian Roberts
All the Billy easter eggs in Infinity Countdown were just foreshadowing.
Brayden Reed
>I have never shared my living space with a cat
>nor a woman
You sweet summer child.
Matthew Diaz
I am fine with more bulkier She-Hulk. She just needs to stop talking like Hulk.
Tyler Cruz
No...
NOW kiss
David Nelson
...
Ethan Ward
Oh yeah, this is coming! Had to run some errands, but I'll be back in a bit with her second appearance.
Ethan Reed
Moving on, here's Monica's second appearance in any comic, Avengers #227, where she's tested to her limits and we learn more about her powers.
Noah Martinez
Dylan Davis
Ian Evans
Janet is the first Avenger to formally welcome Monica into their ranks.
Remember when you had to sign a form to become a member of the team? There were also credentials and all.
Ian Brooks
Angel Baker
Carol threatened to tear someone's arm off for trying to fingerprint her.
Brody Nguyen
Back then, Tony still had Iron Man as his secret identity, and drama ensued because he was dating Janet after her divorce! A proper soap opera.
Jaxon Price
And here's where Monica formally learns about the guy whose name she's using now.
Ryder Campbell
Mason Bennett
Jonathan Baker
Janet is a strong, powerful woman who needs no man.
Brandon Gray
The disgraced, wifebeater Hank Pym!
Christopher Price
Dominic Smith
Camden Lopez
This I didn't know: the huge age gap between Hank and Janet. Yikes!
Jaxon Rivera
Camden Morris
This is as much as a Monica Rambeau origin story as a Hank Pym exposé.
Charles Roberts
Josiah Reyes
In which Hank went bananas.
Logan Bennett
Adrian Gonzalez
Only every other storyline for the past 50 years
Nathaniel Hill
My man, you might be misunderstood, but most of these incidents were of your own making, just telling it like it is.
Brandon Cook
Elijah Cooper
Funny you left out The Slap from your confession, Hank... But that's OK, it's a minor incident compared to pretty much else.
Isaac Torres
Oh no, a setup!
John Price
But that's enough of Pym's trials and tribulations... Her next appearance won't be in Avengers, but in Marvel Team-Up, featuring Spider-Man in his black outfit.
Jose Nguyen
Jose Martin
Cooper Cook
Ayden White
Isaac Peterson
Hudson Green
Cooper Perry
Bentley Perez
Andrew Miller
Gabriel Young
Elijah Thomas
Jess & Jess looking like twins still.
Blake Rivera
Isaiah Hill
Joseph Green
Oh yeah, remember when Starfox was an Avenger?
Cameron Collins
Levi Clark
Aaron Perez
Andrew Hill
Christian Sanders
Camden Thompson
Liam Wright
Wyatt Butler
Owen Bell
And that's it! Monica's stuck in her light form, unable to change back. What's gonna happen? We'll see in a bit...
William Wright
Marvel Team-Up, this time: Spider-Man and Starfox, feat. Monica.
Cooper James
Wyatt Cook
This issue is a bit of a bait and switch, since she's only around at the beginning and the end... But it's still about her, so it's included.
Adam Garcia
Honestly I think they basically got this costume in one. I wouldnt hate if she was wearing a slight update of it today with the wings and boots and all.
William Ortiz
Oliver Jackson
Camden Davis
Nathaniel Thompson
Time for a bizarre adventure in a far away place.
Charles Wilson
Carson Green
Introducing the Elysian, a dystopian amazon clan!
Julian Lewis
Blake Butler
Minn-erva is definitely Star, right?
Asher Brown
Petey already getting too familiar with the loli... Wait until MJ finds out.
Jayden Walker
Carson Garcia
Did the picaro guy get powers?
Asher Allen
Jace Brooks
Anthony Ross
Gavin Lewis
Eli Rivera
Austin Wilson
Gabriel Hughes
Jacob Price
Eli Butler
Evan Hill
>"I brought you something you can hit"
Tho Carol-Goku memes are becoming a reality
Jackson Russell
>Say "so long" to Tambi for me, okay?"
Yikes my dude
Ryder Howard
Destroying the machine did the trick, and Captain Marvel is now in physical form again. Well then! She was barely in this issue, but at least her problems were fixed.
Gonna take a break for a quick shower and I'll be back for a very good issue... In which the Avengers decide who's going to lead them! (also, one of the coolest lineups to date)
Kevin Rogers
Heroism, how does it work?
Carol is going to need to take a class in Heroism 101, the writer may need one too depending on how this plays out
Eli Cox
James Stokoe wasted on this. Why? Does he not sell?
Leo Lewis
Please be a villaness
Benjamin Fisher
1st appearance of star but lowkey shes actually Ripley Ryan.
Liam Lewis
And I'm back. This might be the last issue I'll upload for now since I got things to do, but maybe later I'll continue in another thread, I'm not sure there's enough pictures left in the count anyway.
But it's good, since this one is a hallmark.
Jace Diaz
Aaron Jones
In which cops have a semblance of competence.
Adam Russell
Noah Torres
Hah, nice trick for someone who can manipulate radiowaves.
Henry Rivera
Black Knight and Druid have been effectively MIA for a good while.
David Foster
Brandon Campbell
Time to hit the beach... Also an excuse to have She-Hulk in a bathing suit.
Adam Carter
Hunter Butler
This beach day issue is already better than Aaron's Avengers #21, for sure.
Ryan Martin
Perfect face in the bottom left panel.
Isaiah Rodriguez
Moonstone! What's she up to these days, aside from being used as a punching bag in Life of Captain Marvel?
Juan Gray
Easton Murphy
Betraying humanity in War of the Realms
Luke Ward
Time to reminisce...
Dominic Barnes
They'll never let her redeem herself, will they?
Christian Cooper
Bentley Reed
Jackson Russell
Ian Baker
I'm surprised she doesn't just fly all of them away from there.
Connor Thompson
Caleb Phillips
Thomas Foster
See? Weird. She could've flown.
Anyway, this little act of heroism made her reconsider, and from that moment she became leader of the Avengers.... And don't you forget it, punk!
Hunter Taylor
Oh no, somebody snatched Hercules for Greek comatose sex!
But that's it for now.
Zachary James
Samuel Rogers
Jaxon Morgan
Based Carol putting that nuisance in his place.
Easton White
Christian Scott
Now that we've seen the whole thing, the cape is pretty close but otherwise not really.
Aaron Ortiz
This is retarded. There are PLENTY of more organic reasons for Marvel civvies to hate Carol than just Kree blood. It absolves Carol of any and all blame (when she has done plenty of shit to earn the ire of the people like her actions in Civil War II) and instead puts it all on 'durhur being racist is bad'. Carol has no reason to reflect on her actions or any growth to go through here because she's done literally nothing wrong, all there is to do is throw herself a pity party with all her C-tier gal pals and assure her she's still a strong independent woman no matter what the meanie bigots say.
Leo Moore
OBSESSED
Michael Bell
>Carol has no reason to reflect on her actions or any growth to go through here because she's done literally nothing wrong
Huh funny that, it reminds me of a certain obsession people had with a movie and an actress' opinions that turned out to be very inoffensive, and not at all what all the angry youtubers were claiming they were.
Oliver Kelly
Good tomato-splat continuity.
Jayden Collins
>send her home
>so she goes home
poor carol.
Hudson Green
Thanks for fucking that guy's paper up you fascist.
Connor Adams
Some of the dullest damn thought bubbles I've read in I don't know how long.
Evan Rogers
What is a member of the 616 public doing on Yea Forums?
Is this hypercrisis?
Adrian Barnes
>Cam you even be a hero with the whole world against you?
What kind of question is that? Didn't you used to live with the X-MEN? The most hated heroes of all?
Remember when the Scarlet Witch and the Wasp were considered to be part of Carol's circle of friends?
Benjamin Robinson
I thought we had all chosen to ignore that.
David Butler
Minerva helped the Supreme Intelligence set up the Evolution Nega-Bombs that genocided billions of Kree for the sake of "evolution". So even if she wants to protect her people, you should still never ever trust her.
Also, I wonder how long it'll be before Yon-Rogg shows up again too.
Zachary Anderson
>Scarlet Witch
Sure, before Disassembled
>the Wasp
No
Jordan Sanders
>consensual handshake
Luis Torres
>genociding an evil space empire
So they'll be best friends then.
Ayden Parker
>the brought back Minn-Erva
Oh coo-
>they SJW'ed her up
Oh thanks Marvel, I guess not even villains are allowed to be "sexy" these days.
Ian Campbell
>wearing pants = sjw
Hm, okay?
Charles Harris
Terrible.
Lucas Gonzalez
Nah it's actually pretty good, one of the best issues of the series right now and one of the best in the last couple years. Stay mad.
Austin Adams
I definitely like this compared to past series because they seem to be going for a more fallible, human Carol again.
Nolan Brooks
Why are they getting pissed that she's half-kree now being she been known half-kree since the mar-vell shit? such a damn stupid retcon with the mom.
Leo Thomas
you are going to hard. go easy on the trolling
Owen Torres
I say he's not going hard enough
Adam Scott
No retard, they synergized her with her MCU counterpart.
Charles Perez
You think that idiot has even read classic Captain Marvel?
Camden Lopez
holy fuck that chick is buff. could she take on savage she-hulk in hand-to-hand?
Gabriel Reed
loved this issue, close to the best one KT did (I still prefer the fight/team up with Rogue slightly more)
Cameron Thompson
>KKK
Subtle
Carson Clark
I can't deal with Swashbuckler boots
For her, not too keen on the mask either. Wings are cool, but would like it all to be one piece instead of leotard + tights
Btw, I still have this comic. Got it when it came out, luckily didn't crayon it to death
Leo Davis
>Marvel citizens are racists
huh, who would have though
>Carol has no reason to reflect on her actions or any growth to go through here because she's done literally nothing wrong
you obviously haven't read any of her comics.
Isaiah Morris
the mask sucks
nice page
Jose Taylor
I am ok with this She-Hulk, still prefer her smart as hulk and talking but this is at least toned down and not totally cringy. and she is sexy
Caleb Cook
NO CAROL!!!! You are a fucking mess if you are trusting her I love it
Easton Evans
CUUUTE
>Surprise Stokoe
holy shit!
Jeremiah Scott
Second printing is already going out, so you can still get one
Hunter Walker
I hope they both go to each other asking for help and then just laugh about how they are both utter messes of people.
Angel Nguyen
to be fair Janet has been the best Avengers leader out of all of them.
that was nothing at the time this comic was being made.
Jesus, he doesn't even remember marrying her?
God...I love Hank so much, fav Marvel character. He's just always his own worst villain
Juan White
>Janet and Stark
DAMN IT, NO! Pymtron is going to be so mad
Colton Martin
He mentioned the slap on the page before...he put all his cards on the table.
William Young
>This beach day issue is already better than Aaron's Avengers #21, for sure.
nearly everything is better than that issue
Kevin Edwards
actually, one of the Giant-Men (forget which) talked her down and she gave up willingly.
Robert Evans
Caleb Wilson
>Carnero Jess
Aiden Lewis
Eh. It wasn't THAT bad of an age gap and he's not even the one that pursued the relationship.
Kevin Hernandez
Star is the real Carol Danvers and "Captain" is a manchurian agent there to be the target of an anti-kree hate campaign that'll be used to justify the kree imperium attacking Earth to protect "one of their own" in double-mobius falseflag
Ayden Hughes
Kree Alex Jones is that you?
Brandon Parker
every major character in the industry goes through ebbs and flows of writers who want the character to move past their darkest hour, and writers who feel that was too integral to their character to ever get rid of.
Henry Walker
Aiden Ward
I wonder if Minn-Erva has upgraded herself again.
Blake Foster
I wonder if she'll upgrade Carol.
