Just keep throwing shit at the wall until something becomes popular.
David Cruz
Are you actually reading Green Lantern?
Brody Gutierrez
Didn't they already do this storyline with the evil Warbird that went killing Rogues in different dimensions?
The only way it can be interesting is if this is a Carol that embraced her ruthless Kree side and took over the Kree Empire and she's trying to fuck the regular 616 universe for X reason.
Robert Gomez
>Just keep throwing shit at the wall until something becomes popular. Congrats you figured out nu-Marvel’s policy for comics.
Chase Watson
I like space cops and multiverse stuff.
Jose Murphy
OP here, kinda looks like a symbiote. Especially the weird piping running down her legs.
Alexander Lee
>We Sentry now!
God, they are really trying with Carol, first Claremont in the 80's with the wannabe Phoenix called Binary, then Stohl or whatever her name was with the Superman/Aquaman origin, now this.
Anthony Ramirez
I mean what issue are you on
Luis Kelly
>Carol showing her true colors Finally.
Also when do the Marvel november solicits drop?
Brayden Nguyen
That helmet is straight up power rangers shit. It's great
Leo Hughes
I would really hope it wasn't, I'm tired of the symbiote stuff. According to Newsarama, this week.
I guess I'm just gonna have to be the first to say it: I wanna fuck Dark Captain Marvel.
Parker Johnson
Latest one with the Multiversal teamup
Christian Bennett
This could be it
Grayson Ross
I know it's just a cover but
>Carol >Beating Thor >Carol >Beating Wanda
My powerlevel faggotry cannot stand that.
Parker Perez
>what happens when Carol Danvers takes a bad turn and goes head to head with her former Avengers teammates. We already saw that, it was called Civil War 2.
That's not an achievement, but it really is better.
Lincoln Roberts
time to push moonstone instead of carol. moonstone is the captain marvel that we deserve.
They finally remembered Carol and Wanda are friends and spidey is spidey
Samuel Cruz
>evil character gets an evil clone What?
Adam Phillips
Carol beating Thor would need some serious explanation, but she's strong enough to one-shot Wanda, Steve and T'Challa if she can land a hit on them. What's worse is Waid's Doctor Strange finally put Wanda back in her old costume, and that cover shows it didn't stick, the All-New All-Different Marvel costume is back again.
Levi King
>They finally remembered Carol and Wanda are friends What are you talking about? Everyone knows that Spider-Woman is Carol's only friend.
Alexander Roberts
>Daring >turning the character evil and putting some sort of "bad" word in front of their name Jesus fucking christ
Nathan Powell
What if it's Cancerverse Carol?
Carter Morales
Death of the Inhumans needs to be forgotten as the shitty story it was and never be referenced again. I don't think anyone is remotely considering that she might be getting a power-up that also justifies her clothing. She's looking a lot like Magus in here too , so perhaps it's a version of her from an alternate future.
All we learned about her is that she tried to steal all of the world's gold.
Kayden Campbell
>The Kree will be the new "Big Bad" for one of Marvel's future events. >With Vox as Mascot and Carol as there Queen The Kree really are back in full force.
Who fucking cares? It won't be an interesting story, it won't last more than a few issues and the resolution (such as it will be) will be anticlimactic and forgotten by the next person to write the character as well as never showing up outside of this book.
Josiah Morales
Carol is Yea Forums's favorite character and her current run is universally praised here, so we care
You know, it seems really obvious that they're basically going to Electric Superman her splitting her into good (Star) and evil (this shit) versions or some shit. That'll be the big revelation of the arc.
Mason Perry
Yeah, with ya on that. Don't know why but it's the full cover helmet that gets me.
I know we all want to jump on how gimmicky this is because Carol can't fucking sell her books, but consider this; What if in all unlikely scenarios this actually stays? We keep saying Carol is a shitty person and hero, so why not embrace murder Carol x100?
I'm finding it hard to believe that star hasn't been evil from the start
Asher Lee
You know as well as I do that forcing comic stores to buy captain marvel then "selling them out" all 200 copies does not count.
The character is hated in comics and in the mainstream and the only reason she is still pushed so heavily is because she's a blonde haired blue eyed white chick and they have a creepy as fuck narrative to push plus a boner for making "aryan" chicks do stupid odd shit.
>that Captain Marvel/Shazam half-cape/colour scheme Good shit
Bentley Fisher
Sorry dude this is the best you are going to get. After Jason Aaron's Thor run and him licking Jane Foster's peehole so hard you can hear it though the pages. I'll take it.
Shouldn't you normally do the evil turn thing with a character people actually like? It kind of loses its impact if everyone already considered her a bad character to begin with.
>Not wearing an evil version of your costume when you are evil
Carter Mitchell
It is a star, not an X. Completely different.
Daniel Campbell
...I actually like it. It's edgy as hell but it manages to have style. If only it weren't wasted on Carol.
Brandon Rodriguez
>I wonder who came up with the trope that the hero must wear an "evil" version of their outfit when they become evil. Wrestling promoters No, really Heels and faces get different colors
Luke Reyes
I'm down for this, I've liked her run so far but I want her to take more chances with the character and I'm down for her becoming some sort of space warlord. Love this helmet too
>It even has the Blackstar symbol Just fucking wow.
Brody King
>It even has the emblem Carol's been wearing for 40 years HOW DARE THEY
Carson Mitchell
What is her appeal besides being the evil witch of villain teams?
Jason Diaz
The explanation is simple. Marvel loves to job Thor.
>strong enough to one shot Wanda
Only if it is the shit incompetent Wanda who suddenly forgets about her ridiculous powers.
>b8 this weak
Angel Johnson
Nobody gives a fuck about Moonstone. Yeah they retroactively went back in time to copy a symbol she has been using for decades just to do a Blackstar ripoff. You're a smart one.
Well, at least she's finally being honest with herself.
Of course, it's probably going to turn out that she's actually in the right and everyone else is being mind controlled or something, but oh well.
Cooper Martin
>The book is tanking so hard that Marvel had to resort to ripping off Morrison to save sales I can’t say that I’m surprised but still disgusted at the same time.
Angel James
...
That would actually be pretty hot, no lie.
Gavin Sullivan
Imagine taking off Lady Cyclops' visor and getting your head blown off.
LOOK AT THE TOP OF SPIDEY'S HEAD OH NO NO NO NO NO HAHAHAHAHAH
Brandon Anderson
So does Marvel actually hire shills or are you one of those guys who do it for free?
Liam Phillips
Can it be cancerverse carol and can she be all tentacles on the inside?
Aaron Turner
LOOK AT CAP'S FACE OOOOOOH NONONONO HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
Nolan Sanchez
What, did Jen finally get over her sexually frustrated phase?
Aiden Bailey
Neh, it's just that most Marvel artists are going out of their way to portray Jen the way she used to be instead of how Aaron wants her to be. Even in Carol's own book, she's drawn muscled, tall, but still feminine despite being brutish (editorial mandate etc).
I like her design. I love how much of manipulative person she is. It's to the point even if she is telling you the truth, it's more of "how much of it is really true vs the shit you are pulling out of your ass" and I like her how much of a dominatrix she is. I too prefer EMH over Avengers: Assemble
> For Carol fans: Portraying her as a Godlike being who is more powerful than all the other heroes combined > For everyone else: Confirming that she was evil all along
Jonathan Williams
Win-win, I suppose? Because whoever still hates her isn't gonna stop anytime soon.
we know most everyone in here is a thirsty fuck. we know you'll fuck whatever. can we go a thread w/out one of you parched fucks crowing about fucking a drawing like its worthwhile news. holy shit. we know already
David Carter
Carol was better as Ms. Marvel and Genis did the "Captain Marvel turns evil" thing better. Prove me wrong.
Brandon Harris
Ah yes, Carol’s most infamous deadly corruptive nemesis: ALCOHOLISM
Jose Ward
No seriously is Carol just drunker than usual? Is that what this is about?
Juan Foster
ahem HAVE SEX! better?
Matthew Brown
It's really not.
Sebastian Cruz
Well he's going to write Heather and Phyla (alternative versions) soon in Prodigal Sun, so who knows, maybe she'll write Carol for a one-shot sometime.
Levi Green
It's enough for me that she doesn't have that atrociously ugly haircut
Christian Cooper
It's literally the exact same haircut she has now.
Eli Harris
>Lee Garbett
more skinny, flat ass and totally covered carol danvers
>>In November, one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes breaks bad when the world is introduced to Dark Captain Marvel in "The Last Avenger." In Captain Marvel #12, writer Kelly Thompson is joined by artist Lee Garbett to show fans what happens when Carol Danvers takes a bad turn and goes head to head with her former Avengers teammates. So...she lets the alcohol do the talking?
Even the action figure they are making of her is more like what you described.
Oliver Cox
They're trying to give NuCarol some personality so default solution is dark and edgy. Just lol.
Robert Foster
I wish the interior art was as cool as the cover
Benjamin Flores
Yeah, instead of Carol becoming evil isn't this really a story about the Avengers finally doing something about it
Hudson Diaz
3/10 bait. Not great.
Benjamin Ward
This is definitely her Genis moment, i feel it. Unlike him though, it won't be irreversible... But it will be cool to see.
John Flores
Cute bush
Christian Harris
Gotta hope Stark's now got a Carolbuster suit for this upcoming thing with EvilCarol(tm). It was quite embarrassing how easily she took him apart at the end of CW2. Maybe he's got some submissive fetish where Carol's concerned: being dominated by a tall aryan blonde turns him on.
Carol is WAY more powerful than Ironman, and don't pretend any of Tony's Buster armours do anything besides give more layers or ablative armour.
Michael Cox
Always figured if he had a suit built to take Carol on it'd be one with forcefield projection, meant to contain her/deflect or absorb her blasts. Hitting her with energy beams just charges her up and means she hits back harder. Even the kinetic energy from punching her probably charges her up some too, so melee is out. It'd have to be a high-tech affair: energy shields, forcefields, portals to dump her in other dimensions, etc., and just hope she doesn't get close enough to knock all the bits off the suit first.
I've never been a Carol fan, let alone a Carolfag like apparently 48% of the shitposters here apparently are, but... >Kelly Thompson Oh you poor bastards. She's gonna menstate all over you. Other than the weird hair-slot thing on top. Can we just stop trying to push the helmet thing?
Shocking twist, the 'Spidey colours, but with gold accents' jumpsuit actually looks better when it looks like her old black-with-gold leotard.
Thomas Ward
Who, Moonstone? Yeah I wanna fuck her too. Given she's a massive slut just like Carol- imagine putting out for your ugly as shit son, of all people? -maybe she'll let all of Yea Forums fuck her.
Alexander Russell
Carol just can't stop being rip off of Supergirl can she
>Original Cap is a nazi now >Hulk wants to end the world >Pym got his soul fucking eaten and is now 100% Ultron >Mutants are now Inhumans 2.0 >Carol went full on edge >Wally West is a mass murderer >Damian is going Pleasant Hill on villains now >Batman is completely fucking useless thanks to King >Shazam, Supergirl, Beetle and Hawkman got taken over by the Clown World Virus >Martian Manhunter got WHIRRRRRRRRRRed by Luthor and is now his fucking spandex suit Any more of this shit?
William Lopez
>Clown World Virus lol
Owen Perez
>bad supergirl is dyel supergirl So did she take supermeth to get that way or something?
Matthew Nelson
>boss, no one is buying CM! They say it's a bad character! >She's a villain? OK, let's mend this error! BRAVO MARVEL
Leo Rogers
CM sells out every month, incel. Have sex.
Sebastian Cox
>Carol >Laughs >ever user...
Austin Stewart
>>Original Cap is a nazi now I am sick of this meme. No, Captain Hydra was not the "original" Cap, he was a fake created by the Cosmic Cube.
Benjamin Stewart
If you got banned for this that would be fucking BS. Its just a gif of a fictional character beating up another one. Theres a how bunch of them on the damn site.
Jaxon Mitchell
reminder that carol will never kill eternity
Benjamin Morgan
>CM sells out every month >incel >Have sex This post, automated spambot, etc.
Christian James
Does it sell out? Didn't know she got that popular?
Jack Watson
#8 just went to a third printing. And in case you try, no, the title isn't being overshipped and they don't reprint overshipped titles either. Check comichron if you don't believe me. I figured it got reported for "sensitive image" enough times, but it looks like it wasn't. Either way it's full blown cringe.
Jace Howard
What was cringe was the over reaction to it. Condemnations over a gif. People losing their minds.
Kayden Gonzalez
What condemnations? People were clearly making fun of the guy for trying so hard. Imagine being so frustrated that your favorite movie did poorly that you have to make a gif of a weak character beating another to vent it. Oh wait that's not acceptable because it's muh Captain Fungus! Lmao
Thompson's run is good. Also SHE WAS ALWAYS HALF KREE YOU MORON, even this same page from Reed's run proves it (not that it wasn't canon before). >B-but I meant the mom! You can safely ignore that if it hurts your sensibilities so much, but the groundwork was already there.
>Carol is exactly the same, but says the N-word with a hard R from time to time
What a brave and bold new direction.
Hudson Parker
>CM is even worse than nuSW I agree with this.
Jason Clark
>all comics are capes
Jack Myers
Retard.
Levi Evans
Yeah, that's why we discount the opinions of carol "fans".
Gavin Roberts
???? Are you all tourists or some shit? Oh yeah, excellent retort, that sure showed me.
Ayden Foster
Glad you could see the light, retard.
Christian Watson

Carter Gray
user, no comic, capeshit or not, has sold over 1million copies of a single issue except Star Wars #1 (2015) and X-Men #1 (1991)
Connor Cooper
Please, just kill this bitch No one like her
Luis Ortiz
Carol can't even beat Thor in an energy absorbtion contest and her one fucking power is energy absorbtion.
Grayson Gomez
>daring and defining run on Captain Marvel I'll freely admit to not having read any of it, but can someone explain what specifically is being touted as daring or defining?
>Mutants are now Inhumans 2.0 >This happens after they tried to make Inhumans the new X-Men/Mutants The tables really have turned haven't they.
Jaxson Jones
It was always bound to happen, they never bothered to get new creative teams for these books and the ones who were handling the Inhumans are, for the most part, also writing X-Men. But the X-Men were never in danger of being overrun anyway, even during the Inhumans push there were plenty of books for them. Thankfully, there's only like 5 books in the November solicits, so they're taking it slow. (Zero Inhuman books though, which is a shame)
I like Carol, but this is such an unnecessary tie-in. Seems like they added a whole batch of superfluous stories just to keep the event going, even though I really doubt this is gonna be any relevant to the main story.
Aiden James
This >(Zero Inhuman books though, which is a shame) Yeah it sucks and I wish this wasn't the case but It was kinda writing on the wall after Death of the Inhumans. At lease there still showing up in other books like Doctor Stranger and GOTG.
Jonathan Sanchez
>At lease there still showing up in other books like Doctor Stranger and GOTG. Well one of them is cancelled/in hiatus after #20 and the other is being written by Donny Cates, who killed them and doesn't have a single clue what to do with them and has kept them benched since then.
Ian Sanders
What are those lumps on his chest?
Joshua Reed
Feels like they forgot some characters had a Symbiote attached to them, last minute, and gave them one-shots.
Dominic Sanders
Real talk, the first arc was fun but didn't really do much besides made Carol and Rogue fight again, and i am always in for that. The second arc is completely breaking Carol apart and while it started slightly slow i am loving it now.
Justin Williams
I can't wait for Devil Hulk to job to her, completely deflating his apparent threat to end the world.
Ryder Rogers
Considering Immortal Hulk is trying as much as possible to stay away from the rest of the Marvel universe and do its own thing, your concern is baseless. However, I'd like to see her knocking him down just to enjoy the butthurt in here.
Jacob Collins
not to mention how many fucking times has Hulk died in his own book already? Carol could kill him and nothing would change, she would just fly off as a winner and he would come back the next night.
Connor Butler
Yeah exactly, death to him is a Thursday. Hell he even died several times offscreen while swimming to the island where the Puppet Master was held captive in Fantastic Four #16, so it's no big deal at all.
Ian Hughes
You say there’d be butthurt but I wouldn’t mind it, like said Hulk dies a shitton already and seems to come back with a better understanding of how to use his powers every time. I can dig this SCP 682/Doomsday shit. Plus you know, they’re both assholes so it’s like watching a wasp sting a nettle: Someone’s getting stung and I win either way.
Oliver Sanders
why is zombie robin posing up against batman who laughs' leg all sexy-like does batman who laughs into shota?
Leo Gutierrez
He’s pure elemental Batman fear and anxiety, and to go meta his creator literally described him as the principle of “Batman always wins” given form. Draw your own conclusions, folks.
Jose Sanders
And why are they laughing?
Joshua Barnes
Because society was the real joke all along
Cooper Hill
Damn that's deep. I'm already freaked out.
Robert Anderson
Carol's been juicing the Dark side hasn't she?
Liam Price
yes but that doesn't answer why he has zombie shotas feeling up his legs
It's amazing how this one shot feels so out of place in the grand scheme of the event. Even the Weapon H one seems to be focusing on the Sym Soldier program, unlike this.
Grayson Davis
It is, I agree. They really forgot to include her in the original reading list so now they're adding this because of that teaser at the end of her book, which shouldn't have happened anyway. It's really unnecessary and the solicit isn't enticing either. I've been skipping this event because fuck Cates and fuck symbiotes, but even if I cared, I'd likely skip that one-shot despite being a Carol fan.
I thought it was weird Carol avoided fighting Hulk when he was taking on the Avengers, particularly since she kinda started that fight.
Maybe she's afraid? Or Marvel just refuses to show Carol getting her ask kicked by a big muscular-man-monster.
Liam Clark
didn't want the hulk to get embarassed in his own book
Mason Gray
>particularly since she kinda started that fight. She didn't really start that fight, though. I get why you're saying it but that definitely fell on Avengers' responsibility, which at the time was led by T'challa. They all came after him, it wasn't her prerogative. > Or Marvel just refuses to show Carol getting her ask kicked by a big muscular-man-monster. That's... Dumb considering what happened in her own book. Plus Jen got her ass kicked in there.
Eli Ward
This reminds me Phyla Vell a lot, when she became Oblivion's Avatar as Martyr. Don't you think?
Ayden Watson
Isn't this costume based on SuperGirl? Or better said, Power Girl?
I can see it, although Phyla was way more goth. This one is edgier in some ways but minimal in others.
Colton Long
I hope so, barring Rogue and Mystique, Karla Sofen is Carol only antagonist that people care about
Tyler Roberts
That shit was weird. >hulk is more powerful than everu >Carol you're on E-vac, >cap and T'challa get in there Not to mention I feel like her photo blast might help against something that is weak certain types of light.
It's only weird if you see it from her perspective, but if you notice, Tony had already a plan to take him down as a last resort, which means it was their plan all along. I'm sure that her photon blasts might have helped, but it was clear from the start that Tony wanted to put him down for a while and succeeded. Not even Cap's reproach helped.
Logan Lewis
Fuck that. Just continue her Dark Avengers run where she answers calls and proceeds to give 0 fucks about anyone around.
Jaxon Walker
She called the Avengers in though. To save Walter, who she was going to hand over to Fortean.
Who she ordered to power down, and then got stabbed, letting Brian Banner in.
Ayden Lewis
And therein lies the conflict: give up a friend or hand over a guy who started a rampage. And after that she realized she fucked up (unlike the OTHER Avengers who didn't move a finger) and motioned Gamma Flight to rescue him.
Cho really does some of the best art. Not just Enchantress or Hulk there, but all the goblins look freakin grimy and dirty as fuck just like they should.
>>Carol rips Superman's head off >Iron Man gets poisoned by Joker gas/serum/whateverthefuck and becomes the new Green Goblin >Spider-man leaves in disgust >>Pic related Wonder Woman teleports behind Carol and bisects her with a chainsword >heh heh, nuthin' personal, kid And then the planet explodes. The end.
