Captain Marvel [2019] - Kelly Thompson
- Re-Entry - CM is back from her sabbatical in space, and is immediately talked by Tony Stark into taking Hazmat under her wing. Her relationship with Rhodey is doing well and everything seems good, but she is then attacked by Makhizmo, the Nuclear Man, who wants her for his super-bride. He's put a bubble around Roosevelt Island that only women can pass through. She enters and finds some of her friends and allies, albeit depowered. Together they try to stop the Nuclear Man from carrying out his extremely creepy plan, while also dealing with the suspicious sole male on the island who claims to be an ally. It's a fun, fast-paced story with some humor, though overall a bit wordy. Putting together a multiple-ranched army out of mostly civilians without the Big Bad noticing is a little hard to swallow, too, but I guess that's comics. [3.5]

- The Last Avenger - CM is captured by Vox Supreme and is forced to kill the Avengers and bring their bodies to him. But she has a plan involving Singularity, a friendly pocket universe, and with their help she plans to double-cross Vox. Also there's a story in which CM, Wolverine, Ms. Marvel, and a couple of others are trapped in an escape room by an unexpectedly powerful loser. The main story is highly enjoyable; it's nice when the writer takes care to make their character's win over other heroes plausible.
