MS. MARVEL EPIC COLLECTION: THIS WOMAN, THIS WARRIOR

As Captain Marvel is going to be an important part of the finale of Avengers vs. Thanos, and her movie will be a prelude to the Avengers movie, for anyone not familiar with Carol Danvers and her turn into a super heroine, this is required reading. The Original Captain Marvel was a male, however, this edition tells the story of how SHE came to be the Earth friendly Kree Warrior.....Glorious 70s comic art, which is so clear and easy to follow, just like the storyboards for movies, is done mainly with John Buscema and Jim Mooney's splendid artwork, with the great embellishment of FF stalwart, Joe Sinnott.....

This is a great book! I love it, but wish it would have been delivered in better condition. I bought this as a new product but it came out of the packaging with the cover and a few pages bent.

Love this comic--70's and 80's were marvel best decades!!!

This edition is great for collectors. It collects issues #1-14 from the first Ms. Marvel run, written by Chris Claremont and Gerry Conway.The spine came a little bended and it left a mark.

Good

Great collection of Bronze Age comics. A must have for lovers of this now classic character.

As described

A great read!

Publicação bem fraca. A expectativa em torno do nome da personagem, o fato de sempre ser relacionada como um ícone do movimento feminino na Marvel e também ao seu aparecimento no MCU elevaram muito minha expectativa. Porém, o nível de amadorismo dos roteiros do quase sempre competente Claremont me decepcionaram e os desenhos também não chamam a atenção. As melhores histórias não por coincidência são as em que a heróina interage com outros personagens como o Homem Aranha e os Defensores.

... which is VERY good to see. I bought this from Amazon Australia and so far they have never let me down with the quality of service and effort they go to in order to make sure you get exactly what you pay for. A brand new book in perfect condition. I sadly cannot say h same for books I have to order from Amazon US... who think sending a book in a plastic bag is protection enough... it is not. I constantly see reviews of damaged books delievered by the US warehouses, they need to learn you save more time and money if you simply make an effort.As for the book, I bought it because it was on sale and very cheap for an Epic collection title, so cannot pass that up as a volume 1... but also as a Birthday gift for my girlfriend to get her into american comics, she is a manga nerd. We both hated Captain Marvel the movie, so I wanted her to experience the character before she got destroyed in favour of pushing an agenda. The bet place to start is with Chris Claremont, the creator, the guy is a god tier writer in Marvel comics.... anyways, the I bought it as a joke to see the cringe on her face, to which was very amusing... but after reading the quality within I may have converted her over to classic marvel comics. Give it a shot, as far as female heroes go, she is up there... well she used to be, modern comics are trash, stick with the classics.

Marvel brought out 23 issues of this title from the mid 70s and I had about 20 of them and they had been languishing somewhere at my dad's home where I'd left them when i left home in the 90s. My Avengers, Spider-Man and Hulk issues all made the move with me as they were still ongoing titles but Ms Marvel didn't come with me as it's run had ended long ago and i saw no further need for them. And in the passing years I barely gave them a passing thought.Then i spotted the two epic collections and decided to revisit an old friend. Now the writing and artwork is of it's time, nothing groundbreaking but i prefer the less cluttered and easier to follow artwork of yesteryear and the stories were entertaining enough to keep my interest. Also included are a few issues of other comic books that Ms Marvel guested in including a two part Marvel TeamUp drawn by John Byrne, one of my favourite writer/artists.If you're looking for the grittier storytelling and complex and glorious artwork of todays Marvel output, this book may not be for you but if you enjoy a nice simple tale with solid art this will be right up your street.

With the Captain Marvel movie due out in a few months, it only makes sense to include the adventures of Carol Danvers, or Ms. Marvel as she was back then, to the Epic Collection line. Her original series was pretty short - unfortunately there were sliiightly too many volumes to fit in a single volume, so instead we get two skinny ones instead (this one is 320 pages). Happily, though, we get both this year, so there won't be long to wait to get the whole run!As the series starts, it's certainly an interesting premise - Carol Danvers, ex-NASA and new editor-in-chief of Woman magazine, has no idea that she is also costumed powerhouse Ms. Marvel... and vice versa! With both personas initially having no knowledge of the other's existence, it adds an added complication to her personal life and battles with supervillains (both existing menaces like the Scorpion and new foes such as the Destructor).Gerry Conway and John Buscema kick the series off, although Chris Claremont takes over writing duties after the first two issues, and Jim Mooney picks up the art reigns a couple of issues after that. All provide sterling work, building up a strong supporting cast for Carol even as they throw her into thrilling fights with villains aplenty. The relationship between Danvers and Ms. Marvel is ever-evolving and often antagonistic, really helping to set her apart from other Marvel characters, even her most direct influence, the first Captain Marvel.As well as the first fourteen issues of her own title, this volume also includes a Marvel Team-Up two-parter pairing her with Spider-Man, and an issue of Defenders that sees her helping out Marvel's non-team team. They could perhaps have thrown in a few introductory pages from Danvers's appearances in Captain Marvel, but I presume they are saving those for an eventual Captain Marvel Epic Collection (most of the relevant parts are recapped in flashback form here anyway).Extras include editorials from the first two issues, a John Romita character design, a house ad, and eight pages of original art by Buscema, Mooney, Marie Severin and Sal Buscema. Even at a relatively slim size for the Epic line, this volume still manages to feel packed with great stuff.

Ms.Marvel epic collection, volume 1, is the first Marvel book I have read. Mainly because I usually read DC books. So, just for a change I wanted to try a Marvel book and, I wasn't dissapointed.This first volume collects together the first 14 issues of Ms.Marvel's original run from the the late 1970's. Also included are two extra issue's in which Carol danvers makes a guest appearance in two other classic marvel titles. In the first one she teams up with the amazing Spider-Man, and in the second title ca!!ed "The Defenders" Ms.Marvel teams up with them to help save the Hulk and, her friend Dr.Michael Barnett.In the first 14 issues of her original run from the late seventies. Ms.Marvel battles with villainous characters such as the Scorpion, Modok, the Doomsday man and Grotesk and, many more who dare to try and stop Ms.Marvel from saving the day.The writing is pretty good and, it's a lot of fun to read. Not only that but, the artwork in the main panels looks good and, the front cover artwork looks stunning. Ms.Marvel herself looks beautiful.Looking forward to reading volume 2.
