This particular series revolves around Carol Danvers, blond and ex-military and ex-security chief and whatever else. Not the current Marvel, Kamala Khan with her weird skin colouring and abilities that defies believe that she should be called Ms Marvel. Heck if she wanted a name with Marvel it should be something cheesy like Marvel Girl (since Jean is not around to use it) or Marvel Lass hahahaha!
Anyway, during this particular reincarnation of the series, we see Carol siding with Iron Man and the government for the initial duration of the Civil War (Superheroes Registration Act). And here, she and Wonder Man and a team of SHIELD agents are going to take down Spider-Woman ... who was once a friend of Wonder Man in other Avengers' title and also a friend of Carol's. Shows how nice both Simon and Carol are, eh?
The highlight of this entire issue is the slugfest between the three of them where Spider gives as good as she gets but obviously it was never going to be enough as she is up against so many others while at home with her family
The emotional bit has to do with the new Spider girl called Anya aka Arachnid we think her name is. She is like a super hero in training and tailing them and shocked to see the lengths to which her idol Carol would go to to harm a woman in front of her daughter and grandparents! And she went home crying and confused and this ... more than anything else is the turning point for Carol as it began to sow seeds of doubt into her mind that what she is doing may not be the best or right thing anymore regardless of what the current law states ...
Good art, good story, good pacing, good superhero action!
