>>88987538That Anon was right to say there was a big Reed influence. Carol barely sleeping and wrestling with her decissions and a final page that is her fighting herself in a dream. She seems to be back to being her own worst enemy. She legitimately seems in-character again.
So that's good. It's also still a part SWORD book which I like.
Questionable parts:
- the art makes everyone look insufferably smug in all situations
- the first pages are dedicated to highlighting that she has a fan-club in-universe. Hard to tell how much they will keep pushing this just to appeal to five women on tumblr
- Brand isn't enough of a bitch. She even lends emotional support to Carol in one scene which is disappointing since I actually like her more than Carol herself.
- Majestaani refugee crisis as a major plot point. Not terrible by itself, but this sort of stuff tends to get pretty on-the-nose later and it also guarantees that any thread will be shitposted to death by /pol/
- this might be the one that some Anons will just fucking hate: In a flashback Carol gets told by her dad that she can't study astrophysics, because her family is broke and her brother is already going to college. Her father then tells her she has to work full-time to make ends meet and suggests she should put on a skirt, pretty up and marry a guy. This is her reasong for joining the military now.
All-in-all it was just a #0, not a #1, so it's hard to say if things will go straight to hell from here or improve.
