Ms. Marvel Vol. 9: Best You Can Be (Ms. Marvel by Brian Reed

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The end of Brian Reed's run on Ms. Marvel that will be sure to leave you asking, "Is that it?"

This book has four issues in it.

First up is Carol Danvers' date with Spider-man that she promised at the end of volume 6. The story's not horrible, but this story brings home the point that post-OMD (One More Day) Peter Parker is a pathetic creature and not funny.

Then Carol solves the mystery of what happened at the Church of Hala and it runs her right into Mystique and a convoluted revenge plot involving a fake Captain Marvel.

After the conclusion of the battle, we get a final scene with Carol talking about how she realized how great she was and adjusted her perspective. This felt totally unearned, based on the story and the way she'd progress. It felt rushed, as if Brian Reed knew how he wanted to end the series and inserted his ending, even it doesn't make any sense.

Oveall, a lackluster end to a good series.
