Thanks for the mini-synopsis/update on Cosmic Marvel. I haven't read anything since Infinity Entity ended. I stopped Dr Strange and even Black Panther. I tried to get into regular collecting again, but figured I'd just revert back to doing trades once certain story arcs summed up. Good to hear that I'm not really missing anything. Captain Marvel with a small team in tow defeats a character that bested Odin and Galactus in single combat (mind you, they were both weakened, but you know what I mean)? PFFFFT! It makes no sense that she'd be that powerful. Captain Marvel was full Kree and he didn't exhibit that level of power and if Brood experimentation (Binary) could elicit that sort of result, why wouldn't they just augment themselves and beat up Thanos-level characters? Marvel's a mess....as much as I love Carol, there's no need to cannibalize certain characters (or her own origins) to elevate her artificially. That's my larger point with Starlin/Warlock/Thanos. I'm afraid I disagree about Starlin exercising creative license with his characters because they don't exist in isolation. They are part of a mosaic. Changing them drastically, creates imbalance.

And for anyone thinking to work my Carol comments into "oh, Marvel's PC/diversity initiative is ruining everything," save it....that's NOT what I'm saying. My point is about lazy writing that does little more than infantilize the reader. I feel the need to add that because this tract of conversation has resulted too many times in the revelation of offensive views on this thread...
