Spider-man and Captain Marvel. granted vol 3 had Loki and the Agents of Shield. the difference is the crossover comics in vol 3 i didn't feel lik had to know the background of Loki and the Agents of Shield in order to enjoy the story. Versus vol4 wher ei felt like i was missing an important plot point because i didn't know their stories.
to me this SCREAMS publisher marketing ploy to sell more comics knowing that Ms. Marvel has drawn in new comic book readers, a lot who don't normally read superhero comics (like me!) or who are new to the who idea of reading GN's and comic books.
the stories were interesting but it did annoy me. the reason i don't read superhero comics is because of all the mythology and background you have to know in order to fully understand what's going on. if Ms.Marvel is going to be that connected to the rest of Marvel universe i may not continue reading the series. i'll just look at the movies like i do with the rest of the superhero comic book characters.

I love the TV show (thanks for the rec, Tess!)so i wanted to read the comic. i hoped it would be mainly about the minor characters but it's not. it still focused on the clones.
the art was good and the story was written by the tv show writers so it was excellent of course. if i hadn't seen the show i would have been lost.
they didn't do a good job of distinguishing past and present IMO, esp in the first 2 issues Sara & Helena.
although i did like the additional backstories, i didn't see any of that info in the show and i am up to season 3. maybe they mention some of it in season 4. it just makes me wonder if the backstories will tie into the show. i am especially wondering about Rachel's

oh and the age difference kinda made me squirm but only when he was trying to seduce her and she was clearly saying no and pushing him back and he wasn't budging. no rape but it still made me squirm.
i shall read the next in the series and see if the man is just as annoying or squirm inducing. if so i will give up on Lisa Kleypas.

i was even more mad since Quinn penned a note in the book talking about it and her process of writing it since it is one of her earliest works. i was mad she didn't put a warning in her note. also i fail to see how a MAN who witnesses a child rape would so blame himself for not preventing said rape that he fears he will become a rapist or something like that. there are plenty of horrors about war. ones that could have affected him more directly than this and scarred his soul more so. i am mad she chose rape. i mad she chose to write about it in detail. i am mad it was a child. and i am mad it was repeated. so many other horrors of war that give soldiers PTSD. why in a romance novel would you choose rape?
other than that it was a typical Quinn funny romance. you can definitely tell it is one of her earlier works though.
