I've come to really dislike massive, cross-title crossovers as a genre; this one was fun because it mostly sidesteps that to tell a story focusing on Carol, rather than telling a story about a Skrull invasion that Carol just happens to be present for. Reed's version of the character is strong, principled, and unafraid to kick ass. She's a fun character to read about.

The one thing that took away from this was the art. I knew what I was getting in for (Greg Horn on covers with some dude from Witchblade on interiors), but it was hard to take the story seriously at times when it's full of the hero posing like a pin-up model in the middle of a fight scene.
