Marvel; $3.99

If you don’t like cats, this might be one to avoid. Otherwise, brace yourself for fler-kittens… a whole lot of fler-kittens. As it turns out, Carol’s cat, Chewie, was of an incredibly rare alien species known as the “flerken.” Picture a regular housecat. Now picture a regular housecat with enormous tentacles coming out of its mouth that lays eggs. This is a flerken.

Carol continues to squabble with Rocket Raccoon over the status of said flerken, but the immense amount of offspring that Chewie produced raises other problems. While Captain Marvel #8 is mostly a filler issue, it manages to be entertaining enough to hold a reader’s attention. It looks as though Carol will be meeting back up with the Guardians of the Galaxy, so things may get intense in following issues.
