For example, in one issue we see Ms Marvel in regular clothes (though she claims not to be Ms Marvel in the scene so you're not really sure) as she's about to punch a guy at a party for "trying to kill me a long time ago!"
The following issue has nothing at all to do with the cliffhanger and is a story from her past before she got her powers. The 2nd issue follows along with the "past" storyline and we finally get to meet the guy she met at the party who tried to kill her. (Ah, good!)
But then the next 2 comics is a mis-adventure with Spiderman that has nothing to do with the ongoing plot. At least I couldn't see the connection. Follow that with another story of her past, then a one-off story of a mutant kid she discovers who can re-write...time....the past....with his mind. (it's not really explained but whatever he read comes to life, even if it was in the past)
Move forward to 2 more stories of her with Shield and finally we get to see where started off all those issues ago. VERY random.
But that's not all! Because later on in this 50 issues I read, she dies and another character takes her place. It's a villain pretending to be her in disguise. As Ms Marvel, she start killing the bad guys or putting other citizens in danger and....nobody cares?! Take mind this is after the Civil War story plot which lead to the public having a huge problem with Super Heroes acting that way. But NO ONE seems to mind when the new Ms Marvel is handing out Justice?!
It then get more confusing when (several issues later) the real Ms Marvel appears out of thin air and starts fighting with the Newer version. But after 2 issues we see her alter ego Caroll Danvers, watching the fight between the 2 Ms Marvels on TV at a bar and say "How is this happening?"
At this point I'm super confused because nothing is making sense. How is she alive, and who is the "old" Ms Marvel. Well, in the next issue we discover that Carol Danvers doesn't even think she's Ms Marvel but she still has a nagging feeling to investigate it at the Avengers HQ to understand why she's feeling.....strange or weird. They don't really say why.
Upon arrival the NEW Ms Marvel tries to kill Danvers on the spot even though the opponent she's been fighting the past few issues before is in custody and she knows it.
To add to the confusion, Carol has someone in her head (we are lead to believe it's the other Ms Marvel) telling her to go away. So now you believe that her personalities are split. Though you still don't know why this happened or how.
BUT WAIT! They end up killing Danvers, who turns into (as best I can describe) "space blocks" and floats away, back into the old Ms Marvel who clobbers the newer version.
After giving up on anything making sense the writer reveals that you've been watching a story told from the mutant who we read about 20 issues ago who was trying to give the original Ms Marvel a "happy ending" by living as an ordinary person, but Danvers' conscience (unknowingly) forces the old Ms Marvel back into the "story" that ruins her new life.
Before we are left with any aftermath to what happened, Captain Marvel comes back to life without explanation and Ms Marvel uses the last two issues of her series to track him down and find out who he is.
This Captain Marvel kills innocents so it's obviously not him, but in issue 50 we discover it IS him but he doesn't know how he came to life either.
That is the point where my collection stops and I'm happy it did. The story was awful. The art was mostly good but overall, a terrible waste of time. (why couldn't this guy have collected DC Comics instead!!
