In terms of character development, Carol Danvers is at a crossroads. During the early parts of her Ms. Marvel career, she never really got to be a marquee name, despite being in the Avengers. Then, all kinds of nastiness happened with her being raped and having a baby, losing her powers to Rogue, being a hanger-on for the X-Men, etc. Then, during House of M, she manifested a reality where she was a celebrated hero. House of M is over, but she still wants to be adored. So it makes perfect sense the would side with Iron Man, register her identity, and become a force for “justice,” hunting down unregistered powered beings.

She and Wonder Man are tasked by Iron Man to go find Arana and arrest her. Spider-Woman 2, now going by Arachne, is assigned to find Shroud–but finds. The missions overlap. Arana agrees to register and Ms. Marvel takes the young hero under her wing.

Meanwhile Arachne and Shroud, it turns out, have a thang going on…

So Ms. Marvel and Aranya are assigned to bring them back in. Although they fulfill their assignment, both are finding SHIELD and Iron Man’s tactics increasingly distasteful.

At the end of issue #8, Rogue shows up to ask Carol for help. That will be the next arc.

I like the idea of Carol wanting to be a mentor for a young female hero. The Civil War specific content, however, is just mediocre.
