Let's Read Volume 3!

Part 3 of "Live Kree or Die" occurs in Quicksilver #10 - Live Kree or Die: Blue Moon. Unfortunately, Marvel hasn't seen fit to add the 13 issues of the 1997-1998 Quicksilver series to their digital unlimited collection. However, a very brief summary of the issue (with cover art) is available on ComicsVine here.

Writer: Kurt Busiek
Penciler: George Perez

Carol faces the music for her actions during the Kree invasion. Unfortunately, the Lunatic Legion are far from finished with earth.

Despite the comm's title, we've reached our first crossover event. So instead of the usual "one issue of each title" discussion post format, I'm going to go ahead and post all four parts three parts available via Marvel Digital of "Live Kree or Die" (AKA "The Carol Danvers alcoholism storyline") in order, which will involve doubling up on some titles. Think of it as making up for skipping the postings last week.
