Exclusive Preview: Captain Marvel #1

If Marvel has its way, 2019 is going to be the year of Captain Marvel. Of course, there’s a movie coming in just over two months, which means it’s the perfect time for a Captain Marvel relaunch. Next week, Marvel is offering Carol Danvers a fresh start with Captain Marvel #1 by writer Kelly Thompson and artist Carmen Carnero. But that doesn’t mean things are going to be any easier for Carol.

In Superhero Hype’s exclusive preview of Captain Marvel #1, Carol has to face an extremely powerful giant monster. Fortunately, Carol’s good friend, Jessica Drew a.k.a. Spider-Woman, is there to lend a hand. Life has kind of gotten in the way of their friendship, but now there’s something that they can punch together. And isn’t that the best way for heroes to bond?

Here’s the official description from Marvel: “ALL THE STARS ALIGN AS KELLY THOMPSON AND CARMEN CARNERO TAKE ON MARVEL’S PREMIER FEMALE SUPER HERO! As Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers has spent months in space protecting Earth from alien threats big and small, but now it’s time for Earth’s mightiest hero to come home. New York City has never looked so good. But every re-entry comes with the unexpected, and Carol is about to hit a whole lot of unexpected. It’s a fresh start and an oversized, star-studded welcome home for a hero who’s been punching the glass ceiling since the 1970s — and just in time for the first female-led film from Marvel Studios! The next 50 years of Captain Marvel starts here!”
