Captain Marvel #1

Carol Danvers commands the cover of this 2016 series launch with unmistakable authority — suited up in her blue-and-gold uniform, arms crossed and flanked by a fleet of star-emblazoned spacecraft arrayed around her like a personal armada. Kris Anka's sleek, poster-art composition pairs beautifully with Matthew Wilson's warm cosmic palette to set a tone that feels both militarily sharp and genuinely thrilling. Writers Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas kick things off with "Rise of the Alpha Flight," promising a Carol Danvers story with serious scope right from issue one.
