Captain Marvel #1

Fabian Nicieza, Ed Benes, and Mike Sellers launch this 1995 Marvel series with a cover by Claudio Castellini that poses a pointed question right on the spine: "How does the son of Mar-Vell become cosmic enemy?" That tension comes alive in the image of a white-haired figure in a blue jacket turning away from a red-and-gold costumed character whose glowing gem crackles with energy against a star-filled backdrop — and the defiant speech bubble "Deal with it." says everything about the attitude driving this series. A sharp, confident opener for anyone drawn to cosmic Marvel drama.
