Captain Marvel #4

A blazing Carol Danvers dominates this 2014 issue, wreathed in fire with fists ignited and a starburst of energy radiating from her chest — it's a striking image rendered with real confidence by cover artist David López. Behind her, three figures — including one wielding a staff with a distinctive serpent-crowned head — race across a flooded, eerie landscape rendered in cool teal tones that contrast beautifully with Carol's warm flames. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist David López, with colors by Lee Loughridge, bring an unmistakable sense of momentum to this chapter of Carol's ongoing adventures.
