Captain Marvel #5

Carol Danvers rockets forward fists-first in her black-and-red suit, hair streaming behind her, with a vintage WWII-era propeller plane banking through billowing clouds at her back — it's a cover that immediately signals something adventurous is brewing across time. Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson's art captures Carol with a focused, no-nonsense intensity that suits the "Earth's Mightiest Hero" banner perfectly. Kelly Sue DeConnick, Emma Ríos, and Jordie Bellaire's 2012 series was already carving out something distinctive for Carol, and this fifth issue looks like a thrilling chapter in that run.
