The Life of Captain Marvel #1

Carol Danvers takes flight in full Captain Marvel regalia — blue-and-red suit, gold star emblem, helmet tucked under her arm and a worn suitcase in hand — hovering above a suburban house while two people below look up in cheerful surprise. There's something immediately refreshing about Julian Totino Tedesco's cover art, which frames this as a story about the person beneath the hero, blending the cosmic and the quietly domestic in a single image. Writer Margaret Stohl kicks off this five-issue miniseries with "Part One: Trapped," promising a more personal look at Carol's life than readers are used to seeing.
