Official Description:

HIGHEST, FURTHEST, FASTEST!
The Captain gets a permanent glow-up designed by superstar artist Jen Bartel! And that’s not all that’s changed. Brand-new look – brand-new creative team – and a brand-new status quo. Carol Danvers is one of the powerhouses of the Marvel Universe, a woman capable of harnessing the energy of the sun. So if you’re coming for Earth? She’s the first one you take off the board. Someone’s figured just how to do just that. Introducing a new supporting cast and villains both beloved and dangerously fresh, Alyssa Wong and Jan Bazaldua’s exhilarating series kicks off here!

Creative Team:
Writer – Alyssa Wong
Artist – Jan Bazaldua
Colorist – Bryan Valenza
Lettering – VC’s Ariana Maher
Cover Art – Stephen Segovia & Romulo Fajardo Jr.

It is never a dull day in Manhattan, especially if you’re Captain Marvel. Our girl Carol got a makeover including a brand-new super suit. That’s not the only new thing in Captain Marvel’s life. She has a new enemy who can siphon her energy and a girl with sticky fingers who happened to steal the wrong thing from the wrong person and now is mentally connected with Captain Marvel.

Psychic bond, quantum entanglement, trips to the negative zone…Wong and team have kicked off Carol’s next chapter with an action-packed issue and some exciting new characters. Carol is one of the strongest superheroes taking on the biggest, baddest villains like Thanos, so I am eager to see what our new big bad, The Omen, has in store for Earth’s mightiest hero. The added twist of the entanglement between Yuna Yang and Captain Marvel is going to make for some interesting showdowns. I can’t wait to see what Wong has lined up for us next.
