The first issue for Ms. Marvel! Not what I was expecting; Ms. Marvel's powers were altered and she had amnesia! I really liked the Carol Danvers moments; she was the strong, powerful woman I was looking for but when she was in the costume, she was kind of like the 'average' superhero!

a beautiful introduction to an amazing character. usually in older comics i have such a hard time getting through the general sexism and out-of-touch references, but conway addresses these issues head on and really writes carol as a force to be reckoned with. from her fighting for equal pay in the FIRST issue, running her own feminist magazine, and being an outspoken inspiration for young girls - this carol pulls NO punches. the writing doesn’t shy away from these issues that were pretty bold to tackle in the 70’s. of coarse i could do without the flippant and way-too-frequent love interests that carol blew through, but this is me being completely nit-picky.

a joy to read (and re-read!)

The action is handled pretty well, and it is fun seeing a new hero interact with the Bugle staff, but you can tell by the costume and by the amnesia that they were not really sure what to do with a feminist hero.

It’s amazing that the Captain Marvel we know and love today was born from this title. Quite a few differences, but you cN see a sprinkling of the origin story peeking through. I often wonder what the film writers see when, and if, they read these titles?
