5 Criminally Overlooked Comics Everyone Should Be Reading
2. The Life Of Captain Marvel
When it comes to books featuring Earth's mightiest hero, there seems to be a distinct lack of interest. Ever notice how the Captain Marvel books are constantly reset to issue one? That's due to the low sales, in comparison to Marvel's other heavy hitters like Iron Man or the Avengers, which is really quite a shame as over the course of her many different runs, the mighty Captain has enjoyed some brilliant writing...
...And continues to do so, with the latest series, The Life Of Captain Marvel, giving fans a "definitive origin" that manages to weave in both your classic superhero tropes (AKA fighting bad guys) as well as an emotional focal point in the form of Carol attempting to reconnect with her family.
All of this is headed up by Margaret Stohl, a writer who really understands the character through her time on The Mighty Captain Marvel, making this book a must-read for fans of Danvers' previous series and people new to the character alike.
