7. In Pursuit Of Flight

Here's the Captain Marvel that film fans and modern comic book readers will have been waiting for: Carol Danvers, Earth's Mightiest Hero.

Following her introduction in Captain Marvel #18, and accidentally being granted cosmic superpowers therein, Danvers took on the title of Ms. Marvel, by no means a slouch in the superhero department even then.

2012's In Pursuit of Flight sees her finally take on the Captain's title, and this book follows her as she begins to redefine herself and her place in the Marvel Universe. Rocking an instantly iconic look created by Jamie McKelvie and featuring some snappy writing by Kelly Sue DeConnick, this reboot of the character is the perfect jumping-on point for new fans - even those who might have skipped out on the Mar-Vell and Ms. Marvel years.
