Captain Marvel: 10 Comics You Must Read Before The Film

4. Ultimates: Omniversal

It's not all solo adventures for the mighty Captain Marvel though. If the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taught us anything, it's that teamwork is key. When not rubbing shoulders with the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Danvers could be found heading up the Ultimates - a super-team consisting of Marvel, Black Panther, Ms. America, Blue Marvel and Spectrum.

Not to be confused with previous Ultimates book (it's not even set in the Ultimate universe), these Ultimates are a team especially established to take on cosmic-size threats.

Omniversal is notable less for its story (although Captain Marvel and super-friends vs Galactus is a mean hook) and more for a glimpse at what a version of the Avengers might look once Robert Downey Jr, Ruffalo and the Chrises have departed the MCU. Everyone's counting on you, Carol.
