Captain Marvel: 10 Comics You Must Read Before The Film

2. The Mighty Captain Marvel

Earth's Mightiest Hero gets her fourth factory reset in The Mighty Captain Marvel, rebooted in 2016 by Margaret Stohl.

Following the events of Civil War II (the less said about that the better), The Mighty Captain Marvel once again examines Carol's place in the world, with the hero questioning whether she has turned into someone she no longer recognizes.

With the MCU similarly positioning Marvel as its mightiest hero, this book gives us a glimpse at what it might really mean for Carol to be stronger than Thor, faster than Iron Man and to outrank Steve Rogers (she's actually a Colonel, y'know). For those of us trying to pin down Carol Danvers' place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it could prove key.
