Captain Marvel is a superhero who has gone through some tumultuous times. The character otherwise known as Carol Danvers might be an A-lister now, but it took a long time to grant her the status she's since become synonymous with. When she first debuted in "Marvel Super-Heroes" #13 back in 1987, Carol was known as Ms. Marvel. She was created, in part, to capitalize on the women's liberation movement that had been taking the country by storm for nearly 20 years — but the effects of the movement wouldn't create lasting change for her character for a while.
Carol's bizarre journey was recently catalogued in the insider book "MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios." It didn't take long for her to get her own solo series, "Ms. Marvel," in the late '70s, but she was frequently written by men, few of whom fully understood the feminist movement they were meant to be embodying.

“This can’t be right,” says a disembodied voice, over an image of an Air Force pilot, signaling to her wingman in an adjoining jet. The voice commands someone to go back further, this time to images of a little girl racing a go-cart. “Who is this person?” asks the voice, speaking for most of the viewers as well.
The confusion of the speaker, later revealed to be the Skrull Talos, comes from his expectation to see memories of Hala, the assumed homeworld of the Kree warrior Vers. He doesn’t realize that Vers was born on Earth as Carol Danvers. After Talos unlocks her memories, Carol recovers her identity and her full power, eventually becoming the superhero Captain Marvel.

"Historia: The Amazons", a "Wonder Woman" comic book story written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha and Nicola Scott for DC Comics' Black Label, was originally pitched as nine 64-page issues (576 pages in total) published as three graphic novels, now available as a hardcover edition:
"...a 'Homeric' epic of the lost history of the 'Amazons' and the rise to power of 'Queen Hippolyta', features monsters and myths, in a three-book saga.
"Millennia ago, 'Queen Hera' and the goddesses of the 'Olympian' pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action.

Ms. Marvel Episode 1
Kamala Khan has arrived in the MCU with her own Disney+ show introducing us to Ms. Marvel, Jersey City’s newest hero. As a canonical fangirl, there are more Easter eggs than usual in this first episode alone, with a special emphasis on Ms. Marvel’s connection to Captain Marvel. In a world where Marvel characters are on the news and there’s an Avengers fan convention for the irl heroes, there are so many references we probably won’t ever find them all, but we’re doing our best. Let’s dig in!
Opening Credits
The opening animation is like the short animated films actor Iman Vellani has made herself, which are also Marvel-themed. They are incredibly endearing. You can see them here. And, of course, within that there are a ton of Marvel Comics and MCU Easter eggs, which...

Last year, we said “…every work of art made in [2020] is a small miracle. Every comic creator who put irons in the fire in a year that certainly didn’t lack fires deserves gratitude and commendation.” That’s no less true in 2021, a year where days felt like months and each month somehow also passed like a half an hour. Creators who put themselves out there this year did so with even greater precarity and more than a dash of shattered hope. But they helped us get through it all, and we should be immensely grateful.

Tollywood The Sexy Lamp Test states: “If you can remove a female character from your plot and replace her with a sexy lamp and your story still works, you’re a hack.”Rajeswari ParasaIn recent times, there has been much discussion on the representation of women on screen. Feminist critics have also come up with various tests to guage how well women characters are portrayed in a film. You may have heard of the popular Bechdel test, but there's also the Sexy Lamp Test that several Indian movies would fail. Coined by American writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, the Sexy Lamp Test simply states: “If you can remove a female character from your plot and replace her with a sexy lamp and your story still works, you’re a hack.” If Telugu movies are put to the Sexy Lamp Test, not many would come out with flying colours.

I know every comic book publisher loves a ‘special’ issue, an ‘anniversary’ issue, or a ‘reached a big number’ issue, but at first glance a 144 page monster book for issue 1027 of Detective Comics seems a bit of a stretch. Longevity, sure, but we just had a whole raft of anniversary specials did we not? Then you realise. Detective Comics #27, back in 1939, was not only the very first appearance of Batman, but became the title that led to National Periodicals eventually becoming DC Comics. They liked the series so much they named a company after it. So, in comic book terms, Detective Comics #27 is probably the second most important published, beaten out only by Action Comics #1.

CW: Sexual harassment, grooming
This week saw a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against men of varying positions in the comic book industry. The first came from artist Aviva Artzy, followed up by artist and writer Kate Leth, with support from the wife of the late Darwyn Cooke, Marsha Cooke, and convention organizer Andrea Demonakos, accusing Cameron Stewart of grooming underage girls. Grooming is when an older person establishes a relationship with a usually underage one, with the intention of developing a sexual relationship in the future. As a result of this, Stewart, the one time Batgirl co-writer and Seaguy artist, was let go from a previously unannounced DC project and had a variant cover for Image’s Ice Cream Man canceled.
Later, former Dark Horse editor Brendan Wright was accused by former colleague Bekah Caden of an extended campaign of sexual harassment and stalking. Wright left Dark Horse in...

Jim Lee, the legendary comic artist turned publisher turned DC Comics executive, has spent most of his social distancing putting up huge for local comic shops. He’s been furiously sketching some awesome characters, then auctioning them off on eBay. The Binc Foundation, the charity that supports book stores in times of crisis, has seen an influx of cash thanks to the work of the comics great, to the tune of $230,000 so far. Previous sketches have been of Cyborg, Darkseid, Bane, Grifter and Zealot, and others.
And this time, he’s doing it with another Batman villain (and Harley Quinn confidante) Poison Ivy. Lee first spent time with Ivy on the celebrated Batman: Hush story, and this is a stunning look at the character.
Lee has raised an enormous sum for Binc – by the time this auction closes, he will have likely surpassed the $250,000 pledged by DC Comics to the charity,...

Kelly Sue DeConnick is a pretty big deal.

Cast your mind back to April 2016, when Marvel Studios was still teasing the idea of a standalone Captain Marvel movie, and you’ll no doubt remember the moment when Kevin Feige confirmed changes to the origin story of Carol Danvers.
At the time, the Powers That Be felt Carol’s comic book origin story was too similar to that belonging to DC’s Green Lantern, and so Meg LeFauve and Guardians screenwriter Nicole Perlman were tasked with creating something new – something unique. The resulting narrative would go on to form the foundations of Captain Marvel’s cinematic debut, but its roots can be traced back to Kelly Sue DeConnick, a comic book scribe who knows a thing or two about what makes Carol tick.
Turns out she actually pitched something totally different for “In Pursuit of Flight,” which Marvel ultimately rejected. But as DeConnick and Mary Livanos, director of production and development for Marvel Studios,...

Avengers: Endgame was filled with plenty of divisive surprises, including Carol’s advanced suit and, most notably, updated haircut. Because the powerful superhero didn’t have much to do in the film, a lot of the focus around her centered on her shortened locks.
The new look was an apparent homage to the comics, but didn’t sit right with many fans who liked the protagonist’s long hair. Perhaps the most angered by the hairdo change was Captain Marvel writer Kelly Sue DeConnick.
She was evidently frustrated when the topic was brought up and pushed back on the idea that the latest style is Carol’s real cut. In her own words, “I would fight you for calling that her real haircut. We’re pistols at dawn, you and I.”
The short hair has been a trademark of the extraterrestrial warrior for years now, but this wasn’t always the case.

The reaction to Captain Marvel has largely been positive. Save for a few trolls who seem dead set on expressing their hatred for the studio’s first female superhero movie, most McU fans were generally pleased with how Carol Danvers’ origin story panned out. While she didn’t get a ton of screentime in Avengers: Endgame, it looks like the House of Mouse still has big plans for her moving forward. Aside from an all-but-confirmed sequel, it seems Captain Marvel herself will be leading the New Avengers at some point in Phase 4/5, and while fans appear to be happy with this decision, they’re still desperately hoping for an entirely different kind of announcement.
The studio has yet to officially address Danvers’ sexuality, but the internet’s convinced that Captain Marvel is going to be the McU’s first openly gay hero, and there’s been plenty of speculation as...

The recent Captain Marvel was that rare example of an McU solo movie that gave no love interest to its title character. If you ask Marvel Studios director of production and development Mary Livanos, however, the film simply had too much ground to cover to address the heroine’s sexuality.
At the espnW Summit in New York, Livanos explained to Business Insider that they thought it best to keep the focus on Carol Danvers’ journey of self-discovery, meaning that the character’s love life had to take a backseat:
“Speaking to Captain Marvel, in that installment, that was a movie about self-discovery and Carol re-finding herself. So, in executing the film, we felt there wasn’t room in the narrative to tell that story.”
By leaving Carol’s sexuality unaddressed, the internet has been free to ship whatever pair-up they see fit. In particular, there’s been a lot of...

Warning: minor spoilers for Avengers: Endgame ahead. Proceed with caution.
Thanks to the end credits of Captain Marvel and the first official clip from Avengers: Endgame, fans knew Carol Danvers would be among the heroic crew in this latest installment. What many fans weren't expecting, however, was her new haircut.
Five years after the pared-down Avengers group "killed" Thanos, a Captain Marvel hologram participates in a call with Black Widow, War Machine, Rocket, and Okoye. Instead of the shoulder- to mid-length look she shows off at the beginning of the film and in her own movie, Captain Marvel sports a shorter, military-style cut during the call. Her new look may come as a surprise, but according to her comic book story arc, we all should've seen this coming.
There's no telling what Captain Marvel was up to in those five years, and, no, we don't get to see her hair get chopped.

In one of the non-life-threatening surprises in Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel cut her hair and pushed back against the gender binary.
Warning: This article contains Major Avengers: Endgame spoilers. We have a completely spoiler free review right here.
As long as she has been Captain Marvel, people have been talking about Carol Danvers’ hair. Avengers: Endgame is no exception.
In the lead up to the epic movie, there was a bit of a dust-up about Captain Marvel’s looks. Some fans were surprised to see that our fresh-faced hero, last seen heading off into space in the '90s with a very no-frills look, seemed to have picked up some makeup on her way across the galaxy toward Avengers HQ. My personal head canon? Her friend in the comics Dazzler, the mutant/intergalactic pop star taught her how to do a perfect matte lip.

In one of the non-life-threatening surprises in Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel cut her hair and pushed back against the gender binary.

As long as she has been Captain Marvel, people have been talking about Carol Danvers’ hair. Avengers: Endgame is no exception.

Until relatively recently, and under an older management no longer in place, it was said that a female led superhero film could never succeed. Men just wouldn’t go and watch apparently. Ironically, Marvel themselves could have been the first to consign that to history with a solo Black Widow film, a character popular enough to succeed, but they dithered and so DC took the plunge with Wonder Woman and it was a huge success. Hey, guess what, modern audiences aren’t reflected by the views of old rich guys in board rooms, thank goodness. Wonder Woman’s success of course paved the way for Captain Marvel, which is just hitting cinemas now. I won’t get into the politics of the film in the lead up, all to do with a certain section of fandom threatened by Brie Larson’s feminist views,...

Higher. Further. Faster. Those words have become a mantra for Carol Danvers, courtesy of Kelly Sue DeConnick who brought a fresh and female perspective to Captain Marvel in 2012. That mantra suggests a character who is not only trying to outrace her past, but operating with an awareness of it that allows her to push past any perceived limitations. While Captain Marvel, the 21st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, draws a significant amount of inspiration from DeConnick’s celebrated run, especially in terms of Brie Larson’s characterization of Carol, the film also manages to synthesize Carol’s 50-year history into something ...

If you ask the creative team behind Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel about their inspirations, one name comes up over and over again: Kelly Sue DeConnick.
The comic book writer — known for her flaming red hair, matching lips, and tattoos — reimagined Carol Danvers in 2012, making her into an Air Force pilot with the military prowess of Steve Rogers and the cockiness of Tony Stark. Carol Danvers had existed in the comics for decades, but it was DeConnick's iteration that won over Brie Larson and convinced her to star in Marvel's first female-led solo movie.

(Spoilers ahead for “Captain Marvel.”)
If you’ve seen “Captain Marvel,” then you know that one of the film’s standout characters is Goose, the adorable orange tabby that becomes fast friends with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
Of course, we eventually find out that Goose isn’t a cat at all — it’s actually an alien creature called a “flerken.” So, uh, what the hell is a flerken anyway?
Created in 2014 by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist David Lopez for “Captain Marvel” vol. 8, issue #1, flerkens are a very rare, apparently extremely dangerous alien animal with human-level intellect that just happens to look indistinguishable from earth cats. They’re also able to do some really freaky things.

For starters, they lay eggs and can reproduce asexually, and in great quantities.

Created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Captain Marvel debuted in 1967's Marvel Super-Heroes #12. During the Silver Age, the name belonged to Mar-Vell, a Kree military officer who becomes Earth's protector. In the '80s, Monica Rambeau assumed the title and later became the leader of the Avengers. In the '90s, Rambeau ceded the name to Mar-Vell's son, Genis-Vell, who passed it down to his sister, Phyla-Vell, in the 2000s. In 2012, Carol Danvers, a super-heroine long known as Ms. Marvel, assumed the mantle in a series written by Kelly Sue DeConnick. That series serves as the basis for the twenty-first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (McU), titled Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and starring Academy Award-winner Brie Larson as Marvel Studios' first stand-alone, female-franchise title character. Set in 1995, Captain Marvel sidesteps the traditional origin-story template, with Carol Danvers imbued with the powers of...

Never mind that Captain Marvel can fly. Her greatest superpower — at least in her print incarnation, which has been around since 1968 — may have been surviving misogynistic attacks. These range from a brutal rape in Avengers #200 to an ill-conceived revamping into “Ms. Marvel,” a hyper-sexed caricature of a second-wave feminist, in 1976. Not surprisingly, the upcoming movie version starring Brie Larson as Captain Marvel has also attracted misogynistic trolls — to the extent that Rotten Tomatoes had to curtail the trolls’ ability to post prerelease negative comments.

Everything you need to know about Captain Marvel's feline — or is it flerken? — companion...
If you saw the Captain Marvel trailer or poster, you may have noticed Carol Danvers' furry friend. That little fuzzball is known in the comics as Chewie, Carol’s temperamental cat*. For Marvel’s March 8th Captain Marvel movie, Carol’s pet cat is named Goose. While it’s a bummer that we’re losing the Star Wars reference and original name, at least Goose is still a period-appropriate pop culture reference (Top Gun), for which Carol is known, and still a fellow pilot to boot.
*actual species may vary
What’s a Flerken?
A Flerken is a highly intelligent alien from Earth-58163 that takes the shape of a vicious beast known as a housecat. They’re incredibly rare, and reproduce by laying eggs (although it’s not clear if they require a mate to do so…...

Though Carol Danvers is only just making her big screen debut next year, both the character and the Captain Marvel name have long and frequently separate histories in the comics, raising the question of where the McU plans to start in telling this heroine’s story.
BionicBuzz took the opportunity to enquire on this matter when Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige attended the 2018 Ryan Arts Be A Hero Fundraiser, and based on the producer’s answer, this first movie’s source material will largely be of the recent variety:
“The history of Captain Marvel goes back and is rather confusing. The one we’re doing is based on Carol Danvers and in particular the Kelly Sue DeConnick run, which has only been around the last few years but is really quite inspirational for us.”

Kelly Sue DeConnick previews her upcoming turn as writer on Aquaman.
Aquaman is having a moment. The character will make his solo movie debut in December, Dan Abnett’s recent tenure as writer has been politically prescient, and interest in the character is at an all-time high. This makes the arrival of writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Robson Rocha (Green Lanterns) all the more exciting.
To be clear, DeConnick's run is not a reboot. “Unspoken Water” will pick up with Aquaman #43 in December, launching out of Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV's “Drowned Earth” Justice League/Aquaman crossover.
“80 percent of life on Earth is in the ocean,” DeConnick says. “He is the ocean's protector. If the ocean dies, everything else dies.” But before you start picturing Arthur Curry in Al Gore’s khakis, DeConnick thinks of each of her books in terms of music, and Aquaman is Led Zeppelin,...

First up, the consumer note that I wanted but didn’t get: this is indeed Volume 1 of the books reprinting the 2012 Captain Marvel series written by Kelly Sue DeConnick. (It contains twelve issues and the second volume has five more.) That was preceded by comics called Captain Marvel (just by Marvel, with various people using that superhero moniker) in 2008, 2002, 2000, 1995, 1994, 1989, and 1968, and followed by further Marvel Captain Marvel series in 2014, 2016, and 2017.
So this is nowhere near the beginning of anything. Being a superhero series from one of the Big Two, I shouldn’t have to mention that it’s nowhere near an ending, either.
But, there’s a Captain Marvel movie coming, vaguely sort-of based on this take on the character, so this is the book Marvel is hoping people will buy once they see and like that movie, and this series is also somewhat of a grand-mommy to the recent...

In early September, Brie Larson promised to break the internet with her tease for what became the first reveal of her Captain Marvel costume on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. And while she didn't quite accomplish that goal, she gets another shot with the first trailer release for the film that looks just awesome and ushers in a whole new era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character will be making her debut in the self-titled film coming out in March 2019, which is set in the 1990s and features a much younger Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. From there, Captain Marvel (aka Carol Danvers) jumps to the present wher she goes toe-to-toe with Thanos (the bad guy from Avengers: Infinity War) in May's Avengers 4. Let's not forget that Thanos is the man who provided a smack-down to the Hulk before wiping out half of humanity across the galaxy. Bottom line: she's strong.

The actress posted an image of herself having a glass of champagne and getting stuck into some relevant reading material – Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster, More, the trade paperback of the acclaimed first arc from writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. The comic seems to be an important influence on the movie, too, as Brie Larson previously shared a similar photo of the graphic novel.
