"Where Soy and DeConnick really align and come together is in the smaller moments. Danvers’ floating in space (that counts as smaller, trust me). A coffee date with a a dying friend. A funeral for a hero. These are the pages that will grab you and not let go. They look amazing and by the time you read the words on the last few panels, you’ll be all in. Either that, or you are dead inside and you should have that looked at by a professional."

— Benjamin Bailey’s review of Captain Marvel #1 is spot on.

Someone took the time to put Helen’s letter together:

“Knew you the second you set foot on my property, kid. Even as young as you were, how could I not? Folks want to blame someone for gals like us. “Her daddy was unkind” or “some fella broke her heart” … Hogwash. You and me’ve always been like this. Always a little removed. Always… dreaming.

Of higher, further, faster… more. Always more. We came into this world spittin’ mad, runnin’ full bore… To or from what, I ain’t never been able to tell. Over the years, I’ve come to think of these particular traits as the shared attributes of a chosen people… the Lord put us here to punch holes in the sky.

And when the soul is born with that kind of purpose… It’ll damn sure find a way. We’re gonna get where we’re going, you and me. Death and indignity be damned… we’ll get there…

…And we will be the stars we were always meant to be.”

Helen Cobb, Captain Marvel #1
