The Life Of Captain Marvel (The Life Of Captain Marvel (2018) Book 1) Kindle & comiXology
She’s one of the mightiest heroes not just on Earth but in the entire galaxy! Now learn exactly how Carol Danvers became the woman she is — the Avenger she is — in the definitive origin of Captain Marvel! When sudden, crippling anxiety attacks sideline Carol in the middle of a fight, she finds herself reliving memories of a life she thought was far behind her. You can’t outrun where you’re from — and sometimes, you have to go home again. But while Carol takes a temporary leave from duty to unravel her past, trouble comes looking for her. A weapon has been unleashed, and Carol’s sleepy coastal town is about to become the center of its world. But there are skeletons in Captain Marvel’s closet — and what she discovers will change her entire life!

Her and Joe Jr. have words about her not being there when dad was sick and not being there much since. Carol points out that Joe always sticks up for dad even though he did some terrible things. They are at the cemetery at his grave having this argument when Joe, who had been drinking, drives off and crashes his car. Carol saves his life, but he's in a coma and paralyzed. Instead of going back to the Avengers she stays with her mother and helps to take care of Joe.
Then she stumbles upon some old love letters her dad wrote to a woman and a mechanical device that she inadvertently turns on which is a beacon that leads to the Krill home planet and leads a woman to head toward Earth. Is she the woman her dad had the affair with? Or is she someone dangerous to the family? When she arrives she has come to fight Carol's mother who is really Mari-El and a Krill. So, Carol really got her powers from her mother, not Marv-el. The woman takes Joe and mother and daughter must fight to get him back.
This comic was incredible in its depth of characterization. Carol dealing with her family issues and finding out about the truth about her parents and learning what led to her father's drinking and perhaps leading to some understanding and forgiveness of her father. The artwork was also amazing for example when Tony appears in electrical ghostlike form to talk to Carol about coming back to the Avengers. Or the black and white funeral scene that is haunting. This is a great book and I give it five out of five stars.
and introduces a side of Carol even long time Marvelites never knew existed. Until someone comes up with something better, Make Mine Captain Marvel!
I'm not sure what I expected here, but this simple one shot was just a quick retcon of Carol's origin. Heavy with sad memories, but not really consequentual. She was still hit by the Kree psychemagnitron, but it didn't giver her powers; it activated them. She is half Kree. Not a bad story, but just a quick read that has too little meat to stand out.
