Art for the relaunched Captain Marvel series is redefining her energy powers for the dawn of the character's new era. This new series, combined with The Marvels hitting theaters in November, suggests Carol Danvers is about to close out 2023 with a bang, as she continues to ascend to the status of Marvel Comics' premiere hero.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Captain Marvel #1 – from writer Alyssa Wong, and artist Jan Bazaldua, taking over after Kelly Thompson's historic 50-issue run with the character – will reshape the landscape of Captain Marvel stories, including new allies, new villains, a new look, and upgrades to her powers.One of those things may be Carol forming her energy into physical objects, like a sword as seen in Joshua "Sway" Swaby's gorgeous variant cover.
Captain Marvel #1 kicks off with a reality-devouring entity known as the Undone targeting Carol Danvers, after realizing that Captain Marvel is the only hero powerful enough to stop it. Taking Carol out of the game is easier said than done, as many villains before have learned. With superhuman strength and durability, even if the Undone is resistant to her energy blasts, the fact that she won't stay down in a fight can be even harder to deal with.
The More Carol Changes, The More She Stays The Same Carol's strength will be tested in every way during her fight with the Undone, and its harbinger the Omen – and as Joshua Swaby's art for the debut issue hints, this Captain Marvel series will feature the character's powers evolving to meet the challenge in front of her.
