The CAPTAIN MARVEL Countdown Thread

Because why not? Every day from now on I will post a cover from a Carol Danvers solo comic, from the first issue of Ms Marvel to the end of Kelly Sue DeConnick's run.

Now let's just hope the movie is good because there's nothing more pathetic than counting down to a crappy movie.

 

113 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #1
"This Woman, This Warrior!"

In which Carol Danvers begins her superhero career by dumping a vat full of chemicals on poor Scorpion.​

 

112 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #2
"Enigma of Fear!"

In which Carol Danvers hangs out with Mary Jane. Their deep friendship will last... a couple of issues, I think.​

 

111 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #3
"The Lady's Not for Killing!"

In which Carol Danvers slams the door, even though JJJ asked her not to.​

 

110 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #4
"Death Is the Doomsday Man!"

In which Doomsday Man fails to live up to the hype and doesn't kill anyone.​

 

109 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #5
"Bridge of No Return"

In which Ms. Marvel and Vision meet for the first time and beat the crap out of each other.​

 

108 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #6
"...And Grotesk Shall Slay Thee!"

In which Ms. Marvel fights Grotesk! For that is the name given Prince Gor-Tok of Subterranea by us surface dwellers when he first appeared on our hellish world.​

 

107 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #7
"Nightmare!"

In which Carol Danvers has a vision of herself kissing MODOK. If that doesn't count as a nightmare then I don't know what does.​

 

106 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #8
"The Last Sunset?"

In which Jacko the robber picks a fight with the wrong woman and gets thoroughly ass-kicked.​

 

105 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #9
"Call Me Death-Bird!"

In which Ms. Marvel finally gets rid of her terrible first costume.

This issue is full of great moments, but I'm especially fond of this one:

​

 

104 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #10
"Cry Murder -- Cry MODOK!"

In which at one point Death-Bird wonders what is happening, and...

​

 

103 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #11
"Day of the Dark Angel!"

In which Carol Danvers wishes she'd stayed in bed.

Best moment of the issue:

​

 

102 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #12
"The Warrior and the Witch-Queen!"

In which it is established that Ms. Marvel doesn't take kindly to threats from some two bit, self-styled goddess.​

 

101 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #13
"Homecoming!"

In which Ms. Marvel randomly finds herself fighting these two losers on the cover. Who are they? No one cares.​

 

I have no idea what is going on and I don't care. My countdown is correct, screw what the rest of the world says.

 

100 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #14
"Fear Stalks Floor 40"

In which Carol Danvers is forced to confront the scariest enemy of all: patriarchy!

This is a very good issue, but the best part has got to be Dracula's spectacularly random cameo:

​

 

99 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #15
"The Shark Is a Very Deadly Beast!"

In which Ms. Marvel punches a mentally challenged person. To be fair to her though, that person punched her first.​

 

98 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #16
"The Deep Deadly Silence!"

In which Ms. Marvel almost sacrifices herself to save Namorita. My hero.

And here's her doing some nonsensical science-y stuff. Apparently Carol used to be smarter than she is now.

​

 

97 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #17
"Shadow of the Gun!"

In which we learn that nobody can snowball Carol Danvers, former terror of Webster Elementary, and get away with it.​

 

96 days until Captain Marvel



Ms. Marvel Vol 1 #18
"The St. Valentine's Day/Avengers Massacre!"

In which Ms. Marvel uses poor Wonder Man as a throwing weapon. No, seriously.
