"Talk about reflected glory: As Ms. Marvel, Air Force Major Carol Danvers has been kicking around the Marvel Universe for decades, ever since acquiring her amazing powers simply by standing next to male hero Captain Marvel during an explosion. But in this new series, writer DeConnick has Carol assume the title of Captain Marvel herself, ditch her cheesecake getup for a flight suit, and set off on a temporal adventure that allies her with a squadron of female World War II fighter pilots. Publishers like to tout their “strong female characters.” But in the hands of DeConnick, they’ve found something far better — a rounded, compelling, inspirational hero who happens to be a woman."
