Finally got to get back into it. Lots of things I could remark upon, but this stood out. It felt so real. In fact, all these inserted bits (chat logs, personal logs, news snippets, interviews, and the like) have been such a highlight.

You said in an interview that you paid special attention to the Binary section of her life, and reading it now, I can tell. This was BEAUTIFUL. Can't wait to read the rest and see how you enhanced this sadly underwritten part of her life.

So far I've only noticed a single discontinuity; pretty impressive, if you ask me. This is an email from Wanda just as Ms. Marvel joins the Avengers, around Avengers #183. Wanda calls her Carol Danvers, but she wouldn't know her real identity until some time later, in Avengers #198. A small mistake!

For a Carol Danvers title to find true LASTING success, it needs to be a book that only Carol Danvers could headline. It can't be a generic interchangeable superheroine title. If you're the writer and your story could star any other powerful Marvel lady, scrap it and start over.

Much of this is obviously just my preference, such as the cosmic focus and new look. I freely admit there are many ways to achieve the same goal, which is the crucial part so I'll re-state it plainly: above anything else, a new Captain Marvel book needs specificity.

4B) I'm not picky about what Carol's costume should look like; just what it should signify. Still, I'm thinking something in the vein of Alex Ross's unused design; not specifically, just the vibe. Something that pops, that feels instantly classic and echoes all of her history.

4) Last (and admittedly least): a new LOOK. I love the Bartel jacket suit, but it was created for a run that didn't go well, so an inventive new run that follows the earlier precepts could be aided by a look that emphasises a more thought-out tone and a focus on Carol's history.

3B) Carol was in outer space as Binary from 1982 to 1993... but mostly off-page. We should get to know more about that underdeveloped era beyond a generic "she knows space stuff": be inventive; create specific history, not for fanservice but to harness it for CURRENT stories.

3) Flowing from that, Captain Marvel needs a run with a sense of HISTORY; a story that takes all of her background into account, not just the MCU-fied pilot era. For example, she should resort to using her spycraft when needed, and to her knowledge of space cultures and politics.

2) Connected to that, the writer needs to actually have a TAKE. An engaging high concept for the story, and a knowledge of the character's history beyond "generic badass superheroine", all of it harnessed for a highly specific take on what a Carol Danvers book could UNIQUELY be.

1) Most of all, I believe a Carol Danvers book needs a new TONE. Instead of another excessively YA-centric, generically "inspiring" superheroine story, she needs a character-centric title that lives up to her specific potential; be it cosmic, space politics, or spycraft-related.

With this year-long Captain Marvel hiatus, I hope editorial has used the time to find a writer with an engaging concept and a fitting artist. Here's what I think the title needs to succeed going forward: a new tone; a unique take; a sense of history; and a new look.

Your honor, this is a lesbian drowning in comp-het. It's hilarious that Carol has sizzling chemistry with several women, with whom she has no issue being quite affective, but with any man he dates it's... like this. Like bros.

Anthony Oliveira's disdain for Carol and Rhodey's utterly sauceless, chemistry-starved relationship gives me life. "I'm afraid all we have in common is all we have in common." Indeed!

I'm selling Ed Brubaker's entire Captain America run, the 5 omnibus volumes, for €399, by the way, which is QUITE cheap as these things go. I'm willing to accept a lower offer if someone buys them soon, too.

Nice of Ewing to connect the dots Cates didn't bother to connect in his Thor run when he brought Blake back. Maybe he just didn't know Blake's latest status quo? Either way, nice touch by Ewing to fill in the gap between where Fraction left Blake and where Cates inexplicably picked him up.

Uh can someonw explain? I haven't even been posting here. Was I on a list or something?

Then again this was me in 2012 (and it got much MUCH worse, except I didn't let myself get photographed by then, very much like Bigfoot). So... I've always been wildly fluctuating. I'm sure it's perfectly healthy!

I'm looking back at old FB photos from 6-to-7 years ago, and it does hurt a little, because in a way I barely recognize myself but in another way this is the "me" in my head until I surprise myself in the mirror, you know? It's not a great feeling.

Man I miss when I looked like this. My top form, Summer 2015, apparently. If I keep it up maybe I can get there again in a year or two... albeit almost a decade older and with less hair!

This past weekend Ainhoa and I enjoyed a pretty special long weekend on Strasbourg (and Baden-Baden, my first proper time in Germany... and at a nudist bath, which was incredible!) with our friends Pauline, Jhonn and their baby 🙂

Also: I CANNOT believe this nonsensical, alienating solicit text actually makes sense to me now. Still not sure it's a great way to sell books, but I know Hickman hates solicits spoilers, and now I can't wait to learn more about the Centum and Cubisk Core, so... the joke's on me?
