[QUOTE=lilyinblue;10202]Well you know how all superhero friendships start:
Step 1) Two superpeople/animals meet.
Step 2) There's some big misunderstanding.
Step 3) They beat each other up because violence solves everything.
Step 4) Then they realize they're on the same side and the villain just got away.[/QUOTE]
That's just hilarious. LOL

Watch your language here! :eek:

This all makes me curious why she was chosen to make over into a superhero. Was that Conway's choice?
In my book, Claremont did a fair job of writing her for the era, but once she made it into the main Avengers book as a regular, she became more of a straw feminist, although that was far from the only time she came across as a token.
(Also out of curiosity...it's kind of interesting that while everyone's embraced the suit and helmet, nobody seems to draw her fauxhawk anymore?)

So, not to break up the conversation, but fun little story.
So the other day my co-worker comes into work and tells me about her eleven year old daughter has become interested in superheroes after watching Thor 2. Okay, so naturally I lend her the various Marvel films so this little girl can enjoy the Avengers in all its built-up glory. And my co-worker asks if there are any good comics I'd recommend for her, and obviously my first thought is "Captain Marvel." (Sorry Wonder Woman, but you're a little too horror-themed right now)
So last Wednesday I grabbed the first three issues of KSD's first run. I know, not a popular story here, but it seemed like the place to start. Saw my co-worker today, handed off the books, and Im happy to say that we know have a brand new Captain Marvel fan in the world. :D

I still liked that arc, no matter what the rest of you say!
... and thank you for recruiting a new member into the cult. You are one step closer to meeting your monthly quota. ;)

I think they intentionally changed her hair for this series. I actually liked the fauxhawk, but it doesn't really seem appropriate for a retired colonel to me. It seems more like something a teen hero would wear.

Hahaha, okay, so Chewie and Lucky have a big super-pet face-off, and then team up to fight against.... who? Does Doctor Doom have any pets? He seems like a guy that might have evil pets.

My understanding is that primarily Marvel just wanted to publish a comic called "Ms Marvel". It was probably a trademark thing (also see: Spider-Woman and She-Hulk). Conway's pitch is the one they accepted.
I'm too lazy to dig out my copy of the 1976 issue, but in the letters page editorial Conway mentioned that there were other Ms Marvel concepts before he came aboard.

I think they explained in-universe that Carol's hair grew so fast because of her powers, and eventually she just gave up trying to cut it.

If there's a DC/Marvel crossover they can meet Power Girl's cat Stinky.

That's awesome!! Good job! Yes it is kind of sad that the premier super heroine doesn't have a book that can be given to young girls any more. But Captain Marvel is an excellent option!! I liked the initial arc a lot. Again, good job!

I want to see a paradigm shift where Wonder Woman is no longer the de facto 'premier' super hero for girls. Obviously, I would prefer that Carol gained that title, but Wonder Woman is still drawn as eye candy straight guys with arrested emotional development (in my opinion). Captain Marvel, Batgirl, and Ms Marvel (Black Widow & Elektra might be a little too violent for some parents, while She-Hulk's legal drama might not connect with kids) are currently better choices for introducing younger girls to comics (not that girls should be relegated to titles featuring female characters), in my opinion.

An even better paradigm is the one where there is no defacto one... but there's lots of choices with Carol just one of many.
