Well, if it worked for She-Hulk and Spider-girl (MC-2), then it can work for Carol Danvers. Here's to 100 issues and here is hoping for more.
I get summing up legacy numbering for titles that have essential always been ongoing despite renumbering or rebranding, i.e Amazing Spider-man, Fantastic Four, Uncanny X-Men, but when theres literally been years between published volumes it seems kinda hokey. :/

EEEEEEEEE THEY REMEMBERED!
And I'll never stop marking out for callback covers! Been a while since Carol had that treatment and last time it was a Marvel Zombies-themed variant that didn't kick quite as much ass as this one.
Woo hoo!
Though in all seriousness, you could argue that Captain Marvel #10 is her 104th. The Brian Reed series had it's "Giant Size Ms. Marvel" intro issue, plus an annual, plus two one-shots that looks like they aren't being included in the math. I guess it's 100 numbered issues, not counting miscellany.
... but anyway, it's an awesome milestone for any character to hit, regardless of the nitty gritty math details. Yay Carol!

That is really reaching for a milestone.
Still better than Ultimate Spider-Man 200.
And about the news, great, they remember it! The cover is cool, can't wait for this!

Those who embrace nature are in turn embraced by her.
I can see them trying to get the sales and I didn't even notice the price increase. It can't be the 100th issue of Ms. Marvel because everyone hates that name for Carol now and consider it as obsolete as everything else I used to like about her, it can't even be the 100th anniversary of when Carol first showed up because she was around before she was Ms. Marvel. They want to do something to justify the price increase I guess this is as good a reason as any. Well I hope it works for them.
Huh, I didn't see this coming at all. Not even in the back of my mind. But I'm glad she getting the attention, and hopefully it will be a really good issue. Besides, the cover is pretty awesome.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Can Marvel retired that ghastly faux-hawk helmet. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea?!
Wow Carol, only took you 4 cancellations! Congrats, everyone clearly loves you! Hopefully you play with your cat some more in this spectacular anniversary issue! Maybe you'll knit Chewie a commemorative sweater even!
It's the 100th issue of Carol Danvers as a solo character, regardless of the name she uses.
I like the helmet. And Jamie McKelvie thought it was a good idea, and he's probably got the best fashion sense of all comic artists. I seriously want him to be the one who designs all costumes from now on. And it's not just because of Captain Marvel's uniform, either - the guy's just got a fantastic design sense.
A lot of you guys are saying "its just so they can increase the price on us" like they're not also increasing the page count...
