I went to buy comics yesterday and they were sold out of CM #10! Dammit!
Indeed! A great reminder of when Carol Danvers became the all new fighting fury Ms. Marvel who would eventually evolve into the cosmically charged Binary!

THANK YOU Chris Claremont and the late Dave Cockrum for the all new fighting fury Ms. Marvel and the cosmically charged Binary.
how extensive is carol's rogue's gallery at this point? Anyone got a comprehensive list?
She doesn't really have much of an established rogue's gallery at the moment. At least not compared to a lot of other heroes.
-Mystique (she was kind of a Carol enemy at one point, but hasn't been used in that way for a LONG time. Plus Marvel cannot use her in the films).
-Moonstone.
-Grace Valentine.
-Yon-Rogg (I'd make him the main villain for Carol's first film. Moonstone in a potential sequel).
-The Brood, kind of (IDK if Marvel can use them on film either).
That's all that I can think of right now (someone feel free to add more if you're aware of any).
I feel like "Marvel" is an established brand by this point, an IT sells tickets. I know lots of non-comic book fans who go and see Marvel films precisely BECAUSE Marvel is making them. Slap "from the studio who brought you The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, and Guardians of the Galaxy" onto the marketing campaign and you'll probably convince quite a few people to check the movie out just based on that.
Yeah Marvel could sell Snow to Eskimos at this point.
Moonstone could be cool. Doesn't she have the same/similar powers to Captain Marvel?
Similar with some differences, yeah. And Moonstone keeps getting shoved into Carol's costume, whether she wants to or not.
I think they're a great hero/villain pair, though when they last went up against each other to any real extent (back in the Reed series), I never felt that Karla was used to her full potential as a villain. They basically went for a high-powered slugfest - which while fun, isn't terribly interesting.
I think the reason Karla is a fantastic foil for Carol is that messing with people's heads is her specialty - and something Carol is historically kind of susceptible to.
