Captain Marvel Masterworks 1 (Marvel Super-Heroes 12-13, Captain Marvel 1-9; w Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Arnold Drake; a Gene Colan, Don Heck). [From Marvel Comics: There’s no question we’re back and better than ever, so brace yourself for the fabulous 50th Masterworks volume featuring a brand new Silver Age success story—Captain Marvel! That’s right, True Believers, the space-born super hero is coming at you with scintillating science fiction in the Mighty Marvel Manner! Crafted by the titanic talents of Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gene Colan with a hearty helping from inheritors Arnold Drake and Don Heck, you’re going to need your breathing potion to keep up with the Kree Captain! Branded a traitor by the vicious Colonel Yon-Rogg of the Kree for defending the people of Earth, Captain Mar-Vell assumes the human identity of Walter Lawson and becomes the planet’s protector against an awesome array of interstellar baddies! Prepare to batten down the hatches for battles with the massive Sentry #459, the savage Super-Skrull, Prince Namor of Atlantis himself and Quasimodo the Living Computer! While you’re at it don’t forget to grab some tissues for the heartbroken Medic Una as the good Captain falls for Avenger-to-be Carol Danvers in her first-ever appearance!] Old Book of the Week 12/21/05: The original Captain Marvel didn't really hit its stride until Jim Starlin took over, but these early issues (of a series designed mainly to stake a claim to the title Captain Marvel) have their own goofy charm, especially for us old fogies with fond memories. The art by Gene Colan manages to shine through Vinnie Colletta's inks in the early issues, and the story is an interesting artifact of the pre-Apollo space race. A bonus is the delightfully awful attempt to portray a liberated woman in security chief Carol Danvers, who somehow manages to hit all the stereotypes she is supposed to be breaking. The later issues settle into monster of the month mode, but overall this is a worthwhile book for those stricken by green and white nostalgia. 
Captain Marvel Masterworks 2 (10-21; w Roy Thomas, Arnold Drake, Gary Friedrich, Archie Goodwin; a Gene Colan, Don Heck, Gil Kane, Dick Ayers, John Buscema, Tom Sutton, Frank Springer). [From Marvel Comics: Get ready for the trip of a lifetime with another all-out, cosmic classic, Captain Marvel Masterworks!
The space-born hero Mar-Vell's continuing battle against the vicious Kree Colonel Yon-Rogg continues in this second sensational volume.

But the true transformation comes when the titanic team of writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane combine to take the man long torn between two planets and two loves, and tear him between two people! You’ll see the truly cosmic Captain don the Nega-Bands that bond him to Rick Jones for the first time in one of Mar-Vell - and Marvel's - greatest moments!

The Life of Captain Marvel (25-34, Iron Man 55, Marvel Feature
12; w & a Jim Starlin). [Collected in The Life and
Death of Captain Marvel.] 
The Life and Death of Captain Marvel (25-34, Iron Man 55, Marvel Feature 12, Death of Captain Marvel OGN; w & a Jim Starlin). [From Marvel Comics: Mar-Vell was a captain in the armed forces of an alien race known as the Kree. He came to Earth as a spy for his people, but once he became associated with the human race, he could not fulfill his mission. He assumed the role of Earth's greatest defender against alient threats. Throughout his distinguished career, the heroic Captain Marvel battled supervillains and deadly menaces from other worlds, never once relenting. Eventually, he would succumb to a power far greater than he: cancer. The story is unique in its realistic portrayal of death and the limits of even the most powerful of beings. The emotionally charged Death of Captain Marvel set the standard in using superheroes to tell realistic, human stories. As Mar-Vell comes to terms with his fate, heroes gather by his side to pay a moving, final farewell to one of their own. This newly re-colored edition by the legendary Jim Starlin collects the long out-of-print Life of Captain Marvel paperback and the acclaimed Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel.] Old Book of the Week 8/18/04
The Death of Captain Marvel (OGN; w & a Jim Starlin). Trade Paperback List 1000th Cover contest winner, chosen by njerry: "It was one of Marvel's first OGNs, and it represented the kind of stories that Marvel initially used that format for -- special stories with major impact, that deserved something more than the standard 32-page "floppy" format. The story was also the Coda of Jim Starlin's long-spanning space saga featuring Thanos, Moondragon, and the magnificent cast that he developed over the course of those early Mar-Vell and Warlock stories."

First Contact (0, 1-6; w Peter David; a Chriscross).
[From Marvel Comics: A hero, again! The universe has been saved from
an alternate reality, time-manipulated, bipolar conundrum conceived by a
tyrant ruler from the far-off, post-armageddon future. Yeah. Isn't it always?
But what's a hero to do after the universe is saved? What happens when the
worst thing you can imagine fighting against—you've already fought
against? If you're Rick Jones, mere mortal, you know better than to hope
for a long vacation. After all, Rick Jones, mere mortal, was partially responsible
for the creation of the Hulk, he was Captain America's partner—the
new Bucky—for all of a week; was responsible for winning the Kree/Skrull
War; became a soldier in the Space Knights War against the Dire Wraiths
on Earth; and was the cavalry itself at the close of Avengers Forever. And
now, he is linked to the son of the original Kree warrior, Captain Marvel,
and ready to face the cosmos itself. Join Peter David and ChrisCross for
a ride unlike any other, not to mention a look at the funnier side of the
Marvel Universe in the first collection of Captain Marvel's all-new, all-different
adventures!] 
1 Nothing to Lose (1-6; w Peter David; a Chriscross, Ivan Reis).
[From Marvel Comics: He is the son of Mar-Vell, once the greatest
warrior the galaxy had ever known. Spawned in a test tube and prematurely
aged to maturity, Genis now struggles to fill the boots of his late father--the
boots of Captain Marvel. Therein lies the problem. For Genis has inherited
his father's greatest gift, the ability of Cosmic Awareness, a oneness with
the universe that allows him to know what will happen, what may happen,
and what should happen to every living thing in the universe. You might
think such knowledge would drive a person mad... and you'd be right.]
2 Coven (7-12; w Peter David; a Ivan Reis, Kyle Hotz).
[From Marvel Comics: Karl Coven is a serial killer sentenced to die
for his crimes, and Rick Jones the star witness in the prosecution’s
case. Claiming to be an alien not subject to our laws, Coven’s argument
is dismissed, but he gets the last laugh by promptly returning back to life
immediately after his death sentence is executed. When a loophole in the
legal system requires Coven to be set free, he comes to the attention of
Captain Marvel, who’s intrigued by the mysterious figure not only because
of his apparent resurrection and immunity to Genis’ Cosmic Awareness,
but by the peculiarities of the judicial system that let the killer go free.
Rather than annihilate Coven, he suggests that they become the law: Coven
to be prosecution, and Marvel to be judge.] 
3 Crazy Like a Fox (13-18; w Peter Davis; a Michael Ryan, Paul
Azaceta). [From Marvel Comics: The complications
continue to pile up for Captain Marvel as the return of his long-thought-dead
mother and the arrival of a new female Captain Marvel force Genis to re-evaluate
his life and role in the universe.] 
4 Odyssey (19-25; w Peter Davis;
a Aaron Lopresti). [From Marvel Comics: It’s
the long-awaited return of Rick Jones’ wife, Marlo. But her arrival
may not be the upbeat event Rick had been hoping for... especially when
the first thing she attempts to do is annihilate the new Captain Marvel!
In trying to head off the horrible fate awaiting Marlo, Marv begins an odyssey
into the future — where he immediately discovers he’s the only
being in the universe capable of saving the Earth from a conquering, power-hungry
alliance of the Kree, Skrull and Shi'ar!] Book of the Week 9/15/04Marvel Boy
Marvel Knights.
Marvel Boy (6-issue mini; w Grant Morrison; a
J. G. Jones). [A quasi alternate-universe Captain Mar-Vell;
a second series has been rumored for some time now, but Morrison says Marvel
shot it down. From Marvel Comics: Marvel Boy, a.k.a. Noh-Varr of
the Kree Empire, last survivor of a doomed starship. He's seen good friends
killed by sheer ignorance and hate, and his welcome to Earth has consisted
of imprisonment and torture. Now he's angry—and if necessary, he'll
take on our entire planet in the name of love, justice, and the freedom
to ride in his spaceship. His Mission: to change the world. Doctor Midas,
pirate, scavenger, multi-trillionaire. He's everything Noh-Varr hates, in
one shiny gold package. Oubliette, daughter of Midas, daddy's girl ripe
for rebellion. Is she too hideous to bear, or too beautiful] Old Book of the Week 5/10/06: More Morrison, this virtual Ultimatization of the old Captain Marvel book (with intriguing new analogs of Captain America, the Hulk, and Iron Man thrown in for good measure) is Morrison at his best (if lightest), throwing off more ideas and concepts per issue than many writers get in their entire career. It has long been rumored that this is the secret first Ultimate book Joe Quesada has mentioned—if so, it has been superceded by Ellis's Ultimate Galactus series, but it still stands as a fascinating look into another reality, and makes me sad that Marvel was short-sighted enough to veto Morrison's ideas for a Marvel Boy sequel and an Ultimate FF series. Morrison is now one of the main architects of the new DC Universe, a role which I think he'd be even more suited for at Marvel, if they'd only let him.
