"When former U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers was caught in the explosion of an alien device called Psyche-Magnitron, she was transformed into one of the world's most powerful super beings. She now uses her abilities to protect her planet and fight for justice as an Avenger. She is Earth's Mightest Hero...she is... CAPTAIN MARVEL!" 
 Most people would probably find being a superhero enough to fill their lives with excitement, but Captain Marvel isn't most people and is feeling restless. So when Tony Stark pitches Carol the idea of sending an Avenger into space to head off some of the cosmic threats she jumps at the chance. Her first assignment is to return a comatose alien who made it to Earth back to her home planet, and along the way Carol bumps into the Guardians of the Galaxy. Even though she's making plenty of new friends Carol finds herself in a complicated mess involving the forced evacuation of an entire planet of sick aliens and the Spartax Empire.. 
 This isn't anything groundbreaking, but it is a fun Marvel space adventure that I found enjoyable overall. This current incarnation of Carol Danvers is rich from a character standpoint. She's a confident and powerful superhero whose background as a military officer gives her an appreciation for discipline and order, but she has a taste for adventure. She's also not above enjoying a good brawl and kicking the crap out of people who deserve it, and her actions helping the aliens out show how much backbone she has. Her interaction with the Guardians provides some good laughs, and I particularly liked Rocket's freak out over Carol's pet cat that she brought to space with her.
