I managed to read my coworkers copy, it was fan freaking tastic..
I say Carol should get her own movie now, and Yvonne Strahovski for Carol Danvers!

What do they mean by sold out? I went to my comic book store today and the shelf was still full with first prints?

@xNightwingx

It means that all the copies that Marvel initially printed were sold. In other words, the distributors sold them all to the comic shops. Personally, I would like to know the actual number of copies that were distributed.

If they can bring back Bucky, then they can bring back Mar-Vell, too. Revert Danvers back to Ms. Marvel...how hard is that?

I'm still not sure about a Capt./Ms. Marvel movie, but I could see them including Carol Danvers in a SHIELD movie or whatever, and then she becomes Marvel in Avengers 3 (Kree vs. Skrull maybe?).

That's awesome. I feel like checking this out myself.

Marvel Studios needs to do a Ms. Marvel movie. Get some great writers on board, and it would kick so much ass.

@patriautism Yvonne Strahovski is my top choice for the role. I can't think of any other actress that is more perfect for Ms. Marvel.

@Intruder That's Carol saying "that was a huge mistake."

The art on the cover is totally different from the comic itself. It was one of the better 1st issues I've read. Not to spoil but her costume has some STARKTECH in it.

You guys complaining about the "Captain" part of her name do realize that she called herself Ms. Marvel in homage to Captain Marvel to begin with, right?

Also, she hasnt been in the military in forever. Maybe you guys should actually read the issue and see exactly why she changed her name before you make complaints.

Oh wait.....I forgot where I am for a minute there.

@ inky

Its carol danvers in the present, and if anything she's more powerful. Not tamed.

Eh, I'm all for calling her Captain Marvel (had one in the 80s complete with a fro), I don't really care one way or the other, but the Warbird/Ms Marvel outfit is simply sublime and total win, so I want that one back. That is all.

Second prints don't mean what they used to. Marvel is well known to hold down printing of first-print stories of key books like #1's , then do a second print when the first run amazingly sells out (and that does mean that all comics were sold to comic shops and other distributors, not that every copy has been sold to a collector or reader).

Where's the mask. Oh that's right can't have that so there's a way out for the movie version because masks are silly in movie versions. Another Disney move I wonder?
