Margaret Stohl wrote the Captain Marvel comic series for Marvel starting in 2017, and these graphic novels collect that run. The Mighty Captain Marvel Vol. 1 picks up with Carol Danvers leading Alpha Flight, Earth’s first line of defense in space, while also dealing with the fallout of Civil War II.
The Life of Captain Marvel takes a different approach, digging into Carol’s childhood and family history. It reveals new details about her origins and her relationship with her mother. This volume was released just ahead of the 2019 Captain Marvel film and served as a good entry point for readers coming from the movie.
Stohl brought her prose writing skills to the comics format, and her run focused on Carol’s personal life as much as the action. These collected editions are a solid way to read the complete story in order without tracking down individual issues.
