Captain Marvel # 1 2014 NM-

Captain Marvel # 1 (2014) marks a significant relaunch for Carol Danvers, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by David López. It is the first issue of the series subtitled "Higher, Further, Faster, More," which served as a major inspiration for the 2019 Captain Marvel film. 

The story finds Carol Danvers at a personal and professional crossroads. After months as an Earth-bound hero, she makes a dramatic decision to leave the planet and venture into deep space to find a new mission. 

• Deep Space Mission: Carol encounters an alien girl named Tic and takes on a mission to return her to her homeworld.
• Galactic Conflict: This journey pulls her into a conflict between the Galactic Alliance and the Spartax, as she defends refugees from forced resettlement.
• Guest Appearances: The issue and subsequent arc feature the Guardians of the Galaxy and fellow Avengers like James Rhodes (Iron Patriot) in flashbacks.
• The Flerken Connection: This series introduces the Flerken (disguised as Carol's cat, Chewie), a key element later popularized by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
