Highest, furthest, fastest! Captain Marvel has a new look, a new creative team and a new status quo! When cat burglar Yuna Yang set out to steal the legendary Nega-Bands, she was looking for a quick paycheck. What she got was a free ticket to the Negative Zone - and permanent entanglement with Carol Danvers! Permanent until death, that is. And it doesn't look like Yuna's going to make it to old age - not with the Omen hot on her tail and hungry for the bands' power! Meanwhile, Carol's got to get these blasted bangles off and reclaim her life - and who better to ask for advice than the Sorcerer Supreme Clea Strange? Because the more Carol keeps getting bounced into the Negative Zone, the more likely it is she'll have to face Blastaar the Living Bomb-Burst! Collecting CAPTAIN MARVEL (2023) #1-4.
Alyssa Wong is a multi-award-winning writer of poetry, short fiction, comic books and video games. She won a legion of new fans at Marvel with her work on Aero, as well as one-shots featuring Shang-Chi and Luna Snow. In addition to helming the adventures of the galaxy’s greatest rogue archaeologist in Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, she has written Iron Fist, featuring a new hero taking on the heroic mantle, and the Alligator Loki Infinity Comic. Wong also worked as a writer on video game phenomenon Overwatch.

Jan Bazaldua brought her hyperkinetic art style to Spider-Man for a star-marking run with writer Brian Michael Bendis as the young Miles Morales took on the all-new Sinister Six. She burnished her reputation on titles including Mr and Mrs X and Loki, and her fast-growing list of Marvel credits now includes X-Force, Winter Guard and a trip to the far-off galaxy of Star Wars.
