Comics Review: Captain Marvel #1

First off, why does Pete look like Andrew Garfield? I think IGN said online that this may hint at Danvers in a potential role in some marvel film, that's why she got her showcase comic. I guess we will see. The story starts with a battle between Absorbing Man, Ms. Marvel, and Cap. Danvers makes a lot of jokes, but saves the day in the end. Cap urges her to take on the name of Captain Marvel. Although initially against it because of the late Mar-Vell who held it before her, some reflection caused her to adopt the name. She talks about her hero, a female pilot named Helen who held many records. We get a flashback of her visiting Helen as a child. While visiting her friend in the city, Carol hears about Helen's death, and then scatters her ashes in space. So far, a decent story, I'm interested to see where it goes for here. I really started reading it because IGN gave it a good review.
