Hey folks, sorry to have been away for so long. I've been busy with other
things lately and the site just got put on the back burner for a while. I'm
working on some new sections right now, and hope to have them up soon. I also
expect to be getting back on track with the issue database and bios in the near
future.

I've added a Sales Chart and a Price Guide to the site. And I've still got a couple
of other ones up my sleeve. However, I was unable to as accurate numbers as I
had hoped for for the first seven issues. I've checked ICv2 (which only goes as
far back as Feb. 2001), Diamond, Usenet and Comic Book Resources so far. There
are still some other sites out there that I'll look at later. If anyone knows
where sales numbers can be found for these issues please email me.

Marvel held a conference call about the U-DECIDE event and, once again, Newsarama has the scoop. Here's
what Peter David had to say about Captain Marvel:
“What I'm really trying to do is write a book about how an alien perceives
this world, and is trying to both live in it, and make it someplace that will
respond to him,” said David. “Thus far in the series, Captain Marvel, who is
molecularly bonded to Rick Jones, a long-time denizen of the Marvel Universe,
has been trying to get a handle on what the Marvel Universe is about - he's
confused, he's puzzled. My God - who can blame him?
”So now, with the relaunch, Captain Marvel has reached a new point in his
development. He has now grown up enough so that he thinks he can get a handle
on the world. If anything, he's more like a combination of a toddler and a
teenager, which is extremely dangerous. At this point in his development,
cosmic awareness is the equivalent of taking a new driver and putting him
behind the wheel of a Porsche. He figures that he's immortal, he figures that
he knows exactly how to do it - gimme the keys and stand back and watch my dust.
”That's exactly where Captain Marvel finds himself, and we frequently know
what happens with sixteen year olds who get into that mindset. In the first
issue, to all intents and purposes, wraps himself around a cosmic awareness
tree. The question is going to be where do you go from there?”
Sounds pretty interesting. For the full story click here.

I've added a brief review of Issue #0 which
was packaged with Wizard 2000 all those years ago. Figured I might as well
start at the beginning of the series and work my way forward. I also added a wallpapers page. There aren't any Captain Marvel
ones there yet but I'm working on'em. Finally, I've updated the Supporting Cast section up to the end of issue #32.
I should be getting #33 sometime soon so I'll have al the stuff up relating to
that then.

According to Newsarama, Genis
may apparently be getting a new look, one similar to the design of the Alex
Ross alternate cover for issue #1 of the relaunch. Here's what
Peter David had to say:
“It will indeed be the new look for Captain Marvel, but not as of issue #1.
And it will dovetail with the story, and yes, there will be an explanation as
to why a guy who can blast photonic energy out of his hands is now packing
heat.”
Don't know what I think about this. I really like the current costume
design, but David's comments have piqued my curiosity. Guess we'll find out in
September. For the full story click here.

Hello there. I'd like to give you all a big warm welcome to Trading Spaces!
For anyone that knows (or cares) I used to run an X-Men site called Planet X
but I had to take it down in January due to a lack of time. I had originally
planned to have this site launched a couple months ago but I still had no time.
Well, my schedule has slacked off recently (although I hope that it'll pick up
again soon, but that's another story) and I've decided to make my presence felt
once again on the web.
I've tried to include as many sections as I could, and I've still got ideas
for some other ones to boot. Some of these sections aren't quite complete but
then again nothing will ever really be complete at this site; it will be
constantly updated with the goal of bringing you one of the most comprehensive
Captain Marvel sites on the web.
I suggest you check out all the sections, and if you're not sure where just
work your way down the list to your left. There's quite a bit of stuff that's
going to be happening with this site, and this is just the beginning. Now quit
reading this and take a look around!
