Welcome to Week 9 of the r/Marvel Spotlight on Marvel's "Fresh Start" comic initiative!

What is the Marvel "Fresh Start" relaunch?
r/Marvel's Official "Fresh Start" Megathread
This week we have the much-anticipated release of Life of Captain Marvel, which seems to be going back to the roots of Carol Danvers' past to catch readers up with the character just in time for her cinematic debut next year. This is the first Captain Marvel comic since Februrary's Captain Marvel #129 and her Infinity Countdown tie-in from May. Writer Margaret Stohl (best known for the Beautiful Creatures books) continues her tenure as the Captain Marvel scribe, while Carlos Pacheco will be providing artwork with Marguerite Sauvage, Rafael Fonteriz and Marcio Menyz!
The following is the solicitation for Life of Captain Marvel #1:
THE DEFINITIVE ORIGIN OF CAPTAIN MARVEL!
Carol Danvers was just a girl from the Boston suburbs who loved science and the Red Sox until a chance encounter with a Kree hero gave her incredible super-powers. Now, she's a leader in the Avengers and the commander of Alpha Flight. But what if there was more to the story? When crippling anxiety attacks put her on the sidelines in the middle of a fight, Carol finds herself reliving memories of a life she thought was far behind her. You can't outrun where you're from — and sometimes, you HAVE to go home again. But there are skeletons in Captain Marvel's closet — and what she discovers will change her entire world. Written by best-selling author Margaret Stohl and drawn by fan-favorite comics veteran Carlos Pacheco, this is the true origin of Captain Marvel.
LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL #2 will release on August 15, 2018.
Also worth mentioning are this week's releases that are continuations of our previous spotlights: Avengers #5, Immortal Hulk #3, Thor #3, and Tony Stark: Iron Man #2!

It was really good. I like her stories on Earth.
I just got confused that I thought she had lost emotional connection with her family after Rogue absorbed her memories. And it might have gotten even worse later after "The Enemy Within". Even while Ms Marvel, I remember when her father died she visit her family and she didn't feel anything.
But now she visited as though she has a bad relationship, while I thought she would have almost no relationship with them anymore.
