Secret Avengers # 27 Brings Back Captain Marvel

Is Marvel Comics really planning on bringing back their cosmic heavy hitter Captain Marvel in the pages of Avengers vs X-Men or AvX?


Seems like that's the case. What's really funky about this cover is that its the old costume. Oh and yes, that is the Phoenix Force that he is soaring out of. And the two characters in the cover? Those are his "legacy" characters - Ms. Marvel and the alternate universe Kree champ The Protector. 



I'm all for this. While the original Captain Marvel might have been dead there are some hints that and plots that can be used to bring him back. Remember that during "Civil War" a Captain Marvel made a return with the premise that he is the real deal and that he was sent to the future after getting caught in some temporal anomaly. 



That was all well and good until it turns out that this "returned" Mar-Vell was in fact a Skrull sent to confuse and misdirect Earth's heroes as a "sleeper agent". 

Anyway, its a long story and we haven't even touched on the subject of Vell's kids (Genis and Phylla) who were also one time bearers of the Nega-Bands. 

Here's to hoping that Rick Remender and Renato Guedes pull this off for Secret Avengers # 27.
