Welcome to Journey Into Misery, where I explain complicated comics characters, continuity and concepts to the patient and perpetually perplexed Helena Hart.

This week we’re weaving in between the story beats that make the original Captain Marvel such an iconic figure, and the real-life drama that surrounded the character. A true Journey Into Misery as we head from the distilled fun of CC Beck to the cynical mess of The New 52.
