Great runs:
Starlin.
Moench/Broderick (a run that Starlin doesn't like but that i really enjoyed).
other runs:
Stan Lee/ Gene Colan: Nothing special. Lee created the chararacter because Goodman wanted a character called "Captain Marvel". Still interesting though, as everything by those major talents.
after that decent stories but nothing special. wasn't Don Heck the artist at a time? And maybe Gary Friendrich as writer?
Roy Thomas / Gil Kane: good stuff, but in the shadow of Starlin. who followed their run.
Englehart / Milgrom: Followed Starlin. Englehart isn't fond of his run on the title. It was for him pure commercial writing i understand. He wrote it because it had to be done, and for the money. Decent run none the less. enjoyable.
After the end of the Moench/Broderick run we have one issue drawn by Frank Miller. I don't remember who was the writer, maybe Roger Stern?
Then the return of Starlin for the graphic novel The Death of Captain Marvel (Shooter had decided that there wasn't anymore anything new to do with the character and that it was better to kill him. Starlin had just lost his father from cancer and wanted to write about that.)
An issue of Silver Surfer by Ron Marz and Ron Lim where Norin meet Mar-Vell in the land of the dead. the best of their run imo.
Now: Civil War the return. I didn't read it (yet at least, but since Mar-Vell is here i'll at least browse it). I was told that this Mar-Vell is from a time before his death. so it isn't supposed to weak the Starlin graphic novel. Captain Marvel is still suposed to die one day of cancer. But if for the other character his death is their past, for him it is his future. Some sort of time travel i understand.
Well at least he is back. Too bad that there's no coherent Marvel universe anymore and that the characters changed so much that they are no longer themselves.
