Captain Marvel (1994) [Comics]

After a 1989 one-shot, Monica Rambeau/Captain Marvel next got a solo adventure in 1994. She's still figuring out her new powers (which allow her to project electromagnetic radiation but no longer become it) and has developed a new wrinkle, the ability to become more or less invisible. While attending a conference on the campus of Empire State University (Peter Parker's alma mater), Rambeau comes across a hate crime in progress, perpetrated by a group of masked racists called the Sons of the Serpent. Captain Marvel disposes of them in traditional super hero fashion, and learns that the attack was just one of a recent spate of hate crimes on campus. One thing leads to another, and before long C.M. is up against a strange, amorphous blob of a super-villain named Skinhead. Comic books have a goofy habit of attaching a costume and codename to real-world evils and then "solving" the problem through super heroic intervention, but that being said the comic isn't preachy or completely inane (by comic book standards). It's actually pretty good, and I wouldn't have minded seeing more Captain Marvel solo projects.
