A reasonably interesting graphic novel in which Captain Marvel discovers he is dying of cancer. The other members of Marvel's super-hero community gather to him, first to seek a cure, then to pay homage. A little too P.C., and Starlin's artwork is not really my flavor, but the story is fairly interesting, a rare chance for Marvel Comics to handle the true death of one of their heroes. ( )

A hero is ill, and despite all their power, the rest of the Marvel universe can do nothing to stop Mar-Vell from dying from cancer.

They all come to pay their respect to the brave warrior, including his archenmey, Thanos. This is really well done. So well done, in fact, that this is one character that has stayed dead.
