Not everyone will be able to pick up a copy of Captain Marvel #8 today. Before going on sale, copies are being pre-sold on eBay for up to $25 a pop with up to $140 for the 1:25 variant. Insanity. It's all part of what we're calling Monster Wednesday here at Bleeding Cool.

So here, for the rest of us, is a brief glimpse at the new Star, And from the off, with the sun behind her, floating in mid-air with her cape billowing in the breeze – after flying and smashing through stuff, she does give the impression of being a Superman for the Marvel Universe. To join Gladiator, Sentry and the like.

We even get a look at her own logo as well. Will we see it at the top of an issue #1 sometime in the near future?

Captain Marvel #8 is published, if you can find it. And afford it. Otherwise, a second printing will be along very soon – probably with Star on the cover, as above…

CAPTAIN MARVEL #8

CAPTAIN MARVEL: FALLING STAR! From the moment she returned to full-time Avengers duty in New York City, Captain Marvel's life has been nonstop…and slightly weird. But she's about to take on a brand-new threat – and a very old one! When her Kree heritage is exposed to the world in dramatic fashion, Carol goes from most beloved hero to public enemy number one overnight – and it's pushing her to the darkest edge. Can she save the day even while the world turns on her? Does she want to?
