5The series, set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, revisits the titular Genis-Vell, son of Marvel's original version of Captain Marvel. Genis-Vell used the codename after his father died and starred in three volumes of ''Captain Marvel'' comics before the codename was passed on to Carol Danvers.

7Genis-Vell's been dead for a long time, only recently returning to life. His friend Rick Jones, who he was linked to by the power of the Nega-Bands, has died and returned in that time. Now that they're back, they want to reassemble their lives - for Rick, that means finding his wife Marlo. For Genis, it means recovering lost memories and facing some old foes.

12!!''Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel'' contains examples of the following tropes:
13* AnachronicOrder: The story from Halvacenter, before Rick and Genis died, is woven through the current events.
14* TheBusCameBack: Jazinda, the immortal Skrull who was a supporting character in Peter David's ''She-Hulk'' run, makes her first appearance in many years.
15* DeathIsCheap: Rick isn't too surprised to be back. He even made a point of planning ahead a couple of years on his rent, just in case.
16-->'''Tony Stark:''' ''—Rick?!'' I thought you had ''died''!
17-->'''Rick Jones:''' Yeah, like ''that'' ever lasts.
18* DeityOfHumanOrigin: [[spoiler:Marlo eventually becomes the new version of Death]].
19* {{Deuteragonist}}: As with some of the original Peter David comics, ‘’Captain Marvel'' may be in the title, but Rick gets an equal share of the story.
20* DrivenToSuicide: Ironically, Death herself has grown tired of being feared and hated by all that lives and is willing to [[PlayAlongPrisoner let herself]] be captured and killed by the Kree.
21* GenreSavvy: Rick wanders down a street, passing someone installing an air conditioner a couple of floors up, and sees a man walking the other way in headphones. He intercepts and delays him for a second - and the falling air conditioner hits where he would have been standing.
22-->'''Rick Jones:''' There's a guy installing an air conditioner. He's gonna drop it because of ''course'' he will.
