9	!! ''Captain Marvel'' provides examples of the following tropes:
10
11	* ArtEvolution: In addition to updating Carol's costume, Jen Bartel has also tweaked Carol's character model from it's Thompson-era look (such as a new hairstyle).
12	* BraidsOfAction: While Carol retains her Kelly Thompson-era long hair, Jen Bartel's updated character design shows it's now been braided. As of the pre-release, it's unknown if there's an in-story explanation for the change.
13	* CostumeEvolution: The initial press release [[https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/captain-marvel-alyssa-wong-jan-bazaldua-new-costume reveals]] Jamie [=McKelvie=]'s design, which debuted with Kelly Sue [=Deconnick=]'s run in 2012, has been formally retired with Thompson's run (or at least for now). Carol's costume has been redesigned by Jen Bartel (and influenced by her Hellfire Gala 2023 design for Carol). As of the pre-release, it's unknown if there's an in-story explanation for the costume changeover.
14	* EldritchAbomination: The Undone, yet another one of the embodiments of entropy that exist within the Marvel Universe.
15	* GeniusLoci: The Last Matter Fortress. It initially just seems to be reactive, but then it starts attacking Carol and Yuna by shapeshifting into Blastaar and Black Cat.
16	* OpponentSwitch: The Last Matter Fortress fights Carol and Yuna as their equals, Blastaar and Black Cat. Carol and Yuna get around this by using the Nega-Bands to swap places too quickly for the Last Matter Fortress to react, allowing Carol to easily knock out the fake Black Cat.
17	* TheReveal: The Omen is Yuna's classmate and crush, Leonore.
18	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Genis-Vell, who was previously Captain Marvel, is brutally killed by new villain Omen in the first issue. This reinforces Omen as a threat, as well as setting up the new status-quo by passing Genis-Vell's powerful nega-bands on to Yuna]].
19	* SwapTeleportation: As seen in their previous appearances, the nega-bands can swap their wearer for another person. When Yuna's wearing them, this swaps her with Carol.
20	* VariantCover: John Tyler Christopher will be contributing negative space covers. The press release also reveals further variants and artists will be announced in the coming months.
