Maybe it's in my head, but it really feels like Marvel has been pushing the Ms.Marvel/Warbird look for Carol a lot more (and banking on it to sell). Two titles this year have 'gone back' to it, with it having dominated the cover selection of Dark Past and now getting its own cover for Incursions.
It's a big difference from 10 years ago where it felt like Marvel was doing everything in their power to distance her away from the leotard.
Now it seems like they are trying to find any reason for it to make a reappearance or end up on a cover.
I have a feeling that one day Marvel is just going to 'pull the trigger' and give Carol a new Captain Marvel design that resembles the Warbird look. This feels like them testing the waters and gauging how well Carol is received and sells in a leotard vs in the Captain Marvel style outfits.
I'm guessing it would probably look something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Captain_Marvel/s/7HGY0tO0WM
