Keyword: decades. The source material for Marvel movies is primarily from when comics as a medium were more...relevant.
The
The Captain Marvel Prelude comic came out today and it follows Fury and Hill from the end of Age of Ultron to the end of Infinity War. Unfortunately, there are ten pages covering stuff already seen in the movies, so there's only 10 pages of original material. We see Fury and Hill going into action trying to bring the team back together to face the threats that Fury knows are out there.
However, Steve doesn't trust the current status quo to take care of the things that need taking care of...
After establishing how little they trust each other, Hill's plea to Stark is similarly uneffective.
The comic ends as Infinity War ended, with Fury and Hill dusted, and the SOS to Captain Marvel sent.
Unlike other "Prelude" comics, this one doesn't really tell us anything that wasn't seen the movies or other Prelude comics. The comics uses vague timestamps such as "Some time later" or "Months later", rather than using the MCU's confusing timeline.

Ugh. Sounds like they played it way too safe in an attempt to not spoil anything. Would've been better to write something better and release it later but, I know, that defeats the purpose.
Yeah, it would seem that the days of Iron Man 2: Public Identity and Fury's Big Week are long behind us. Now, those two stories didn't really provide much along the lines of spoilers, but they did tell their own story and added cool little details and texture to the wider MCU. This one, however, just recaps stuff from the movies and essentially just repeats the same beats with Steve and Tony that were in the Infinity War prelude, just with the addition of Fury and the Hill to the mix.
More likely scenario: they don't actually know anything to spoil in the first place.
From what I gather these tie-in comics have little to nothing to do with Marvel Studios and are basically licenced merchandise made by the comics division and they have even less to do with the movie side of things than the TV people do. Fans can throw words like "canon" around all they want, but the reality is that the movie people don't care what the tie-in comics do and thus, they don't matter.
The guy who writes all these "Prelude" books these days, Will Corona Pilgrim, is not a comic book writer first and foremost, but rather the Creative Research Director for Marvel Studios. These prelude books are the only comics he's ever written.

He even got to briefly consult with screenwriter Steven Mcfeely for the pitch to this comic.

That's surprising, especially given the lack of "new" content. I mean it doesn't sound like something that needed a person who's in the know to write it.
Yeah, this guy is no Pablo Hidalgo.
Some new pics from the reshoots, including some good shots of Clark Gregg wearing CGI tracking dots on his face. Spoiler alert! Coulson's hair is not CGI.

Coulson's hair is all wrong! Worst movie ever! Why does Brie Larson hate the Marvel universe so much?!?!

Maybe not "wrong" but it does not suit him one bit.
I actually like it. It has a certain 90s flair to it.
No way. He's obviously playing a young Michael Casper. Duh.
I don't think that Clark Gregg has ever had that much hair in real life 
I like how the hair & make-up people decided to flatter him by giving him more hair than he actually had back in '95.I actually like it. It has a certain 90s flair to it.
Side note: while looking for reference footage from around that time I came across this clip of Agent Coulson hanging out with Norman Osborn, Luke Cage's old man and that one guy from Doctor Strange. Though I think the biggest surprise here was that Raymond Cruz doesn't have a Marvel credit yet!

Damn, I forgot Clark Gregg and Reg E. Cathey were in that movie!
And yeah, I'm also surprised Cruz hasn't shown up in the MCU yet.

Gregg really hasn’t changed much since the early 90’s
