Captain Marvel: Dark Past #1

(W) Paul Jenkins (A) Lucas Werneck

THE LEGACY OF MS. MARVEL! As a cosmic level being, Captain Marvel has saved universes, thwarted alien invasions and even defeated a god or two. But when an attack on New York — bolstered by a mysterious group called DNVR — exposes a dark part of Carol’s family history, she’s forced to question everything she thought she knew about the Danvers name! Carol suspects that answers lie in an investigation she was forced to drop when she was a journalist, and as lost memories from her past as Ms. Marvel resurface, she’s faced with her toughest battle yet.

PAUL JENKINS (THE SENTRY, WOLVERINE: ORIGIN) and LUCAS WERNECK (STORM, IMMORTAL X-MEN) join forces for a journey through Carol’s past and present!

The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio, Netho Diaz, Simone Di Meo, Juan Frigeri, Gurihiru, Jonas Scharf, Geoff Shaw, and Luciano Vecchio.

Announced last month, the new one-shots shake the foundations of every corner of the Marvel mythos with startling shifts to iconic storylines, kicking off in June with What If…? Uncanny X-Men #1, where Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua ask “What if… Cyclops had stayed with Madelyne Pryor?” and What If…? Thor #1, where Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila ask “What if… Thor got Spider-Man’s symbiote suit?”

A secret from Carol Danver’s past is revealed in Captain Marvel: Dark Past

Posted on by

This April, the past catches up to Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel: Dark Past!

A five-issue comic book limited series, Captain Marvel: Dark Past will be written by superstar writer Paul Jenkins, following his grand return to Marvel this March with the recently announced The Sentry series. Joining Jenkins will be artist Lucas Werneck. An illuminating journey through Carol’s past and present, the saga kicks off when a dark family secret is exposed, forcing Carol to revisit her time as Ms. Marvel. But some memories are better left forgotten, especially when they have the power to threaten the legacy Carol worked so hard to build…

HIGHER. FURTHER. FORGOTTEN.

As a cosmic level being, Captain Marvel has saved universes, thwarted alien invasions and even defeated a god or two. But when an attack on New York—bolstered by a mysterious group called DNVR—exposes a dark part of Carol’s family history, she’s forced to question everything she thought she knew about the Danvers name! Carol suspects that answers lie in an investigation she was forced to drop when she was a journalist, and as lost memories from her past as Ms. Marvel resurface, she’s faced with her toughest battle yet.

Check out Werneck’s main cover along with a foil variant cover by Ejikure and preorder Captain Marvel: Dark Past #1 at your local comic shop today!
