Apr 01, 2026Captain Marvel: Dark Past #1 is a measured, veteran opening that trades flashy combat for a deep, psychological dive into Carol Danvers’ psyche.

While it leans heavily on established tropes, the creative synergy between Jenkins and Werneck ensures the story remains grounded and engaging. Ultimately, this issue earns its spot on the pull list by promising a mature exploration of identity that actually cares about the person behind the mask. Read Full Review
