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 for more

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. The sharp dialogue and expressive art make the character’s internal struggle feel palpably tense and worth the investment. 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
