This April, the past catches up with Carol Danvers in the upcoming five-issue comic book limited series, Captain Marvel: A Dark Past. The comic will be written by superstar writer Paul Jenkins, following his big return to Marvel in March, recently announced The Sentinel.

Jenkins will be joined by one of today’s most acclaimed artists, Marvel’s Stormbreaker, Lucas Werneck, known for his recent work on Storm And Unbreakable X-Men.

An illuminating journey through Carol’s past and present, the saga begins when a dark family secret is revealed, forcing Carol to revisit her time as Ms. Marvel. But some memories are best left forgotten, especially when they have the power to threaten the legacy Carol worked so hard to build.

Here is the official description of Captain Marvel: A Dark Past:

HIGHER. FURTHER AWAY. FORGET.

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, backed by a mysterious group called DNVR, reveals a dark part of Carol’s family history, she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the Danvers name! Carol suspects the answers lie in an investigation she was forced to abandon when she was a journalist, and as memories lost from her past as Ms. Marvel resurface, she faces her toughest battle yet.

Discussing his return to Marvel Comics and addressing this Captain Marvel story, Jenkins said: “True believers, I’m thrilled to be doing not one but two books at the House of Ideas. Captain Marvel is a terrific character who has also appeared as Ms. Marvel, Warbird, and even Binary.”

“With such a rich and complex past, under the guidance of so many extraordinary and talented writers, I have a ton of material to mine,” he continued. “I hope to bring my own take on characterization and storytelling to this great character, examine what makes Carol who she is, and maybe even bring out a new wrinkle or two.”

Teasing his approach to Carol Danvers’ latest adventure, Werneck said: “I’m very excited to work on this project. First of all, Carol is an incredible and powerful character, with many layers and conflicts, which is always a good challenge. Additionally, I’m very excited to work with Paul Jenkins.”

“The conversations we had about the comics, the story, and Carol’s conflicts for this project made me very excited about everything that’s to come.” he concluded.
