After the announcement of his return to The Sentry — and Marvel — after a long absence, writer Paul Jenkins isn’t done quite yet. He’ll also tackle a five-issue limited series Captain Marvel: Dark Past with art by Lucas Werneck.
“True Believers, I’m thrilled to be doing not one but two books back at the House of Ideas,” Jenkins said via press release. “Captain Marvel is such a great 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 amazing and talented writers, there is a ton of material for me to mine. I hope to bring my brand of characterization and storytelling to this great character, to examine what makes Carol who she is, and perhaps even to bring out a new wrinkle or two.”
Added Werneck, “I’m very excited to be working on this project. First of all, Carol is an incredible and powerful character, with many layers and conflicts, which always presents a good challenge. Also, I’m very excited to be working with Paul Jenkins. The conversations we’ve had about the comics, the story, and Carol’s conflicts for this project have made me very enthusiastic about everything that’s to come.”
In the five issue series, Carol Danvers is forced to revisit her time as Ms. Marvel, with some other secrets from her past cropping up their ugly heads at the same time.
Captain Marvel: Dark Past #1 hits stores on April 1, 2026 from Marvel. Check out the covers by Lucas Werneck and Ejikure, as well as synopsis and solicit info below.
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.
