by Marvel
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 one of today’s most acclaimed artists, Marvel’s Stormbreaker Lucas Werneck, known for recent work on STORM and UNBREAKABLE X-MEN. 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.

On Sale 4/1On his return to Marvel Comics and taking on Captain Marvel, Jenkins said, « True Believers, I’m thrilled to be doing not one but two books back at the House of Ideas. 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. »
On drawing Carol Danvers’ latest adventure, Werneck said, « 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. »
Ça fait plaisir de voir revenir Jenkins. Et content que Werneck quitte le giron mutant.

Ça donne envie.
Sinon, moi qui ne suit plus trop les aventures de Captain Marvel, ça fait longtemps qu’elle porte cette tenue ? Je la trouve bien classe dedans.
Elle l’a dans les Avengers actuels et le volume récent où elle switchait de place avec une voleuse.
Et si captain marvel etait plutôt un personnage dc ?

C’est le cas, mais pas le même Captain Marvel (et, désormais, il s’appelle Shazam…).

Très bon. Paul Jenkins revient chez Marvel et, après sa relance solide de The Sentry, il s’empare sobrement et efficacement d’une Carol Danvers qui en a bien besoin. On débute ici avec Captain Marvel & Iron Man qui affrontent le Wrecking Crew boosté à la technologie Kree, avec Tony blessé mais Carol qui assure même si Wrecker évoque la mère Kree de l’héroïne. Plus tard, ils papotent car Stark a identifié que Danvers va mal, et elle indique ne plus arriver à faire le tri entre ses souvenirs, ceux qui sont revenus après l’absorption par Rogue et même des flashs du futur car son 7e sens serait de retour. Tony écoute et conseille, Carol a des visions d’une altercation avec son père qui hurlait « ça aurait dû être toi », et elle pense qu’il lui reproche que son frère soit mort et pas elle. Elle se recueille sur la tombe de sa mère, sans comprendre pourquoi elle est restée si longtemps, puis va papoter chez Jessica Drew, qui lui propose de s’aérer les idées. Carol a un flash d’une aventure passée où elle a trouvé le logo « DNVR » dans des archives militaires, elle « sent » que c’est lié à l’attaque du Crew et elles trouvent un bout de tissu avec ce logo dessus. Mais Carol « sent » que quelqu’un les vise… et en effet, un sniper les menace !
C’est très bien, oui. Enfin, c’est bien en soi, mais « très bien » car ça fait hélas longtemps que Carol n’a pas été aussi bien prise en main, et c’est quelqu’un qui a aimé le run de Kelly Thompson qui dit ça. Le scénario aborde bien les traumatismes du perso’ et ses proches, sans rentrer dans le misérabilisme ni la suffisance, et le mystère est intéressant, même si réécrire ses origines est un procédé facile. Lucas Werneck livre de jolies planches, belles et dynamiques.
Un très bon début avec ce sentiment d’un perso’ « enfin » bien traité et abordé.
Les avis sont aussi très positfs outre atlantique.
