As announced in Entertainment Weekly Captain Marvel will revert to it's classic title and numbering of #125 as part of the Marvel Legacy initiative and kicks off a look at Carol's origin.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Carol has one of the most convoluted backstories in all of Marvel. How will the events of “Dark Origin” make sense of her complicated history?
MARGARET STOHL: Whose coming-of-age story isn’t set in a Negative Zone is one way or another? I know mine certainly was! The heart of Carol’s origin story is her family, and it’s so much simpler and so much bigger than the pieces that have been told before. “Dark Origin,” our Legacy story arc, will take Carol down a pretty terrifying wormhole back to her own past, setting up an epic confrontation that she’ll be dealing with in one way or another for the next two arcs. It’s an epic story Marvel editors Sana Amanat, Joe Quesada, and Axel Alonso have been brainstorming with me since our last creative summit, and I’m super excited to get to tell it.
In recent years, Captain Marvel has taken on a major leadership role in the Marvel Universe. How will that continue or change under Legacy?
As I’ve said in the past, with the events of Secret Empire, we’ve really been reminded that there’s more than one Cap in the Marvel Universe. As Captain America stumbles, Captain Marvel steps up. Watching Steve lose his way has only made Carol more certain of hers — which is good, because almost everything else she’s thought she knew about her life is about to be called into question. Buckle up, folks. Things are about to get pretty wild in the Carol-verse.
