SyFy: Next month, writer and designer Jamie McKelvie and artist Marika Cresta will revive the universe of Peggy Carter's Super-Soldier adventures with Captain Carter, a five-issue miniseries that borrows a key question from the world of Captain America: What if Captain Carter was frozen in ice, only to reawaken 80 years later in a new era full of new threats?
Peggy's re-emergence on the scene decades after the second World War will also change the balance of power elsewhere, bringing old enemies back to the fore and testing the balance of power in a world that has long since gotten used to a version of Captain Carter who was lost to history. That means Peggy will have to find allies, and while he's not giving too much away, McKelvie did tease at least one key arrival who's emerged in teaser art for the series.
"By now you'll have seen that a certain purple-haired S.T.R.I.K.E. agent by the name of Braddock makes an appearance," McKelvie said. "Quite a few other characters show up in various different ways, but I wouldn't want to give too much away at this point! It's definitely focused on the Marvel U.K. side of things, because the bulk of the story is set in the U.K., but that doesn't mean there won't be any North American Marvel characters showing up too."
In the covers and exclusive pages below, you'll get a sneak peek at what Peggy's return is like, as she tries to assert herself and, on the cover for Captain Carter #2, teams up with her universe's version of Betsy Braddock.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

An opportunity to peek into Betsy's agent aspect and her paternal side involved in clandestine human matters as presented with MCU Easter eggs. The introduction of Black Knight solidifies Sir James Braddock
as a magical resident of Otherworld.
It is interesting to separate her maternal family tree as the one involved with Hellfire matters dating back to Nathaniel Essex time. It creates the needed tension between light and darkness.
