Coinciding with the debut of Marvel’s Agent Carter which will see Hayley Atwell (The Sweeney) and Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double) reprising their roles of Peggy Carter and Howard Stark, the characters will also be teaming together in a limited 5-part comic book series by writer Kathryn Immonen and artist Rich Ellis called Operation S.I.N..
At the height of the Cold War, a supremely powerful alien energy source is discovered on Russian soil. In an effort to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, secret agent Peggy Carter and Howard Stark must intercept it before it’s too late. Only they’re not the only interested parties. A new terrorist splinter group named Hydra is on the hunt, seeking the alien technology for their own sinister purposes. It’s only when a mysterious operative named Woodrow McCord enters the picture that Peggy and Howard will see just how far some people will go to keep Earth safe from harm. But is he there to aid Peggy and Howard? Or to stop them?
“To me, there was no one else that could handle this story with as much finesse and style as Kathryn and Rich,” stated series editor Jon Moisan, in an interview with Marvel.com. “There was no one else in my mind that would write it as well as Kathryn.”
Operation S.I.N. #1 which features a cover by Michael Komark and a variant by Gabriel Hardman commences in January 2014.
