Marvel’s Civil War

Civil War, Illustrated Edition, by Stuart Moore       

After the  U.S. government passes the Superhero Registration Act, legislation designed to keep superheroes in check, the superheroes of the world find themselves divided. The act requires any person in the United States who possesses superpowers to register with the government. Iron Man leads those who support the act, while Captain America vehemently opposes it. The X-Men remain staunchly neutral, Spiderman gets caught somewhere in the middle, and the powers-that-be become increasingly war-torn.

Civil War explores the conflict between freedom and security, a timely subject in the present day world, and incorporates real-life events, such as the U.S. government’s surveillance of its citizenry. Beautifully illustrated by Steve McNiven and textually formatted like a novel, this new edition is a hybrid of formats. Experience Marvel’s blockbuster event like never before in this illustrated prose adaptation of the smash-hit graphic novel that has sold more than half a million copies in print and digital formats!

Marvel’s Civil War has also hit the big screen. Starring Chris Evans as Captain America and Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, the movie adaptation is currently playing near you!
