Questions about the Civil War

i was thinking the same thing, this Civil War thing looks interesting, but i'm more of a DC guy myself.

 

x-men are barely in the main storyline,but have their own tie in book

 

Hope that helped

 

The Fantastic four and Amazing Spider-man comics will both be a big part of it. However I think you'll do just find being able to understand everythin' without readin' 'em, they just expand on what's happenin' in Civil War itself.

The whole registration started before the 100 kids died, also. The governement was allready lookin' into makin' all " Superheroes " reveal their identities. Tony Stark and Spidey were actually in court discussin' the issue when they were attacked.


New Avengers will play perhaps the biggest role. The upcoming NA arc is called " DISSASEMBLED " which will mean the team is splittin'. Spider-man has probably got the biggest part ta play outta 'em all.

 

LEX: my suggestion, you should definitely read the New Avengers: Illuminati special before you read Civil War #1. New Avengers will likely be VERY tied to the crossover, so you may want to stick with that. However, beyond that you probably don't have to read anything else unless you want to. They do this with crossovers all the time: All you have to is read the main series, and if you're curious about what's going on behind the scenes with some of the other characters, then you can check out their tie ins. But you absolutely do not have to, and it would probably be a waste of a fair amount of money if you bought too many of them.

How in god's name are you at over 8,000 posts when you've been here less than 2 months? Jesus man, did the wife take the kids and leave you with nothing but the computer or something?

 

Im not much of a Marvel reader either, so can someone sum up what this storyline is? Who's fighting who and why? I'd like to know, but not enough to buy the comics and play catch-up.

 

8000 posts in 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, It's the upcomin' arc in New Avengers. Issue 21 I think?

 

The government is enacting legislation that will require all superheroes to register, reveal their identities, and work for them if they want to continue to operate. Obviously not everyone agrees with that, so that's why there's a Civil War.

 

If your store has back issues, look for Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #5 and 6

 

Damn that is a f***ing awesome pic. Why were they fighting then?

 

It's really good story by Waid. It was set right after Cap was reawoken from the ice, and IM was taking him around New York. They get attacked by some robots or something, and they're seperated. Iron Man is thinking Cap must have gotten knocked out, because he's not really that useful because he's only human. Meanwhile, we see Cap's actually kicking major ass. Then whatever they were fighting gets control of IM's armor and sends him after Steve, who promptly trounces him.

 

Damn Cap is ready for anything.

 

Is it metahumans fighting the government? I can't imagine heroes or villains who would go along with that. Sounds promising....and alot like the first X-men movie with Senator Kelly.


Who is your avatar? I keep thinking Cary Grant for some reason.

 

Gregory Peck, a damn fine actor, he was.
