My Top Five List of Alternative Comics To Read Post#3 ” Civil War ”

Mar­vel Comics had two big events last year, the first being the one I really appreciated…

Marvel’s Civil War, was their main event that was a stand alone story, but also ran through most ( if not all ) of their main stay titles. I liked the fact that Mar­vel did this just so I did not have to pick up every sin­gle book that might have had a tie into this tale.

The series writ­ten by Mark Miller, and pen­cils pro­vided by Steve McNiven was a seven issue series that I felt was strong enough for me to write a post called ” Comics, Rais­ing Our Social Con­science “, and you can read that post here.

I won’t say too much more here other than the fact that the events in Civil War led up to the Mar­vel Comics wide ” The Ini­tia­tive “, the breakup of the Avengers, and the ref­or­ma­tion of two dif­fer­ent Avengers teams, and of course the Ed Brubaker ” Death of Cap­tain Amer­ica ” sto­ry­line which was felt all over the Mar­vel Uni­verse, and was also felt in the real world, as Cap’s death gar­nered news­pa­per head­lines, and could be favor­ably com­pared to the hoopla behind the ” Death of Super­man ” sev­eral years back.
