Marvel’s Civil War II – Success or Failure?

Walt

When Marvel Comics began teasing a sequel to their Civil War comic book event last year I had mixed feeling that it could be done again and succeed as a major crossover story arc again. Are they tryng to capitalize on the fact that it is the 10th anniversary of the original series written by Mark Millar and art by Steve McNiven or the fact that the Cinematic Universe experienced a Civil War of its own in the third Captain America movie. Some would say that if done well it…

Silver Surfer #6 Review

Media Release

I’ve not been reading many Marvel Comics of late. Secret Wars wasn’t my cup of tea, providing a great opportunity to stop purchasing digitally day and date and finally use my Marvel Unlimited subscription. Civil War 2 pulling the line together again – well, more like strangling it – has seen me buying only books I really, really like. Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hellcat… and Silver Surfer. There’s a wonderful breeziness to this series as the Surfer and companion Dawn Greenwood explore the literal Marvel Universe. Big fights, big Terra-Forms, occasionally,…

Marvel Civil War II #3 Review

Walt

I loved Mark Millar’s Civil War series in 2006–2007 with art by Steven McNiven. It had everything you would want in a cross over superhero comic extravaganza.

The act arose due to public pressure for accountability following a series of superhuman-related events causing significant damage and death within the Marvel universe. Tony Stark, the superhero Iron Man, who had…
