Well it's time to discuss that Header Picture up there. What the heck is Spider-Man wearing two costumes? Well what you at top is a shot of Marvel Civil War Cover issue number two. It's pretty pimp isn't it!? If you're not into comics but want to catch up on what's going on and what's so big about this event just keep reading. There might be a lot of spoilers for those who read but I want to bring everybody up to date on what's going on and how to keep up.

Everyone already knows what Civil War means. Meaning against one another. And that's just it. \It is Marvel Super Heros split into two sides. Why is this? It is because of the Super-Human Registration Act. This might sound familiar in a way from other comics and movies. X-Men of course. But they had the Mutant Registration Act. "Registration today, gas chambers tomorrow." That's pretty much enough said on it. But now something has happen to trigger what's going on. I'll just copy pasted the stuff from Wiki site since there's some other stuff I wanted to talk about anyway here after that, but it's been crazy since the Second issue came out.

The story opens with a reckless fight between the New Warriors, filming a reality television show, and a cadre of villains in Stamford, Connecticut. The battle goes awry for the heroes, resulting in villain Nitro creating an explosion that takes out a local school, the surrounding neighborhood, and all but one of the Warriors. This event catalyzes a government movement to register all super-powered beings as living weapons of mass destruction. The event also turns public opinion against superheroes, as many of them are blamed for the incident. Due to this, many superheroes -- most notably Johnny Storm the Human Torch -- are attacked in public by angry civilians. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to recruit Captain America to become part of the team that will force superheroes to register. Cap refuses, and after being attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for non-compliance, goes underground, perhaps to become the figurehead of the Anti-registration movement. Iron Man, on the other hand, supports the act and tells the government to leave Captain America to him and the other Pro-registration heroes.


The act is soon passed, and a day later Captain America and the Falcon, of Captain America's underground resistance, rescue the Young Avengers from a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison convoy. They bring the teen superheroes to an secret facility that Nick Fury has allowed them to use. Meanwhile, Peter Parker, after deliberating with his wife, Mary Jane Watson and Aunt May, unmasks himself to an audience of the world press, showing his full support for the registration act. This action causes J. Jonah Jameson to faint, as the thorn in his side for so many years was right under his nose.

Civil War: Front Line #1 indicated that all of the New Warriors team but Speedball perished in the Stamford incident and Speedball was arrested right after regaining consciousness in the hospital

In Civil War #2 Spider-man reveals himself to the public, telling them he has been Spider-man since he was fifteen.


Isn't that crazy there?  Crazy huh? I'm kind of against it but then again kind of for it with Peter Parker revealing his identity. The reason why Spider-Man chose so is that he's the everyday guy. Goes to school, has figure out how to make money, lost may people including Uncle been and first true girlfriend Gwen Stacy. So it was kind of a huge part for them to do that. Then I not really for it because it's Spider-Man! And it's kind of one of the most popular characters. It's nice seeing him in a very new setting but to reveal his Identity eh. @_@ Have to keep reading I can't wait for next issue.


I also do read DC Comics as well. Batman & Superman. there was a very recent comic that caught my eyes. I went to the comicbook store to keep up with what was going on and everything, and to pick up my comics I haven't had. there was a particular one I was reading up on in a magazine and there it was on the stands. It was Batman and Superman number 26. What's so special about this issue for me to pick it up. It's done by Sam Loeb. Yeah yeah I know you're like yea soooo. The thing is it made me think of two other people I actually know through here on Mindsay. Karolyn Dyinggasp and her friend who past away recently Natalie. Sam had cancer and had also been fighting it for three years. it's so sad that these people I've just heard recently are not even older then me, however they lived their lives more than anyone, I wish we could learn that instead knowing life's coming to an end for us you know? It's funny how I read this comic he did. It's about pretty much Robin telling the death of Superboy (Inifinite Crisis I talked about this before) But it was an episode where Robin and Superboy were together and were to find somneone. And they get into trouble like the teenage boys since they are, so it turns out to be a very funny funny comic and all the cool action. There were so many people working on this comic it was amazing. I mean people I've been reading for like more then half my life was doing artwork for this comic. If you really want to be inspired and have something to smile about. This comic is really a must get. Of course they have a little sad story of Sam at the end of this comic but left with some very encouraging words.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Dood I haven't bought comics in a long time (Well DC or marvel anyway) But this civil war thing is awesome.

 

Although...

 

it does echo Kingdom Come in a very real way...

Which is an awesome mini series itself.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
yeah Kingdom Come is pretty awesome too. Also read The Kingdom, it's the sequel to Kingdom Come. It's not Alex Ross artwork though unfortnately, but the story isn't really that bad. It does remind you of that. But man I freaked when Parker showed himself though man it's crazy. I can't wait for issue 3!!

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
I'll have to see about hunting down issues uno and dos.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
you'll probably find them pretty easily, it's a huge event so they'll have tons of copies. What you can't find are the Wolverine Origins! This is where Wolverine has gotten all his memories back after House of M (Magneto) it's pretty crazy.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
I can probably buy the graphic novels though.

Although I do have the original Kingdom Come issues

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Man I can't find any of the Marvel vs. DC comics though @_@
thearidzone on
Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
I have a few of those too

Back in the day when I collected comics

They just got to expensive for single issues you know?

I do have a tone of Darkhorse star wars comics from the early to mid 90s

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Thank you very much for putting that up there.

I don't ever read comics, but I might look for that one.
It means alot to know that you've given this issue even a thought!

Thanks Rory.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
no problem darling. Yeah just look for Batman and Superman issue #26. Has Robin and Superboy on it. It'll probably be really hard to find where you live. So even buy it online. Or actually I could by another copy and snail mail it to you ^_^

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Killer artwork, I knew it had to do with PP's unmasking. I haven't followed this stuff in years, to be honest. I think the Civil War is a serious shot in the arm for  comics in general, though.
It follows the X-Men themes fairly well, I think, and believe it or not, there's a precedent you migth not have thought about, but probablyt have- the movie The Incredibles. Superheros are forced to give up their super identities and become n9ormal people, never revealing their superpowers. It's a slightly different take, but it's similar.
Either way, this sort of soul-searching, rip-your-world-apart storylines are always cathartic and always leave scars, and make the supersuits less like pajamas and more like tattoos. And as we all know, scars are just tattoos with better stories, and this theme is going to scar some people up. SO it'll put the heroes ( and masked villians maybe ) in one of two categories- scarsuits or tattoo suits.

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
yeah there's one thing they're really forgetting though. The villians I don't think the villians are going to stand around either @_@. There a shot in Issue number five or something showing Spider-Man getting attacked by a whole bunch of people and his new costume being destroyed. Poor Peter Parker
edr on
Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Yeah, no one's thinking about the masked villians
Man, no matter how much that guy tries to upgrade his threads, the same thing always happens! First Venom, now this!
And it's been like 30 years since I read a Venom story!

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
you're correct on The Incredibles. They mention it a little on the Civil war Wiki site about registrations and all. Another comic to check out is Wolverine Origins. I'll explain it in short verison as possible. Before civil War there was House Of M. Where everyone had their dreams come true and all. Peter Parker Married Gwen Stacy and such. But to explain Wolverine, he was the only one to know what's going on. Because he got back ALL of his MEMORIES. Blessing and a curse. So now in Wolverine Origins he's finding everyone who did him wrong and taking them out it's crazy. So the Wolverine you're seeing all now has all his memories back. Origins he carries a samurai sword that's indestructable and can slice through pretty much everything. IT's so hard to find @_@

Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
Souds like it might actually make a decent narrative as well as graphic novel.

I haven't really ever been much of a comic book fan. My weaknesses were Batman and Spiderman, and sometimes the Hulk and Daredevil when I could find him. I never bought X-Men, no idea why. I liked some of the Superman stuff but it was all pretty much the same before 1972, he really needed a change.
And I stsopped buying the comics regularly by 1974. I think teh last comic book I bought was in 1976?

MakenZero on
Re: Marvel/DC LifeTimes
wow. Well X-Men had too many different series by the 90's just went too crazy. Batman is definately someone to watch all the time. Not really a big Superman reader unless it's Grpahic novel. Hulk I can only read up background stuff not stories though. PRetty much the reason why they sent the Hulk off to outerspace was practically to make the fight even on Earth. Also time to explain where hulk is. There's a series going that deals with all the cosmic heros. There's something heading for Earth that they have to stop and all. But I haven't been able to really read on to that. But the artwork on Nova, Silver Surfer, and Super Skrull are really bad ass. Yeah read grapohic novels I had been out of comics 10 years and getting back into them. Civil War is more political probably end up in disaster and a draw.
