900 casualties, the unmasking of Spider-Man and the death of Goliath were all part of the Marvel Comics event: Civil War.
This comic book style story had magnificent detail, interesting storyline, and constant surprises, written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve McNiven.
In the Marvel Universe, a tragedy occurs, which causes Congress to pass the Superhero Registration Act.
This Act requires all heroes and villains to unmask themselves to the government.
Iron-Man (Tony Stark) led a group of heroes into forcing all unregistered to register their identity. Captain American (Steve Rogers) led the underground resistance.
Truly a masterpiece was created.
The story begins with a team called The New Warriors.
This group of masked characters works for a reality television show, which seek fighters for combat.
A villain named Nitro blew up next to an elementary school that caused hundreds of casualties and thus the civil war begins.
I will tell you a little bit about Spider-Man’s involvement in the war. Before the war, Spider-Man died, but was able to resurrect himself. Tony Stark saw him as a protégé and built a new red and gold spider suit. To support Stark, Spider-Man signed the registration and revealed his true identity, Peter Parker.
After the death of Goliath (he was part of the resistance), Stark and Parker got into a lot of problems.
Government agents were hunting Parker because he fought with Stark.
The Thunderbolts were used to find Parker and arrest him.
The Thunderbolts are a group of villains like Venom, Bullseye, Lady Deathstrike.
The Punisher eventually saved Parker and took him to the underground resistance.
The battles were very intense and a twist at every battle. Towards the end both teams finally faced off for the final battle. The story was amazing.
You have to read this comic to find out what really happens.
Iron-Man’s team has Yellowjacket, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Bishop, the Thing, Thor and many more.
Captain America’s team has Human Torch, Black Panther, Storm, Cable, Daredevil, Namor and many more.
This comic book has some blood, a lot of suspense and an interesting ending.
I recommend all marvel fans to read this event and keep it for the ages. Those who read it, will truly understand the meaning of “whose side . are you on?”
This book is rated T, and I give it a 10 out of 10.
