Marvel ’s Civil War II # 1 comic event in the end begins tomorrow , but are you organize ? dread not , because we ’re here with the answers to all your questions , as well as everything else you should jazz about Civil War II .
Why Is It Happening?
Well , on the macro level , it ’s because “ effect comics ” do well . But why another Civil War is brewing in Marvel ’s comics - verse line , well , in the last year the act of Inhumans — superpowered mutant ( but not capital - thousand “ Mutants ” like the X - man ) who even human being transformed by exposure to a mysterious sum forebode Terrigen Mists unlocking secret potential within dormant Inhuman gene enshroud in their bodies — has been on the rise in Marvel ’s comedian , as a giant swarm of Terrigen Mists moves its way around the Earth .
One of these young Inhumans , a newly awakened college student named Ulysses , discover he has the power to predict the future with preternatural accuracy . After being taken in by the Inhumans and taught to perfect his abilities , Ulysses predicts the reaching of a cataclysmic cosmic entity that will destruct the Earth … but with selective information of his comer relayed to the heroes of the Marvel universe , they band together to block it .
The literal argument then lies with what to do with Ulysses ’ abilities . Can he be trust to be as accurate all the time ? Should his visual sense be used to pre - prosecute baddie before they can act?It ’s all very Minority Report , as much as Marvel dislikes the compare ; they choose the zeitgeisty allusion to security system and privacy that has dominated conversation in the wake of the Snowden leak . Either elbow room , two sides will form over the parameter of how to lick a job like Ulysses .
Who’s Fighting Who?
astonishingly , noted SOB and outright scoundrel of the last Civil War outcome , Tony Stark , is not on “ Team Pre - Crime Is fairly Good You Guys . ” alternatively that honor goes to Captain Marvel , who is presently a member of the Ultimates , a cosmic superteam that was formed to foresee grave threats to Earth before they become a threat . Tony rises up as her foeman , believe that it is morally wrong to penalise people for offense they may or may not commit on the word of an Inhuman he does n’t know .
While we do n’t know for certain how every champion go in — there ’s going to be a whole miniseries about heroes picking their side , operate alongside Civil War II — art loose promoting the Choosing Sides miniseriesfeatured case split like this :

wonder hassince notedthat these sides are neither definitive or changeless — just as the original Civil War did , we ’ll be seeing grinder change dedication as the story evolves . make horse sense , as some of these heroes definitely do not feel like they should belong on their current teams .
Not Everyone Will Make It Out Alive
Ah , that sometime chestnut . It would n’t be a mirthful book event without a full death or two , and no matter how impermanent comic book deaths are , it ’s once again because nothing reach for a splashier newspaper headline than “ Comic Book Character IS DEAD ! ” But all ’s fair in love and ( polite ) state of war , so when the greatest superpowered beings in the Marvel population go toe - to - toe , you ca n’t really have a bun in the oven it not to feature a bit of bloodshed .
Marvel has been razz big death , including one likely major fatal accident that will come from the heroes learning , through Ulysses , one of their own will be responsible for for an imminent ruinous approach that can only be solve with said hero ’s death . Plus , we already get laid of a few potential casualty — if you sawMarvel ’s Free Comic Book Dayoffering for Civil War II earlier this month , you experience exactly whose days are numbered .
What’s Happening to the Regular Comics?
An event series is all well and good if it ’s your entrance breaker point into a comedian , but if you ’re a regular reader already , the biggest annoyance can be when said event stampedes all over the series you ’re currently read in an attempt to tie everything together . you may definitelty expect that with Civil War II , because there are fail to be a ton of comics associated with this event .
Next calendar month alone , there are 17 ( ! ) comics carry the Civil War II banner , including the primary serial , miniseries , and tie - in issues from current on-going series . There ’s obvious crosstie - IN like Captain Marvel and Invincible Iron Man , but everyone from Ms. Marvel to New Avengers are getting require . betting odds are if you ’re reading Marvel book regularly , at least a couple of them will be interrupted by Civil War II .
However , unlike the original Civil War , Marvel promise that Civil War II will not be as egregious in its all - encompassing stranglehold over the company ’s current outturn . Not every serial publication will be involved — current series we know do n’t have programme for crosstie - ins include Black Panther , Unbeatable Squirrel Girl , and Howard the Duck . Likewise do n’t carry Civil War II to touch upon all too many developments ongoing in the regular serial . think howCaptain America is essentially a Nazi now ? It likely wo n’t follow up in Civil War II .
Is It Really a Sequel to Civil War?
Ever since Civil War II was rumored , we were distressed about it being a direct follow up to the original Civil War , just as we wereconcerned that the moving picture could be a close version of it(thankfully itdid its own thing ) . Why ? The original Civil War was not dear .
Thankfully , form of address aside , Civil War II is its own storey . The circumstances are unlike , its central debate a hatful less tangible ( it ’s an argument about foreknowledge , rather than a legal enactment that ’s come in into situation ) , and so far , a vastly different cast and approach . Neither Tony Stark or Carol Danvers have yet to to rick into a mustach- twirling shit in any of the pre - loose fabric , so hopefully it holds up on the part front too .
…So Why Is It Called Civil War II Again?
Synergy ! The original Civil War , as ridiculous as it was , was an perfectly Brobdingnagian and iconic laughable event for Marvel . And get ’s not draw a blank that a movie that ’s raked in over a billion dollars and vast swathe of critical and public worship came out a month ago carry its name . What better way to bring hoi polloi into buying your new comics by have that placeable name and slap a “ II ” on it ?
Oh , and heroes perforate each other , I suppose . Sometimes that ’s all you ask .
