(GRAPHIC NOVEL)

Civil War 1-7. written by Mark Millar and drawn by Steve McNiven (New York: Marvel Comics, 2010).

This is by far one of my favorite comic books. It’s about all our favorite super heroes from Marvel getting split down the middle and going at it with each other. It starts out with a reality show staring some semi-unknown trying to get their ratings up so they go after a team of very powerful super villains. In the battle there is a huge explosion which causes the death of a lot of innocent civilians including a few children. In the aftermath the government passes the super hero registration act which calls for all masked heroes to make their identities known and register with the government. For some this seems like a good idea, especially with Tony Stark (Iron Man) heading the idea. When it is passed there are a few heroes who go underground because they oppose it. Leading this team is Captain America who was against it from the start. With constant action and a great story to go along with it, Civil War is a comic I recommend to any Marvel fan.
